For those of you getting sick of the Discovery podcasts, you should check out the “Pop Stuff” podcast they have and it till make you appreciate the professionalism and on-topicness of the other podcasts. “Pop Stuff” is just two higher-ups talking about going to movies or something. It doesn’t even sound like they have a script. Their producer (or whoever does their intro) sounds like Frankenstein. Ugh ugh ugh!
I agree. I prefer podcasts that are more informal and feel like a conversation rather than the more regimented McLaughlin Group type show.

NEXT ISSUE!
I love Radiolab’s production and I love Josh and Chuck’s banter. So screw all y’all.
Yo, I like you too and imma let you finish, but first we need to show off our new audio fader!
Yeah, I complain about it here, but it’s like complaining about friends that ramble… but if they suddenly started talking like they were using an outline, you’d think “Hey, I miss the friendly parts!”
And btw [ S N E A K B R A G ] I got to see Radiolab live, went exploring after the show, wound up in a hallway of dressing rooms, and met the guys (and Dave Foley, who’d been part of the show, doing Science Stand-up With F-Bombs).
Since then, I’ve wanted to tell people “I shook Jad Abumrad’s hand!” … but only one friend knew what I was talking about.
