You're all invited to a sleepover
You know the golden hour at about 2 a.m. when you and your pals have been laughing and shrieking at each other all night, after a day spent being rowdy while window shopping and ordering every appetizer on the menu, and your voice is hoarse and your stomach hurts from how hard you've been laughing (and also possibly how many mozzarella sticks you've eaten), and you are all draped around each other in a blanket pile and you know you should go to sleep but you're filled with a warm glow of love and fellowship and the knowledge that you can Get Weird about the things you love in front of these people and they will still think you're wonderful?

Pros: Insightful commentary about a sport I love sprinkled with game analysis and appreciation of my favorite dreamy hockey players. Genuinely the funniest podcast I've ever listened to. Cons: Solely responsible for making me care about the Washington Capitals, which isn't something I, a...Read full review »
