“Some things in life are meant to be enjoyed slowly. There’s depth and nuance and deep humor in the subtleties that build over time and reward your long-term commitment. Podcasts are not one of those things - conversations between strangers crammed into 30 or 60 minutes with the same kind of...”Read full review »

“Cutting edge comedy, insanity, music, mirth and mayhem. The only podcast you need. Sadly it will end with 2013, but you can still play catch-up by downloading the old episodes.”

“If you took all of the laughs that this show creates and put them end to end, it would stretch to the moon and back. It doesn't matter that in space, no one can hear you laugh. You're in the promised zone.”

“Tom Scharpling has to be the best call-in show host currently on the radio (or in the podcasting world). He has a perfect sense of timing for his format and an amazing ability to talk extemporaneously on the deep cuts of pop culture - and make it hilarious. His calls with Jon Wurster are also my...”Read full review »

“While I enjoy many podcasts and their comedically talented hosts-- Tom Scharpling and this show may be the most meaningful and life-enriching piece of art I've ever consumed. Get deep into the backstories of Wurster's characters and the town of Newbridge. Feel richer for knowing them and be...”Read full review »

Not only is it the best comedy out there, but it is the only show out there with actual heart. I've actually cried during some of these episodes. Do you know...”Read full review »

Good, intelligent and quirky callers help - but it's only because Scharpling knows what to do with them.

“To get the most out of this show it's best to listen to it live, since it's really a radio show. Scharpling's show delivers comedy, music, movies, hilarious rants and deep pop culture references. Takes a few shows to get into the recurring callers and jokes so give it more than one shot.”
