The best comics podcast there is. Merlin and Dan always manage to somehow make their pop-culture ramblings great metaphors for productivity. If you want to know how The LEGO Movie is a great educational film on the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition, this podcast is for you. Actually, I think this podcast might be for you even if you don’t want to know.

If you're not in a good mood, listen to this podcast. If you have followed that advice, and still don't feel good, then I don't know.

Merlin gives his trademark tounge-in-cheek remarks on how to get things done, stop procrastinating and find that urge to see ideas come to fruition. Dan Benjamin keeps Merlin from straying too far off in his quiver of obscure and funny metaphors and represents the listener well in the way he frames his questions to have the topic explained further or re-framed for the audience.
