I love this podcast. MetaFilter is the best of the web, and this podcast is the best of MetaFilter. Or at least it’s what the awesome Jessamyn and Cortex think is the best/most interesting/weird.
They are two of my favorite parasocial friends, and the show is casual and interesting every time!
Gotta love the nonsense
If you're a member of the site, this is a great way of discovering posts that you might have missed otherwise. It's required listening for me and the chemistry between Matt, Jessamyn and Josh is always entertaining.
The hosts have a great rapport, and if you're a regular visitor to the site, they helpfully point out posts you may have missed, but which are definitely worth a look.
If you read MetaFilter, you'll enjoy hearing the hosts banter about their favorite items from the previous month. If you don't read MF, you owe it to yourself to check out one of the most interesting and intelligent sites on the Internet.
