Why hasn't filmspotting been in the top 10 before this?

We really need to get SUBWAY to sponsor the forum.  Maybe give each of us a footlong every week. :)

Fantastic. It's my favorite Podcast, for sure. But it does have some stiff competition these days.

The question is, which presenter is which?

Heard good things about 'This American Life'. Can anybody recommend it.

I'm off and on with it. Some episodes are truly brilliant (finding out why Van Halen demanded a bowl of M&Ms with the brown ones removed and how it was actually quite rational) while others can be a bit dull.

Because they wanted to see if the local group would actually read the rest of their contract that had a lot of requirements about electrical outlets, staging and safety features.  The M&Ms were the canary to see if they actually fulfilled the contract.

I love this American Life.  Very rarely is there a dud.  Their podcasts on the healthcare crisis and the economic crisis are some the best they've done. Even my children love it, although I have to be careful about which ones I let them listen to.
