Ted and Michael Read Sketches Into Microphones is a sketch comedy podcast hosted by two longtime friends: Ted O’Gorman and Michael Paul Smith. It’s produced by Michael’s wife; podcaster Gillian Pensavalle (The Hamilcast, True Crime Obsessed), and features the three of them, as well as Ted’s brother Mike O’Gorman (Vice Principals, A.P Bio) in every episode. The sketches are short and often bizarre, and the genuine affection that all the people involved have for each other permeates the material, and creates the show’s unique sensibility.

It's a NO

I just can't get into this one. Also speaks volumes that their latest episode focuses on Gillian.

Such a fun listen!

I’ve recently gotten to binge listen to the podcast from season 1 to season 4 and the amount of times I’ve belly laughed out loud is too many to count! Such a truly fun and quick listen! Perfect to get a little sunshine in your day.
