      <title>#100: The Chris Morris Music Show [Part A]</title>
      <description>Given the milestone, I decided to save the release of our best-of for the Chris Morris Music Show, my favorite radio show, for episode #100, but I never made it that far. It was never released, but it's now available on This Year's Internet Archive page.

The Chris Morris Music Show was an amazing radio show by the British satirist Chris Morris (also responsible for the previously mentioned Blue Jam, as well as the TV shows Brass Eye and The Day Today) broadcast in 1994. It combined Morris' wonderful musical taste with his acerbic and stunning humor, mixing sketches and monologs with songs by the likes of Portishead, Pavement, Nirvana, Lisa Germano, and all manner of other eclectic late 80s/early 90s artists. It was probably the greatest radio show ever conceived.

It ran for twenty-four episodes; I intended to produce three best-ofs for it, each covering eight episodes, but only ever mastered one; this one, episode #100, which covers the first eight episodes. Episodes #101 and #102 were to be parts two and three of the Chris Morris Music Show run. There's no voiceover or show credits from me in episode #100—I intended to record a separate introduction to be posted in the feed before it. Here it is, then; the final This Year episode ever produced! I hope you love Morris' work as much as I do.

      <title>#97: Security Now (2014) [Part B]</title>
      <description>Part B of This Year's best-of for the 2014 year of Security Now.

A whirlwind guide through the world of internet and computer security, Security Now is a rare beast: a tech-centered show that appeals to and can be enjoyed both by computer enthusiasts and strict pedestrian laymen. Hosted by Steve Gibson, the man who coined the term spyware and created the first anti-spyware program, creator of Spinrite and ShieldsUP, and veteran broadcaster Leo Laporte, the show addresses all kinds of security issues, both breaking news and long-standing problems, concerns, or solutions. Always informative and entertaining, it is impossible to leave Security Now without knowing much, much more about the internet than when you came in.

      <title>#96: Uhh Yeah Dude (2014)</title>
      <description>This Year's best-of for the 2014 year of Uhh Yeah Dude.

This is a podcast where two American Americans save America from herself. Seth Romatelli and Jonathan Larroquette round up the week's news, providing a forum for society to engage the most critical and divisive issues. Jonathan and his friend stop a street mugging. Jerry Seinfeld continues to do standup about mobile phones. A grown man's iPad is stolen, and his Instagram account is later hijacked by a young child. On Hollywood Game Night, a celebrity issues appallingly poor hints for the name 'Russell Crowe.' Domino's Pizza is a thing that continues to exist. Uhh Yeah Dude is social commentary at its finest—an unadulterated, unashamed look at real America.</description>

      <title>#95: Giant Bombcast (2014) [Part B]</title>
      <description>Part B of This Year's best-of for the 2014 year of the Giant Bombcast.

What is the Giant Bombcast? Humans with knowledge may stand before us, issuing us a response as plain as their faces: "Why, person with question, it is a podcast about video games." But is it really? A man fries egg shells under the belief he is cooking egg 'whites.' A Russian shortwave station blares in the background. A corporate face outlines the parameters for defining "the most extreme." Inquiries are raised regarding drinking water from a pool that has human excrement in it. Tears are almost shed over the current absence of Syphon Filter. Australians use emails as a proxy for fighting a civil war. Jeff has decided he'd like to see Lucy. What is the most disappointing game? What does one do if their father is named Dwayne Johnson? Should we respect Super Mario Sunshine? These questions and non-questions are raised here in this block of text, but you can only hope to find resolution if you listen to this twelve-hour compilation of one of the greatest podcasts of all time: the Giant Bombcast.</description>

      <title>#93: Loveline (Second Quarter 2002)</title>
      <description>Few syndicated radio shows have permeated popular culture and achieved as great a standing as Loveline. Launched in 1983 and still running today, Loveline likely ranks as the foremost sexual health and relationship advice show. The show ballooned in popularity between 1996 and 2005 when it was hosted by Adam Carolla and Drew Pinsky, comedian and board certified physician respectively. Loveline’s ability to be comedic, somber, and at times touching made it some of the most striking radio on air, and even its oldest episodes remain remarkable today. </description>

