All the responses here have been thoughtful and, as far as I can tell, inoffensive. I expect that things aren't quite so contemplative on other social platforms - namely, Twitter - which probably explains Scott's concerns. It really ought to be a non-issue, as it's clear that some of the show's 'best' guests (in my opinion and, evidently, that of many others) are women. In fact, if it wasn't for my absolute dedication to Tim Heidecker, Andy Daly and Paul F. Tompkins, I'd say that Poehler and St. Clair were tied for top spot. Anyway, it seems absurd to complain. I have to remind myself that when I criticise a CBB it isn't relative to normal standards, but to past episodes which are - quite literally - among my favourite entertainment 'things' of any medium. It really isn't fair to hold up every weekly release to standards set by Wipeout or Highly Illogical because I think those are every bit as valuable as Beck's Odelay, Byron's Don Juan or Woody 'Jesus!' Allen's Manhattan. I don't mean to gush, but the podcast medium's so underrated and the balance will only be redressed with tedious, obsequious sincerity.

Well, there are certainly very few comedians who could continue to recycle characters at that rate and remain interesting. In my opinion, PFT - by means of linguistic mastery and interminable vivacity - is one such talent. There's a depth to his creations, a weird dimensionality, which allows them to long outlast their anticipated shelf-life. Having said that, I doubt whether even one of his classic characters could sustain an audience's attention twice in the space of a month (as Pamela Murphy's has had to do). Anyway, if any character's getting a bit worn it's that 'Scott' guy Jeff Ulrich plays every week.

Let's not let this discussion get out of hand! I'd sooner see femininity subjected to centuries of subjugation than risk losing a CBB episode with Dame Sir Andrew or Mr. Marshall.

Scottauk.

I'll be enjoying an anecdote, or just following along, and then suddenly visualise the scenario: diapers, nudity, a spirit bear clawing off dicks, phallic space boats... Boy, do I laugh!

Penises Abounding was, appropriately enough, a big satchel of dicks. I might be wrong, but I think that was the only episode this year I wouldn't give an overall thumbs-up to. All in all, the show is astounding consistent. Jock Rockerman is the best host since SQUARESPACE! JUST TYPE IN THAT PROMOTIONAL CODE 'HOTDOG', THAT'S H-O-T-D-O-G, AND THEY'LL MEET ALL YOUR WEBSITE NEEDS*! *I don't think I'm flirting with danger by advertising the show's sponsor, but if anyone's feeling litigious I'll get all the legal help I need OVER AT LEGALZOOM.COM!

STEPHEN!

That's true, it is a kind of 'insider' episode. But if you 'get it' then nothing's better (which is also how I feel about Tim Heidecker's appearances).

Can't quite believe this didn't grab top spot. I kind of feel attached to it just because it brings Scott to the fore.

Love Thomas Lennon, not a big fan of Little Gary; wouldn't miss him.

Agreed. I still think Highly Illogical is one of the greatest CBB episodes of all time. Granted, I'm a huge Heidecker fan, but that double dose of Daly really boosted it into legendary territory. Not to mention Reggie's outstanding musical contribution.

Time Zazzu.

Midweek bonus episode with my favourite guest, Tim Heidecker? Talk about an unexpected boon! Thank you, our intrepid host, Dravv Limwinut.

MY BRIDE!

Boy-o-boy, I'd plotz!

The first great episode since 'Highly Illogical'. Loved it, loved it a lot.

Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim have already appeared on the show (the former a few times), so I'm pretty much satisfied. Will Forte would be nice, though.
