Feels contrived & 4 or 5 star ratings a bit fishy, heres what should of been done but wasnt...
This show is painfull to listen & lacks direction, both hosts do not need to try to be funny because when they do try, it results in EPIC LOLFAIL, having read all the comments and having seen all the 5 and 4 star ratings is rather fishy knowing full well this on average would get 1 or two stars this almost looks like itunes is being gamed by friends & ex-cowerkers of these two who want them to keep their jobs. Being an avid listener & subscriber to all of the TWIT family of podcasts ect. all I can tell you LEO is that this show needs to be redone, sure both hosts are good but their format needs to change if its going to survive! now for the constructive critiscism 1.) keep the hosts, there is nothing wrong with them just with how they do things. 2.) list of humor and fun things to discuss & agenda of things to do or cover live or blog about 3.) the hosts should not attempt to be funny, if anything when it comes to humor if they are reading about humorous news items or gadgets they should do this as STRAIGHT FACED as possible with the least amount of giggles or chortles as possible, sarcastic humor usually follows when they are not under the gun to be funny. 4.) Look at other similiar shows that got it right, ex: the Digg Reel, or if commentary is neccessary Maxximum exposureRead full review »

Sarah Lane and Martin Sargent team up to take a look at some fun stories from the week. This is the first time I've seen/heard their work, and I have to say, they are a great team. They have a lot of fun on the show, and most of the time, the show feels like two old friends just talking about...Read full review »

Apparently this show uses a novel definition of "fun". I listened to two full episodes and have concluded that "This week in boring and inane drivel" would be a better name. Honestly the hosts just go on and on and never manage to get to anything amusing. Avoid it like you might get a disease...Read full review »
