  • The podcast for TV/pop culture buffs

    What “How Did This Get Made” is to crappy and forgotten films, IWATOT is to equally forgotten (but not necessarily crappy) television shows. Mike, Greg and Chico recap the lesser-known of the tube (back when it was called that) in their inimitable fashion.

  • Too loud!

    They really need to adjust their sound. There is one guy on the podcast whose voice drowns out everybody else’s. He sounds like he’s trying to be weird Al.
