  • Stilted

    Their delivery of the information is awful. One might think they would get better after 50 or so episodes, but no. They are so stilted, it’s as if they are reading scripts they’ve never seen before, on a bumpy bus ride.

  • Informative and succinct with funny snippets

    Randy and Steve provide interesting information on comedy legions. They include brief autobiographical information and some clips to give you an idea of the humour and delivery of the featured comedians.

    Unlike many hosts who extend their podcasts with self ingratiation and apparently unscripted blather, these guys keep it succinct and focused.

    Give it a listen!
