One and a half earbuds!
I have been a long-time podcast listener, so i know very well how difficult it is to find the good stuff, and how important it is not to waste time listening to the bad stuff. When i heard of the “Pod on Pod” podcast from Josh & Chuck at “Stuff You Should Know”, i was intrigued. As it turned out, we shared a philosophy — to listen to at least three episodes before passing judgement. I downloaded five episodes the other day: the most recent episode reviewing a podcast i had never heard of before (“Modern Day Philosophers”), two episodes reviewing podcasts i love (“SYSK” and “WTF”), one episode reviewing a podcast i’ve subscribed to, turned away from, and returned to (“Doug Loves Movies”), and an episode reviewing a podcast i’ve never listened to despite its high ranking on iTunes (“The Joe Rogan Experience”). And i found that PoP speaks wisely, and speaks to me. They love what i love, they share my frustrations with “Doug Loves Movies” … and i know that i can trust their criticism of “The Joe Rogan Experience”. I have subscribed to “Pod on Pod” and i look forward to discovering more great podcasts through their hard work! One thing though: what’s with the “musical guest”? Seriously? What is it doing there? I skip it every time. That’s not what i’m there for. That’s time that could be better spent listening to Marc Maron’s monologue! (Seriously, folks, Maron’s personal babble-ogue at the beginning of each episode is the reason you will love him. Don’t skip it!)

What I do is listen to one episode of a podcast and then hate on it. One of the hosts (indescernible from each other, but meh I won’t give them time to develop personalities) is completely unlikeable, the other tries to be reasonable. They don’t describe the podcasts well, you’d never be able...Read full review »

Don't bother. Seriously, just talking smack...less entertaining than those drunk guys at the end of the bar. (They are sober.)
