Abort, Retry, Succeed?

This podcast could be damn near perfect with several changes:
1. Blaine Capatch writes all of the ad copy.
2. All rules are arbited by calling Posehn's babysitter and asking her to read from the Player's Handbook.

Chopped is the worst. It's a competitive cooking show designed to…

Shows that are smashes are smashes on broadcast TV! That's why "Smash" is such a smash!
