I have had so much fun writing for you this year, I wanted to get you a little something. It’s not much. Just a couple of podcasts I think you’ll really like. (It’s hard to send anything really big through the Internet.) So here you go, I hope you’ll love them as much as I do.
The Bugle – a satirical news show featuring John Oliver of the Daily Show with his friend Andy Zaltzman. Andy operates from the U.K., which adds a nice international flair to the weekly podcast. They have me in stitches on a regular basis. I hope you’ll join us. There’s also a blog.
Risk! – a collection of truth-telling that will make you laugh, snort, gasp and/or cry, depending on the people you know and how you normally spend your time. Kevin Allison, who I know of from The State, is in charge of this operation and narrates the podcast. I became a fan quickly.
That’s it! They are both free (at this time) on iTunes, so download to your heart’s content and donate to the creators if you love them. I hope they make you smile. Happy holidays!
This reminds me of how I try to pack more and more events into the limited time I seem to have in my day, or how I try to fit into those clothes from college… and how, when I somehow succeed at these painfully futile tasks, what do I do next? I start the process over again.
But at least I’m cute. Enjoy a laugh at the cute one’s expense.
Can’t wait for the Superbowl — the best new commercials of the year are supposed to debut next Sunday — what is going to be next? Last year’s Careerbuilder chimps are still playing out their time on the small screen here and there, and they still get a chuckle. Anything else you remember from last year? Here’s some animals auditioning for this year’s beer messages.
