    Long time listener. I started listening back at the beginning of Pretty Spooky and have loved listening to all the other shows on the network. Love the research and the guest hosts, and of course Adam is a great host!

  • Farewell Tour PT. 2 might be the finest retrospective/clip show ever documented. More touching than a graduation ceremony set to Green Day's Good Riddance

  • Used to be Great

    This show used to be great. Topical, informative, and funny. Now it’s just somewhat informative. Nothing you couldn’t get elsewhere better.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Don't Even Like Documentaries - The Hobby: Tales From the Tabletop
Q: Have you ever entered the World Series of Board Games? If not, do you plan to at any point?
I have been as a special guest but haven't competed because I know it would make me overly competitive and I don't want to be that guy.
You Don't Even Like Documentaries - The Hobby: Tales From the Tabletop
Q: What got you into the hobby? Was there a particular game that was a tipping point for you?
I was in a family that played games growing up, but really got into it again around 2015 when Shane Moss started hosting game nights and inviting other comedians.
The Road To Venezuela Pt. 2 - Crisis In Venezuela (WITW March 2017)
Q: What is the impact of the U.S. on the situation in Venezuela?
U.S. companies may be intentionally causing shortages as they do not want the current regime in power because it is not beholden to U.S. interests.
The Road To Venezuela Pt. 2 - Crisis In Venezuela (WITW March 2017)
Q: How do you feel currently about the situation in Venezuela?
It is dangerous for me to go back there, and the income inequality is significant, making certain families targets for kidnappers, including mine.
The Monday Show - No Fatties In the Military
Q: What do we think? Is the government still shut down by the time this episode goes up?
It feels like the government shuts down every 18 months now, and it's hard to tell what's really happening anymore.
