  • Only as good as the guest

    I would say I really love Will Weldon’s personality and insights and I like how thoroughly they go through Maher’s shows (and I will be joining the Patreon as well) but man, if there’s a bad guest on the show, it DRAGS. Likewise, if there’s a really great guest, I never want it to end.

  • Yes!

But I have recommended this t... more

  • Will's show is simply the most consistently funny podcast that I've found and it's not even close. I don't understand why it isn't more popular.
