The Boy Howdy Podcast

I listen to this show while cleaning my apartment. It's freaking hilarious. Bill and Anne are smart as hell, and they talk about all my favorite stuff (adventure games, movie plot holes, cartoons, slow-cooked meat, gender politics, hot brunette ladies with big bulging muscles) and I'm only sad when the show doesn't go over two and a half hours because it means I don't have time to do a very good job, so there's still dust in my corners and grime on my bathtub. If you don't listen to this podcast, you have terrible taste in everything.

The Boy Howdy Podcast is a Pop Culture Podcast starring Bill Mudron, Portland area Artist, and Anne E. They cover everything from Comic Books, Video games, TV Movies and all sorts of Pop Culture. First thing is they are very Video Game centric, since both hosts are huge video gamers, at least compared to yours truly. They have been known to have panel shows discussing, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who and more. Since both has connections to the Portland, Oregon Comic Book Creative community, many Artists, Writers and others from that community show up as guests. The show tends to be between 90 minutes and 2 and a half hours. Longer shows have been known to drop in the feed. The show has an unrestrained exuberance and sense of glee. This is a weekly podcast.

As someone who enjoys longer form podcasts, I don't mind at all when they clock in at 2 or more hours... Lets face it, usually more. Like most good podcasts, Boy Howdy feels like just sitting in on two friends chat in an entertainig way. Even when they talk about things I don't really care about, they have a way to keep me interested. Plus I'm pretty sure one day Anne will assult Bill for one too many cans of soda opened. Highly reccomend for anyone looking for a good geeky podcast.

Each week, Bill & Anne deliver the most heartfelt podcast on gaming (and nerd-culture, vaguely defined). Like the best of all podcasts, they are honest with who they are as people and share at least a bit of their lives each week. The dynamic Portland duo's discussions about games, TV, and movies are especially top notch. When they recommend something to you it is because they genuinely love it and want to share their joy with you. I listen every week as I cook breakfast with my girlfriend and we both get a lot of fun out of it. My girlfriend would want you to know that they are not very good at warning people when they are about to spoil television that aired extremely recently (see GOT, Mad Men, etc.).
