This podcast was extremely educational for me, as I'm working on developing my own podcast. Listening to the challenges and hearing all the guest judge's and Matt's perspectives has been phenomenal, and I'm really looking forward to season 2. I was mildly disappointed that, after listening to the first challenge, I thought that Totally Laime would end up winning and I was right. In an ideal world, there would be 10 challengers, all of which would have the hooks and show to win. I know that this will always be a very subjective thing, but from the start they just felt more professionally put together than the others, and I remember thinking, if I have to guess, that Totally Laime will take the entire thing. That said, I think this was a complete success. Hearing Matt Besser pontificate was priceless, and I'm very glad that Earwolf did this. Season 2 ahead!

I just listened to the podcast, and I'm particularly unhappy about how openly supportive the judges were of Totally Laime. Yes, I get that they're not a sketch podcast, but Elizabeth bills herself as a writer, says she's done it for years, and yet the sketch was easily the worst of the six, in my opinion. I say that because it just felt lazy. There weren't really jokes, just puns that any teenage boy could make. The Little Dum Dums aren't a sketch podcast either, nor do they make any claim to being writers, and yet they were able to submit a podcast that was in the top 3 (Left Handed, great job this week, by the way!) Matt Besser was so apologetic for them that I felt immediately like there was an ulterior motive in place, and I'm sure there wasn't, and yes, they're funny and all that. But for such a lame (not Laime) submission, they should've been chastised. Matt has taken other podcasts to task before, and he should've done the same for them. I'm torn on whether or not they should have been eliminated, because I admit, they do a good job. They don't rely on sketch. But if I was a judge, and the other two were torn between the Fort and Laime, which would I have chosen? As someone listening, I know that I haven't liked the Fort's submissions before. But as a judge who heard just those two submissions..... I think Laime would've gone in a fair assessment.