      <description>Why do we do the things we do? Mike Williams searches for the extraordinary and hidden histories behind everyday objects and actions to inform us about the way we live in the 21st Century. All manner of topics are considered, from the slightly unnerving, like fear, horror folklore, and bullets, to the seemingly mundane, like cigarettes, neck ties, and the drum. Creative, punchy, and thought-provoking, The Why Factor goads you into scrutinizing every aspect of modern life. (Description adapted from the show's official website.)</description>

Creative, punchy, and thought-provoking, The Why Factor goads you into scrutinizing every aspect of modern life. (Description adapted from the show's official website.)</itunes:summary>

      <title>#91: Political Gabfest (2013)</title>
      <description>Slate’s political commentators David Plotz, John Dickerson, and Emily Bazelon cover the week’s major political topics. The trio, who began the show in 2007, gab back and forth about domestic and international issues, turning out a show that is always entertaining and usually insightful. Topics in the 2013 year included the NSA and government spying, drones, gun control, marijuana, Syria, drones, and the government shutdown. When it comes to political podcasts, the Political Gabfest must surely be at the very top.</description>

      <title>#90: This American Life (101 to 125)</title>
      <description>Here’s what This American Life is not: it’s not a news show or a talk show or a call-in show. It’s not formatted like other radio shows. Each episode has a theme, and there are a variety of productions on that theme. There are people in dramatic situations. Things happen to them. There are funny moments and emotional moments and—hopefully—moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun.

      <title>#89: Hang Up and Listen (2013)</title>
      <description>Hang Up and Listen is no regular sports podcast. Not just focusing on the week's scores, not just focusing on the recent events in the NFL or the NBA, Slate's take on sports talk is something resembling a breath of fresh air: a show about both mainstream and obscure sports; about personal stories and fun asides. Hosts Josh Levin, Stefan Fatsis, and Mike Pesca discuss dodgeball, baseball in the Dominican Republic, concussions suffered by NFL players, the soccer World Cup, the radio station WFAN, and kids games, among plenty of other things. Of Hang Up and Listen we need say only one thing: it is eminently listenable. That is the ultimate compliment for a podcast, and it is one this show surely deserves. </description>

      <title>#88: Good Grief/Oddcast (2009)
</title>
      <description>Good Grief emerged from the remains of 1UP.com in early 2009 after much of the staff there had left of their own volition or had been cut loose. But it was not at all a substandard affair: led by Tina Sanchez and starring Sam Kennedy, Scott Sharkey, and newcomer Chris Plante, the show dished up a fresh-feeling irreverent (sometimes irrelevant), zany, highly random look at the world of video games culture. By the end of 2009, the podcast dropped the Good Grief name and was rebranded the Oddcast. Often overlooked, and quite wrongly so, Good Grief/the Oddcast was a gem—a show with plenty of heart (and plenty of snide).</description>

      <description>The staff of Planet Money gave themselves a lofty goal from the outset—make economics and business not only interesting, but fun. They have achieved that goal, and by some measure. Through analyzing strange or outlandish topics not usually the domain of the stuff economy broadcast, the cast of Planet Money deliver canny and insightful analysis of the ruler of the world: money. This best-of highlights such topics as manufacture in North Korea, reviewing products on Amazon.com, working mothers in Japan, currency rules in Myanmar, and podcast patent trolls. </description>

      <description>This is a podcast where two American Americans save America from herself. Seth Romatelli and Jonathan Larroquette round up the week's news, providing a forum for society to engage the most critical and divisive issues. What would women do if they had a penis for a day? Presidential candidate John McCain says "cunt" on live television. Doc Ellis recounts throwing a no-hitter while tripping on LSD. Andy Rooney complains about coffee being $1.50. A pervert watches a woman in her apartment building and then leaves a letter penned to her on her stoop. DMX doesn't know who presidential candidate Barack Obama is. Bling stickers. Uhh Yeah Dude is social commentary at its finest—an unadulterated, unashamed look at real America. </description>

      <description>Few syndicated radio shows have permeated popular culture and achieved as great a standing as Loveline. Launched in 1983 and still running today, Loveline likely ranks as the foremost sexual health and relationship advice show. The show ballooned in popularity between 1996 and 2005 when it was hosted by Adam Carolla and Drew Pinsky, comedian and board certified physician respectively. Loveline’s ability to be comedic, somber, and at times touching made it some of the most striking radio on air, and even its oldest episodes remain remarkable today.</description>

Always informative and entertaining, it is impossible to leave Security Now without knowing much, much more about the internet than when you came in.

