The most enjoyable podcast

Such a love for comedy in this podcast delivers. What a great job. Love the behind-the-scenes looks at how comedians create, mold and develop jokes.

Stop Counting

Please stop counting your episodes. Probably half are repeats. They were so proud of their 100th episode and it's ridiculous. They still haven't reached a 100, because there are SO MANY repeats.
