Join Paula Poundstone, co-host Adam Felber and a long list of characters, real and imaginary, on Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone, a podcast taking the fun of a late-night show, the wit of a public radio show, and the knowledge of a guest expert while setting the volume to the max. Acerbic yet infectiously funny, Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone invites listeners into the audience of this absolutely ludicrous variety show, if they can follow along…or not.

And what was our favorite ninja turtle’s namesake really like? Professor and Michelangelo scholar William Wallace is here to enlighten us. Or, um, renaissance us. And then - you loved our chaotic maiden voyage, and now it’s time for the return of Paula’s Fact-Finding Fiesta!

Customer Reviews
I’ve loved the show for a long time, but…
I have to agree with others that I want to hear more of Paula and less of her cohorts. Bonnie is funny in short bursts but enough already with the singing. Sorry, but Toni is not as cute as she tries to be. She’s over 40, for heaven’s sake; enough with the ditzy young thing act. What is her actual role? Unclear.
My favorite podscast
When someone asks me what my go-to podcast is, I always say it’s NLTPP. I cackle, laugh, and giggle at every episode and am so thankful to Adam, Bonnie, Toni, & Paula for the constant laughs and dedication of keeping this podcast going.
Great Podcast
I love this podcast! So much so that I ordered my “I Am A Nobody” shirt and the podcast hat. Unfortunately, I received another “nobody”s order instead of my own!! 😢 No contact information on who to get in touch with to resolve the issue.