Hosted by Steve Gibson, the man who coined the term spyware and created the first anti-spyware program, creator of Spinrite and ShieldsUP, and veteran broadcaster Leo Laporte, the show addresses all kinds of security issues, both breaking news and long-standing problems, concerns, or solutions. Always informative and entertaining, it is impossible to leave Security Now without knowing much, much more about the internet than when you came in.

      <title>#80: Behind the Dish (2013 Season)</title>
      <description>Behind the Dish is a crisp, modern, and forward-thinking look at the world of baseball. A sport as old as this is laden with falsehoods that can (and perhaps should) be described simply as mysticism. At the forefront of the charge against such appeals to ignorance is Keith Law, a seasoned baseball writer and burgeoning pop culture critic. He delivers an insightful show that addresses the game's most heated issues—from steroid use to sabermetrics and beyond.</description>

      <title>#79: Loveline (First Quarter 2000)</title>
      <description>Few syndicated radio shows have permeated popular culture and achieved as great a standing as Loveline. Launched in 1983 and still running today, Loveline likely ranks as the foremost sexual health and relationship advice show. The show ballooned in popularity between 1996 and 2005 when it was hosted by Adam Carolla and Drew Pinsky, comedian and board certified physician respectively. Loveline’s ability to be comedic, somber, and at times touching made it some of the most striking radio on air, and even its oldest episodes remain remarkable today.</description>

      <title>#75: Giant Bombcast (2013) [Part B]
</title>
      <description>To say the Giant Bombcast is just about games is to lie, and lie brazenly. Reviews on Yelp get analyzed. Italian nationals find themselves being vomited on. Iceland is penetrated by an intrepid reporter with hair on his head and face. Pneumatic tubes are things that exist. Cake is violated. And where may one find a good, reasonably priced grill? Sprinkled between that is talk of games: musings on the Electronic Triple, on Divisions, and on racist depictions of Italian plumbers. The death of beloved host Ryan Davis put a tremendous damper on the show's proceedings; the years of this terrific program—2013 included—along with the site's other wealth of content serve as a testament to his brilliance and his outstanding character. He gave us a superb work that still continues: the Giant Bombcast, an eclectic and unbeatable grab bag of talk that never fails to entertain.</description>

The death of beloved host Ryan Davis put a tremendous damper on the show's proceedings; the years of this terrific program—2013 included—along with the site's other wealth of content serve as a testament to his brilliance and his outstanding character. He gave us a superb work that still continues: the Giant Bombcast, an eclectic and unbeatable grab bag of talk that never fails to entertain.</itunes:summary>

      <title>#74: This American Life (#76 to #100)</title>
      <description>Here’s what This American Life is not: it’s not a news show or a talk show or a call-in show. It’s not formatted like other radio shows. Each episode has a theme, and there are a variety of productions on that theme. There are people in dramatic situations. Things happen to them. There are funny moments and emotional moments and—hopefully—moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun.

      <title>#73: Blue Jam (Series 3)</title>
      <description>Blue Jam is a nightmare that seems to have no end. The series was the brainchild of subversive British satirist Chris Morris. Morris mixed ambient music, haunting monologues, bleak black comedy sketches, and other bizarre sounds to make a lingering sound-scape that sticks with you days and weeks after listening. The first series of Blue Jam was aired in 1997, played in the early morning on BBC Radio 1. One segment was deemed so offensive that it was hurriedly cut off mid-broadcast. Blue Jam is troubling. Blue Jam is disturbing. Blue Jam is unlike anything you’ll ever hear—a dark descent into something totally oppressive and undeniably wonderful.</description>

