A great replacement for actual friendship!

“I was a big fan of Bleep Bloop and Nerd Alert (R.I.P), and so when I heard a rumour that Jeff Rubin may be hosting The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show, I was excited. The rumour turned out to be true, to my delight. Jeff's ability to modulate his voice is outstanding, and this is key in podcast making. I normally listen to podcasts either whilst on a treadmill, or when trying to sleep, and so I need a great voice to block out the pain of running, or the fearful hate of darkness. Jeff's cheerful tone does this perfectly, irrespective of the content of his words! I listened to him talk for like an hour about pizza, and I didn't get even get bored.
By coincidence (and a happy one at that), the podcast is full of quality, interesting content. Conversations are based around various topics, usually with a nerdy cult edge, and Jeff is joined most weeks by a guest either in that field, or from the College Humour stable. Jeff Rubin proves himself to be an excellent choice as host, by clearly showing both a deep knowledge of Jeff Rubin's interests, and displaying a natural conversational tone when talking to Jeff Rubin's friends and colleagues.
In many respects the podcast acts as a great replacement for actual friendship, as you will get invited back next week even if you just sit in the corner, crying in silence. In fact, and this is possibly a downside, as attempts to join in the conversation usually have little impact, with Jeff Rubin and his guest(s) continuing to talk over you as if you had said nothing. To be fair, I have only tried joining in whilst listening on my iPod, an iPhone user may have more luck.
I also have a slight concern regarding the longevity of the podcast, with Jeff Rubin playing such a central role, I struggle to see exactly what the succession plan would be, and so I would be surprised to see The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show still going strong by the turn of the next century. Still, worth enjoying it whilst it lasts.”Read full review »
