    200 - Finale

    All good things must come to an end. After 8+ years, the time has finally arrived to hang up the podcasting gear on this ranking journey. Over the years, we have laughed, cried, passionately yelled at each other, and came together to rank numerous glorious Top 5 lists. In this final episode, the A-Team (Tuong La, Angus MacDonald, Samantha Leggatt, & Leslie Cserepy) reminisce on the humble beginnings of the show, go through our favourite moments, hear from an all-star lineup of past guests, talk about what topics we would have done if this show kept going, and of course rank some shit (because obviously). We want to thank everyone for joining Tuong La and all of our guests on this insane rollercoaster of a podcast where we ranked everything from the obscure, serious, thought provoking, delicious, silly, and most random topics we could think of. It was never about the lists (they literally don't matter as the podcast title implies). It was all about building community, having interesting conversations, and coming together on a thing while having a whole heck of a lot of fun along the way. So with that said, we are beyond proud of what we achieved with Ranked. So thank you for listening to Ranked: Top 5 Lists of Stuff That Don't Matter and for being part of this special thing. See you around the PodCavern. PS If you didn't like or agree with any of our past Top 5 lists, in the holy words of the Mayor of the PodCavern Leslie Cserepy....Fuck you The post 200 – Finale appeared first on PodCavern.

    199 - Top 5 Runners Up

    To all the ones who came in second. People have been wondering what we could possibly rank for our penultimate episode of this show. Well our answer is it's time to uplift the unsung heroes. The ones that almost got their time in the sun and spotlight but never quite went the distance. They are the almost-winners, the bridesmaid but never the bride, the silver medalist. And so just like this being the second last episode, it's time to bring in the second place team in all of Ranked as that was only fitting to tackle this very topic. Join the B-Team Laura Gordon, Sarah MacDonald, Bradley Sales, and Leslie Cserepy as they lock Tuong in a box and embrace the glory that they finally deserve while ranking Top 5 Runners Up.

    198 - The Ranky Roulette: Second Spin

    Time to SPIN THAT WHEEEEL! Back in 2021, in the thick of the pandemic, when we were all going a little stir crazy and desperately clinging to any ways to have human connection, an idea was born. From the rubble of boredom and the craving to do something new came an ambitious Top 5 improv-style game show called The Ranky Roulette. The show was a great success, and the plan was to do it once every single year with new guests, custom SFX, and bigger productions. Alas, things didn't work out that way, but as we near the end of this show, we would be remiss not to give this format another spin! So join your game show host Tuong La and comeback contestants Angus MacDonald, Samantha Leggatt, and Leslie Cserepy as they get another crack at showing off their ranking skills to be crowned the next "Ranky Ruler of the Realm"! Also featuring guest audio clips from past ranking legends: Chelsea Fahey, Brie Watson (The Constant Struggle Podcast), and Simone Dorie.

    All you need is love...and Top 5 rankings. We have made a Top 5 list of many songs over the course of this show and it is bittersweet that this episode will be our last music ranking. That is why we decided to go out with a bang and bring back Beatlemania for this occasion! The Beatles literally changed the game and the way we listen to music today. Who knew that the music industry would have transformed so much from 4 Lads from Liverpool but this influential band continues to inspire artists all around the world. So join Tuong La with the rest of the members of the Fab Four Katie Pagnucco (Learn Real Good), Vinny Francois (Improv College & Learn Real Good, Untapped Libraries), and Howard Mitnick (Gateway Music) as they rock out in their moptop hairdos and rank Top 5 Beatles Songs.