      <title>#71: Loveline (Second Quarter 2000)</title>
      <description>Few syndicated radio shows have permeated popular culture and achieved as great a standing as Loveline. Launched in 1983 and still running today, Loveline likely ranks as the foremost sexual health and relationship advice show. The show ballooned in popularity between 1996 and 2005 when it was hosted by Adam Carolla and Drew Pinsky, comedian and board certified physician respectively. Loveline’s ability to be comedic, somber, and at times touching made it some of the most striking radio on air, and even its oldest episodes remain remarkable today.</description>

      <title>#70: Effectively Wild (2012 Season)</title>
      <description>A daily sport, especially one as dense (and often inscrutable) as baseball, would seem to require a daily podcast; at the forefront, far and away eclipsing any other mainstream discussion of baseball, is Effectively Wild, Baseball Prospectus' daily half-hour broadcast. Analysts Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller maintain an informed and often humorous repartee, mixing legitimate, fact-based talk with off-topic light-hearted banter about crickets, cricket, the construction of benches, and baseball cards. A whirlwind tour through the realm of baseball, Effectively Wild is unmissable and unbeatable—an essential companion for any baseball fan who seeks a greater understanding of the sport.</description>

      <title>#68: Retronauts (2008)</title>
      <description>Retronauts was part of the 1UP Network's expansion into podcasting in 2006, appearing alongside popular shows like GFW Radio and 1UP Yours. As dreary as host Jeremy Parish liked to suggest it might be—he termed it 1UP's only podcast "for old people"—the podcast was anything but. Though it might not have been as bombastic as its sister programs, Retronauts was in fact just as entertaining, thought-provoking and, more often than not, funny. A well researched, informative journey through video game history, Retronauts was a podcast of inestimable value: not only a rare thing—a history podcast that never bored—but an important aural vade mecum of the games so many people love today.</description>

Seth Romatelli and Jonathan Larroquette round up the week's news, providing a forum for society to engage the most critical and divisive issues. A football player reneges on his promise to give a fan a Super Bowl ticket. A crazy woman is found in a Whole Foods. A fertility clinic implants the wrong sperm, resulting in the wrong baby. Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Signs in China, erected in preparation for the Beijing Olympics, employ confusing English. A man makes it rain at PETCO Park, only to be summarily ejected from the premises. Uhh Yeah Dude is social commentary at its finest—an unadulterated, unashamed look at real America.</description>

      <description>Few syndicated radio shows have permeated popular culture and achieved as great a standing as Loveline.

Loveline’s ability to be comedic, somber, and at times touching made it some of the most striking radio on air, and even its oldest episodes remain remarkable today.</description>

      <title>#S5: Ryan Davis Memorial Summer Jams</title>
      <description>Thanks for all the feedback on our original memorial for Ryan, featuring highlights from his time on The HotSpot and the Giant Bombcast. We said then that we were cutting together a version of the memorial that would be infused with Summer Jam songs.

I think it easily rates amongst the best things we've put together. I hope you enjoy it.

      <title>#S5: Ryan Davis Memorial</title>
      <description>Ryan Davis will go down as one of the greatest podcasters in history. He was a consummate host, an exceptional humorist, and a more than upstanding individual. He chalked up eight years behind a microphone (2005-2013), three spent as a supporting member on The HotSpot, and five spent as host of the Giant Bombcast, the longest running and most popular mainstream gaming podcast. With his passing we have lost one of the most charming and talented performers in the gaming media. We take a look back at his greatest moments, from his early days on The HotSpot to his last days on the Giant Bombcast.</description>

      <title>#62: Blue Jam (Series 2)</title>
      <description>Blue Jam is a nightmare that seems to have no end. The series was the brainchild of subversive British satirist Chris Morris. Morris mixed ambient music, haunting monologues, bleak black comedy sketches, and other bizarre sounds to make a lingering sound-scape that sticks with you days and weeks after listening. The first series of Blue Jam was aired in 1997, played in the early morning on BBC Radio 1. One segment was deemed so offensive that it was hurriedly cut off mid-broadcast. Blue Jam is troubling. Blue Jam is disturbing. Blue Jam is unlike anything you’ll ever hear—a dark descent into something totally oppressive and undeniably wonderful.</description>

