    Also, ridiculous seeing people giving Nova shit for not well acquainted with popular culture. Who cares? Such an internet nerd thing, to judge people by what films and TV they can check off as having seen. If she was doing a hipster snooty deal of looking down at mainstream media that'd be one thing, but she seemed fine with everyone making fun of her for not knowing stuff. I really enjoyed hearing Howard getting excited by her disinterest in movies

    I really enjoyed Armen's run. Would I want him on all the time? Nope, but it made an entertaining change. I found him a likeable guy, and it seems as if the people he's friends with do too. If anything that feels like his problem, a bit (and here I go projecting on someone I don't actually know). It seems like he doesn't like to commit to what he's saying or doing, for fear of getting judged, and people let him get away with it because they like him. That's what made the Besser episode so funny, he was repeatedly calling him on his shit instead of letting it go. It's a shame Armen was apparently genuinely upset by that, but hopefully in the long run it toughens him up a bit. It didn't feel like bullying to me. I don't know if Armen was more upset at being publicly shamed than at what Besser was saying to him. Still I also kind of hope he doesn't change too much as he's a funny guy

    engineer dustin was an engineer at Earwolf for some time before leaving and starting competing podcast network feral audio

    Is it really competition when everyone's giving their stuff away for free anyway? I did find the slam funny though

     

    Oh and pretty much everything else everyone said in the rest of the two hours, obvz

    I don't think they are quite THAT derided over here. And part of that has to do with 9/11, and how All That You Can't Leave Behind captured the spirit of 'recovery' after that event.

    Yeah I'd agree, the impression I've always had in Britain is that they're seen as a bit cheesy and "dad music" but they're still very popular and are considered big deal rock stars. Bono as an individual is more of a punchline, but again there's still a lot of people who like him

    I'd put off listening to this one, was wary as

    (1) I've only ever listened to a handful of Best Shows, I enjoyed it but felt overwhelmed by how much more of it there was.

    (2) I only know Daniel Ralston from that time earlier this year when he misunderstood one of Scott Aukerman's tweets and started calling him a misogynist.

     

    But I did enjoy this episode, and I've made a secret New Year's resolution to start going into the WFMU archives.

     

     

    I guess I finally GOT THE MEMO

    I have played D&D, I do care about D&D, and if I started a podcast about D&D I would totally expect to get some shit off people for it. A bit of lighthearted mocking from another comedian is, I'd have thought, the least of their worries.

     

    Shelby is great, I like her mix of quick-wittedness and dopeyness. SUFFRA-GET CITY.

     

    Also hearing Scott and Kulap together always fills me with glee.
