It's because 1) a guest's appearance and/or headshot have no bearing upon their performance in an audio medium so it is at best a meaningless thing to remark upon, and 2) observations (whether negative or positive) about a guest's physical appearance tend to happen disproportionately more often when that guest is a female.

Look, I don't want to be That Guy, but I just got engaged to Marlo Thomas

Is anyone else unable to play podcasts through the howl.fm desktop site? Everything works fine on my Android app, but I've been trying to play podcasts on howl.fm all day to no avail; I log in to my account, but anytime I click on play I just get the 'Howl Premium' pop-up asking me to start a free trial of Howl Premium, even though I'm already a subscriber.

Episode 406 in the news: http://mentalfloss.com/article/76706/pair-young-nyc-siblings-have-started-their-own-detective-agency

...

Boy, Comedy Bang Bang has a high body count in 2016. . .

Lost amid the confusion and chaos around a fresh Plugs Theme and its inadvertent recording as an opening rather than closing theme is the sad news that now Jesse "The Mind, the Body and Soul" Ventura may remain trapped in the old plug bag forever.

A fantastic year of CBB, but I sorely missed James Adomian in 2015. After being a huge part of the previous few years, he was severely underrepresented in comparison. My one wish for 2016 is for more Tom Leykis, Paul Giamatti, Jesse Ventura and Merrill Shindler!

Wow, Thomas Middleditch makes his CBB debut this year, and made the Best Of for each one of his appearances. All well deserved too - Silicon Valley P-cast was my personal favorite of the year, but I forgot how great Kid Detectives was.

I feel like this is dead on. There's no mythology and no backstory for hosts to go over and listeners to catch up on, but Gabrus has in my opinion one of the quickest and sharpest comedic minds in the world. It's also the reason why Gino is (rightfully) a fan favorite but hasn't made a CBB BotY yet - he can be deployed when you may not have murderer's row of guests, but he can single-handedly carry the show in a lower key way.

When you want something less wacky than AMC's original dramas:

Dude, that was a seriously impressive Tom Waits growl. I dug it.

Awesome ep. 1.2 out of 10.

It was a real PFTease.

Great list, and I really appreciated the glimpse behind the episodes during the countdown. I definitely agree with everyone that's a bit disappointed in the lack of Gino. The other thing that really struck me was was the complete lack of James Adomian on the list. Not really a surprise - he's been on a lot less and the appearances he has made haven't been his most memorable IMO - but still kind of surreal to see no Adomian at all.

He's a great ghost, with a groovy dick!

Makes me wonder if Coco Marx is part Australian. . .

"Technicality no down boo over," backwards masked and sped up 600%.

With the increasing instances of guests breaking out into short song snippets, It feels like we're inching incrementally closer to that all-singing episode of Bing Bong to finally happen, and I can't wait til we hit that event horizon.
