Benefits to Chicago:

Boilerplate interview with an improviser > Tom Scharpling doing Every Topic Ever on his show.

THE BEST SHOW DOZEN WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO COMPLAIN

I feel like no one is watching this show, but it's such a good distillation of Chicago's comedy style at their sketch/improv theaters. Not a big focus on game like at UCB, just exploring characters joyfully.

The Best Show dozen are here to say the new comment platform sucks as much as your True Crime recommendations.

Let's make this clear Podmass, every time you don't mention The Best Show a very fervent dozen of us will be mad.

The pep talks Tom gives over The Final Bell from the Rocky soundtrack are funnier than 99% of podcasts and actually inspiring. I listen to the Rocky soundtrack pretty regularly now because of it.

The Best Show did a Sun Kil Moon parody last summer, and did it better.