      <title>#61: Retronauts (2007)</title>
      <description>Retronauts was part of the 1UP Network's expansion into podcasting in 2006, appearing alongside popular shows like GFW Radio and 1UP Yours. As dreary as host Jeremy Parish liked to suggest it might be—he termed it 1UP's only podcast "for old people"—the podcast was anything but. Though it might not have been as bombastic as its sister programs, Retronauts was in fact just as entertaining, thought-provoking and, more often than not, funny. A well researched, informative journey through video game history, Retronauts was a podcast of inestimable value: not only a rare thing—a history podcast that never bored—but an important aural vade mecum of the games so many people love today.</description>

      <title>#60: Too Beautiful to Live (Third Quarter 2008) [Part B]</title>
      <description>Too Beautiful to Live is the ultimate foray into pop culture—a blithe examination of what’s awesome and what isn’t, what’s in and out, what matters and what doesn’t, and what stands as the gem-iest web gem. In between analyzing important matters like Soulja Boy's "Crank That," the ESPYs, broken dog tails, proms, pimp conventions, and the song of the summer, hosts Luke Burbank and Jen Andrews candidly discuss their own lives. Something between ‘a show about nothing,’ and ‘the voice of American hipster zeitgeist,’ TBTL is funny, endearing, and beloved: a show that will never leave your heart and mind upon getting its foot in the door.</description>

      <title>#53: Too Beautiful to Live (Second Quarter 2008) [Part C]</title>
      <description>Too Beautiful to Live is the ultimate foray into pop culture—a blithe examination of what’s awesome and what isn’t, what’s in and out, what matters and what doesn’t, and what stands as the gem-iest web gem. In between analyzing important matters like MTV’s Rock the Cradle, My Super Sweet 16, R. Kelly’s trial, Ross Dress for Less and the song of the summer, hosts Luke Burbank and Jen Andrews candidly discuss their own lives. Something between ‘a show about nothing,’ and ‘the voice of American hipster zeitgeist,’ TBTL is funny, endearing, and beloved: a show that will never leave your heart and mind upon getting its foot in the door.</description>

      <title>#52: This American Life (51 to 75)</title>
      <description>Here’s what This American Life is not: it’s not a news show or a talk show or a call-in show. It’s not formatted like other radio shows. Each episode has a theme, and there are a variety of productions on that theme. There are people in dramatic situations. Things happen to them. There are funny moments and emotional moments and—hopefully—moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun.</description>

      <title>#51: Loveline (2001-Q4)</title>
      <description>Few syndicated radio shows have permeated popular culture and achieved as great a standing as Loveline. Launched in 1983 and still running today, Loveline likely ranks as the foremost sexual health and relationship advice show. The show ballooned in popularity between 1996 and 2005 when it was hosted by Adam Carolla and Drew Pinsky, comedian and board certified physician respectively. Loveline’s ability to be comedic, somber, and at times touching made it some of the most striking radio on air, and even its oldest episodes remain remarkable today.</description>

      <title>#50: Blue Jam (Series 1)</title>
      <description>Blue Jam is a nightmare that seems to have no end. The series was the brainchild of subversive British satirist Chris Morris. Morris mixed ambient music, haunting monologues, bleak black comedy sketches, and other bizarre sounds to make a lingering sound-scape that sticks with you days and weeks after listening. The first series of Blue Jam was aired in 1997, played in the early morning on BBC Radio 1. One segment was deemed so offensive that it was hurriedly cut off mid-broadcast. Blue Jam is troubling. Blue Jam is disturbing. Blue Jam is unlike anything you’ll ever hear—a dark descent into something totally oppressive and undeniably wonderful.</description>

