“I listen to a ton of political podcasts and this is my favorite. Ed had the best 3-4 minute explanation of why third party candidates can’t get a foothold in US politics that I’ve ever heard, and I’ve used it myself to look smart (without attribution!). Honestly I was thinking of restarting from...”Read full review »

“Terrific show by a very knowledgeable guy. Seems perfect for a bigger network like How Things Work, which I listen to a lot of. But I feel fortunate that this guy is available to us through his own goodwill. Excellent educator. Excellent story teller. Knows a lot of arcane and obscure things. But...”Read full review »

“This is my favorite podcast. It’s interesting and informative and doesn’t blather on and on the way many podcasts tend to. Also, gin cocktail recipes!”

“This podcast has it all, the best fake sponsor ads in all Podcastdom, weird historical trivia too crazy to be true, interviews with smart & interesting people and a gin cocktail recipe to top it all off.
We all need something to get us through this, Mass for Shut-In helps a great deal.”

“Ed always serves up interesting, funny, and smart content, and Mass for Shut Ins is no different. It's must-listen stuff. The only complaint I have is that I have to wait a month between episodes! It's changed my life, yada yada.”

“Exceedingly smart political commentary doused in sarcasm, wit, and disbelief in the current state of American culture. A depth of knowledge, and arcane, esoteric references you won’t find anywhere else!”

“OP is known for his other projects, which have a kind of biting distance attached to them. This is a more standard format - interview, story, 2 recurring bits - which also suits him well. Interview subjects and interviewing ability are both high quality, and the stories are top-notch. A+ would...”Read full review »

“The Gin and Tacos podcast made me into the person I am today: about 5'11'', smooth-chested, with a bit of a lisp. I can also usually palm a basketball. Thanks Gin and Tacos!”Read full review »

“I love the Facebook page and blog, so I had to give the podcast a listen. Ed is just as hilarious through this medium and he is on social media, but I think I learn a bit more through the podcast, which is great. I’m not a gin drinker, but I love the recipes segment of the show as well.”

“This podcast is only five episodes in, and it has quickly become a favorite. Ed Burmila has a gift for storytelling with humor, and is able to make even the most dry of political topics seem interesting and imminently relevant to the layperson. Also the musical interludes are dope.”

“I do not think I’d have survived the last couple years of American lunacy without Gin & Tacos, at least not with the tattered shreds of sanity I’ve managed to cling to.
