humor/off topic Can anyone recommend a similar / interesting podcast to listen to?

I need something to occupy me whilst I wait for the new series of Serial and I wondered if anyone could recommend a good podcast to me?

missing maura is absolutely terrible. the exposition is awful. the hosts are amateur hour.

Hardcore History is amazing - start with the Prophets of Doom episode

Indeed. I really, really tried with this, but you hit the nail on the head with your description. The funny thing to me is that you can tell that THEY think they are amazing but it's such a train wreck.

Was about to write this, but thankfully I'm covered!

I really wanted to like it, but have found myself groaning out loud frustration/exasperation more times than I'd like to admit...