      <title>#45: Giant Bombcast (2012) [Part B]</title>
      <description>The Giant Bombcast is a gaming podcast, but the games aren't really important. Jeff and Ryan lament the state of franchise pizza restaurants in Petaluma. Vinny develops an interest in ham radio and becomes a father. Brad needs a new bed. Patrick does jukebox trolling at a bar. Above all that, Jeff tunes into clandestine radio broadcasts. Make no mistake, there's talk about games—namely, the hate some of the cast has for NiGHTS into Dreams and Jak 2—but there's also talk about jumping into swimming pools full of food, Storage Wars, Antiques Roadshow, space catapults, parking, and men named Chris that drive white cars. This is the Giant Bombcast: an eclectic and unbeatable grab bag of talk that never fails to entertain. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the buzzer buzzes...</description>

      <title>#44: The Adam Carolla Show (December 2006) [Part B]</title>
      <description>In 2005, Adam Carolla left his storied position at Loveline to do morning radio. Born from that was The Adam Carolla Show, a four-hour drive time talk show that was funny, entertaining, and informative. In the last month of 2006, the cast searched for a new black intern after the departure of the beloved Jaron, Adam and Dave continued betting on NFL games, and at the very end the cast recapped the year. It was a great year of radio—albeit one that ended somewhat tragically with key members of the show being fired—and 2006 year of The Adam Carolla Show must surely go down as one of the greatest morning radio runs ever.</description>

      <description>In 2005, Adam Carolla left his storied position at Loveline to do morning radio. Born from that was The Adam Carolla Show, a four-hour drive time talk show that was funny, entertaining, and informative. November 2006 was one of the show's greatest months, with in-fighting between the staff, the show's typical funny segments, and plenty of marquee guests. Al Gore, Andy Dick and Joel McHale featured, and Adam eviscerated attorney Gloria Allred over the phone for what he deemed to be her opportunistic behavior. Somebody on the staff was anonymously writing disparaging things about the show online, and the crew brought in a lie detector to flush the mole out. With only one month before a wave of layoffs hit the show, The Adam Carolla Show was at its best.</description>

Adam and Dave kept betting on NFL games, and crew discussed 80s music, under-appreciated music, people who leave peanut butter jars open, and childhood. Ozzie continued with his movie reviews, Carolla reunited with the crazy David Arquette, and show lackey Big Tad threw a tantrum after being called out for his poor work ethic.

      <title>#41: Loveline (2001-Q3)</title>
      <description>Few syndicated radio shows have permeated popular culture and achieved as great a standing as Loveline. Launched in 1983 and still running today, Loveline likely ranks as the foremost sexual health and relationship advice show. The show ballooned in popularity between 1996 and 2005 when it was hosted by Adam Carolla and Drew Pinsky, comedian and board certified physician respectively. Loveline’s ability to be comedic, somber, and at times touching made it some of the most striking radio on air, and even its oldest episodes remain remarkable today.

      <title>#40: Giant Bombcast (2010)</title>
      <description>It's unclear whether the Giant Bombcast has ever really been about video games. It ostensibly should be—it is a podcast produced by a video game website, starring a number of individuals that make a living as video game critics—but that doesn't account for the discussion of pizza, helicopters, Swatch Internet Time (or 'beat time'), and Kid Rock. Nevertheless, video game players will find the Bombcast informative: included within is an exhaustive and potent segment where the cast discuss the latest releases for Nintendo's WiiWare and DSiWare, two critically acclaimed online-only platforms recognized for providing the cutting edge in video game software. Stocked with an illegal amount of humor, the Giant Bombcast is among the longest running gaming podcasts, and among the most superior.

      <description>After appearing on a variety of national sports talk shows, including several at ESPN, Dave Dameshek took his mind and soul to the corridors of the NFL Network. The Dave Dameshek Football Program subsequently debuted in 2011, ostensibly a show about football, but really a humorous show about everything, branded with Dameshek's trademark humor and his quip-happy sidekick Adam Rank. Packed with discussion about Boston sports fans, the Rocky movies, Roger Clemens, Rocky Bleier, along with celebrity interviews, The Dave Dameshek Football Program is a unique sports show that can be enjoyed by fans and non-fans of football alike.</description>

      <description>The Adam Carolla Show continued its fine run in the second half of 2006. Adam put up $10,000 of his own money for anybody that could book a better guest than show booker Mike August. The cast continued their human interest tack, interviewing Peggy, the 500lbs woman, and Sarah, the seventy-five-year-old meth addict. Adam and Dave interviewed news girl Teresa’s ex-boyfriends, and after a request by listeners Adam retold some old childhood stories. Always entertaining and enjoyable, The Adam Carolla Show’s September month is a Carolla classic.</description>

There are funny moments and emotional moments and—hopefully—moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun.

