Sadly Departed

One of the best podcasts ever; now history.

This WAS my favorite podcast. Always new and fresh -- and entertaining. Professionally done and consistent go without saying as it was a product of the New York Times. Sadly, the last episode was the last podcast of 2011.

J.D. and Pedro, I miss you. Please twist the appropriate arms there at NYT.
