Key Facts
Reviews
- Stupid, Silly, Educational. Brilliant!
Regular podcast listeners might recognize Distraction! As the child of The Dollop and Everything Is Alive. More accurately it would be the bastard child of the two with a bit of Drunk History thrown in and all squeezed into ~30 minutes. Distraction! is silly, entertaining, and educational. It feels like I’m at a live comedy show with characters coming out of the woodwork while I’m learning about everyday things. This is now in my regular rotation.

United States5 years ago - Great improv podcast
Love this podcast! Definitely listen to a few episodes—they’re getting the jokes and timing down better every time. I hope they continue to record more!
Apple Podcasts5laura_lee_United States5 years ago - Good concept
I tried this podcast because I’m a listener of the Smiley Morning Show and Producer Will is always good for laughs. They seem to be improving already after only 4 episodes and a lot of the characters are hilarious.
