About 14 months ago I found Sklarbro Country on itunes, and that lead me to discover the other great shows on earwolf. Who Charted? CBB, How did this Get Made? are all fantastic - and I've had a blast trolling the archives ... But no other show on earwolf had the "must listen" quality to me than that of the Challenge. Definately the 2 best entries lasted the longest - so I think you guys got it right. Personally thought Dum Dum was the best - but really Totally Laime is very engaging, and was a very good choice.
Season 2 is a must - Matt Besser did an excellent job as host/judge - love the rotating celebrity judges -
For Season 2 - How about a tournament style - 16 podcasts - 2 go head to head each week - full episodes (45 minutes-ish) of original programming - kinda like this week's shows went - Monday/Tuesday is a brief review of what has happened, who we are listening to - Podcast 1 on Monday, Podcast 2 on Tuesday - Wednesday is judgement This will give you 15 weeks of programming - start it in January end in April - just when the NCAA tournament is garnering all the media attention - Earwolf Madness is also running wild!!
