This podcast is amazing. Adam Clarke is the funniest human being on the planet and Beth holds down the show so well. I actually stumbled upon this podcast before MST3K... Which I know is weird, but I'm a podcast junkie. Listening to this show made me start watching the show. It's like going to rehab and then developing an alcohol problem afterwards. NEED MORE EPISODES. MUCH LIKEY.
Really fun and accessable

This is a really good podcast to listen to- the hosts sound really at ease and the music really fits the topic. The show notes are really handy as well.
Great pod!

Hilarious hosts with great banter and fun tangents. Worth listening to even if your a MST3K neophyte like me.
