    I enjoy this podcast & its critiques & and give it 4 stars, as it’s the only one taking on the subject.

    That said, I also think that the tv personality/ upper class douche who is it’s sole focus is such a see-through, hypocritical narcissist that focusing on: his age, possible dentures, weed use, sexuality (and mediocre joke writers) often feels like it’s cheapening the larger point- but it’s still appreciated.

    ….Also, 1st ever reference to the book ‘roadside picnic’ I’ve ever heard in a podc... more

  • Never Heard of Bill Maher until I Heard Of Will Weldon. Thanks?

    I caught you on “A Bit Fruity” & liked your personality. Knowing nothing about Bill Maher I found it fascinating to listening to the episodes chronicle this pathetic idiot’s saga via his stupid TV show; that people actually watch-on purpose, by choice. It’s a whole other world out there…

    ANYWAYS.

    This podcast presents to you an awareness of people like Bill that exist & influence aimless insecure white Americans all while being funded by HBO (seriously HBO? pathetic.) Will, you’re a nut, keep... more

  • if you like a good hate watch, you’ve come to the right place.

    My first hate watch type podcast I listened to was “The West Wing Thing” and Dave from that podcast would often squirm like a slug who had salt thrown on it when they mentioned Bill Mayer in person. I’m in Australia, so this show wasn’t really on anywhere regularly, maybe cable tv ? But like Will has said, everyone has heard of Bill somewhere . I also remeber being somewhat into the new atheism stuff and seeing the trainer for his religious movie but never caught the whole thing. I remember seei... more
