I think Podmass is controversial because I haven't been able to find any other sites (admittedly, haven't really looked) that regularly cover/review podcasts.  I don't scream about something not getting covered in the comments or when something is listed as "The Rest", but I will cop to being disappointed when I find

I just don't think that's how people with money think.  Admittedly I'm not a person with money though.

At this point, The Simpsons is the realized version of Sideshow Bob stepping on the rake; becoming funny, unfunny, then funny again on a continuous loop.

Tasha Robinson actually recommended the series a while back on the Reasonable Discussions podcast, so I went out and read the books.  They are great and get better and bigger as the series moves along.  I think Kaufman can find a creative way to make the noise work on film

I think the SXSW was the best of what the podcast can be.  Also Pete's Kumail impression kills me for some reason.  The latest "in front of a live studio audience" episode was good, but I didn't like how they were begging the audience to laugh.

I thought it was the best one on one podcast ol' Petey has done to date (maybe Maron).

Springtucky PEW PEW!!

I'm glad you told me that.

You give bad advice

I read the first book before season 1 started and tried to plow into the second one, but gave up half way through.  I think the show is a way better medium because the interplay happens in minutes instead of pages.  I liked the structure of the books, but if you start to get bored with one of the plot lines, entire
