WNYC's Radio Lab

Wooooohooooooo!

Also, on a side note, I despise Le Show.

I find it very intermittently amusing which is why I don't listen to it all the time.  It's very Boomer-flavored humor and Harry Shearer can be awfully smug.

I know I heard the end of it the other day and he made his leaving joke and then he repeated it, both expecting it not to play with the audience initially but assuming this meant you just needed his genius repeated for you. Things like this assure me of his hypocracy as he has be trying to take down Car Talk for laughing at their own jokes.

My wife hates Le Show with a passion. She says all it consists of is Harry Shearer explaining the jokes to the audience before he tells them. He reads some bit of news, tells why it is absurd/funny, then makes a ten minute long, one-joke skit about it.

My only problem with Radio Lab is that there isn't enough of it. What a fun show!

So a buddy of mine and I (re)started a podcast. It's called Opening Weekend and we talk about how much money we think movies will make their opening weekend. Clever huh? I'd love for the fellow filmspotters to check it out.

The guy who narrates Classic Tales Podcast has an extremely annoying voice. But a great list, Ronan.  Thanks for the heads up on the Naxos podcast: is it long enough to make it worth hearing?
