  • Should be a weekly podcast

    Editing out all those juicy bits takes a full week? Perhaps a monthly bloopers episode for your most devoted patrons could quench our thirst for behind-the-scenes hilarity? more

  • Love this podcast

    Great show. It’s serious and absurd and informative and entertaining and also a bit degenerative—which is to say it’s perfect.

  • Calling it in

    Dave and Tamler are great to listen to but they seem to be putting less effort into the show and choosing low hanging fruit to cover. I would rather hear more episodes that are in depth discussions, instead of surface level readings of books or movies. I also feel that the podcast has become shorter over time. Longer and more in depth discussions would be an improvement.
