    We’ve got Ben Franklin’s ghost on the show, sure, but do we really know what it’s like to walk a mile in his (tiny, shiny) shoes? A.J. Jacobs does, and he even wrote a book about it, “The Year of Living Constitutionally!” And if that isn’t your bag, you can make a new one - it’s T-shirt bag time in “Toni’s Craft Corner!”

Yay you’re back!!!!

I listen to every episode to my a k e sure Adam Felber is in each show. This madcap amazing and perfectly loony podcast. It is the funniest and best comedy podcast bar none, right, Mrs. coalpepper?

Perfection

Paula Poundstone is a genius and seasoned comedian who is hilarious beyond compare by virtue of years of experience and a lot of natural talent; one of the funniest humans alive. Her long time friend and manager Bonnie Burns who is hilarious beyond compare is also one of the funniest humans alive by virtue of the fact that she is Bonnie Burns. Toni is a master of crafts, and Adam is on EVERY SHOW! This show is truly a comedic masterpiece containing everything you could possibly want in a podcast save maybe Thomas Coyne.