Each episode has a theme, and there are a variety of productions on that theme. There are people in dramatic situations. Things happen to them. There are funny moments and emotional moments and—hopefully—moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun.

      <title>#31: The Penn Jillette Radio Show (First Quarter 2006)</title>
      <description>Penn Jillette, the talking half of the Penn &amp; Teller magician duo, launched The Penn Jillette Show in 2006 under CBS Radio’s FREE FM banner (alongside The Adam Carolla Show). Co-hosting with his friend Michael Goudeau, Jillette advocated the use of his show as a marketplace for ideas, talking about significant civic and social issues that few other mainstream radio shows would dare touch. The result was a funny and informative program, perfectly suited for this era in this ever-changing world in which we live in.</description>

      <title>#30: On the Media (2011)</title>
      <description>While maintaining the civility and fairness that are the hallmarks of public radio, On the Media tackles sticky issues with a frankness and transparency that has built trust with listeners and led to more than a tripling of its audience in five years.

      <title>#29: Giant Bombcast (2009)</title>
      <description>In 2009 the Giant Bombcast began to resemble the show it is today, as segments were fleshed out and the show took on a longer format. New releases were brought into the fold, and the cast of four no longer guarded their propensity to go off-topic and talk about drinks, food, and movies. The product was a show The New Yorker called “charmingly garrulous,” packed with irreverent humor and occasionally serious discussion. The Giant Bombcast is ‘100% entertainment’ at its finest.</description>

Whether complaining about society's ills, lambasting inane public service announcements, cracking wise about the topics of the day, or earnestly trying to help better the lives of his callers, Adam Carolla was always at the top of his game. Helmed by one of the greatest improvisational comics of our time, this morning radio show remains great twelve years after the fact.</description>

Ostensibly a show about computer games, GFW Radio never pigeonholed itself in that niche, instead becoming a program that flowed between topics and moods, a show at the absolute top of its game whether mocking the internet’s peculiar dwellers or gravely exposing the sickly nature of gaming “journalism.” Very few—perhaps none—have been as eminent and brilliant as GFW Radio.</description>

      <description>Few syndicated radio shows have permeated popular culture and achieved as great a standing as Loveline. Launched in 1983 and still running today, Loveline likely ranks as the foremost sexual health and relationship advice show. The show ballooned in popularity between 1996 and 2005 when it was hosted by Adam Carolla and Drew Pinsky, comedian and board certified physician respectively. Loveline’s ability to be comedic, somber, and at times touching made it some of the most striking radio on air, and even its oldest episodes remain remarkable today.</description>

      <title>#20: The Adam Carolla Show (June 2006) [Part C]</title>
      <description>The Adam Carolla Show’s normal cadence was broken in June 2006 when Adam’s wife Lynette gave birth to their two twins. With Adam out of action for a short period of time, his sidekick Jimmy Kimmel stepped in to host the show to high acclaim—perhaps too high for Adam’s liking. Funny, entertaining, and provocative, Carolla’s morning radio show never fails to entertain, even five years after the fact.

      <description>The Adam Carolla Show’s fine run continued in May 2006, as the show’s style, characters, and personalities became cemented, and the Teresa Strasser was hired as the newsgirl. New bits were introduced, old bits were ironed out, and the staff settled in with each other (sometimes to bad—but comedic—results). Behind the three main voices was a reliably funny, entertaining, and topical show unlike any other on air.

      <description>Authentically funny comedy podcasts are a rarity. Authentically funny comedy podcasts that are scripted are even more unique. Daves of Thunder was both: a show about two Daves—Dave Dameshek and David Feeney—that revolved around their lives and their supposed friendship.
