  • The Literally Comedy Hour

    Long time listener, first time commenter. I'm enjoying these summertime compilation episodes, but please balance your levels! These interview segments are unusually quiet, and then the music leading into an ad, as well as the ad itself, are super loud. Loudest of all is the announcer at the very end. Beyond that, keep up the good work!

    I couldn’t get through a single episode and I tried many. Literally, a waste of time.

Rob is so sincere, genuinely interested, self-effacing and LITERALLY earnest! I always knew he had a sense of humor, but had no idea what an appreciator he was. Tuned in when I read that Andrew McCarthy had been a guest. But, the breadth of guests… Rob makes me think. He makes me feel. He makes me feel laugh out lo... more
