Podcasting has a relatively low barrier to entry, requires little equipment, has low startup costs, and can be a fun way to get your voice, stories, and ideas out into the world. Consider this guide your personal podcasting roadmap!

Love this podcast! It's not for everyone as some of the humor is dry, and the hosts have quick wits. I find it hilarious though. So many "funny" people are so obvious today. These hosts are clever, smart funny. Interesting, diverse guests and conversations. Wonderful repartee. Makes me wish we were all friends having dinner

Interesting and funny

What a great surprise!’ I usually listen to Howard Stern, but I felt his show is getting played out and boring guest since Covid 19. I loved the show arrested development and gave this a listen. Great chemistry and Will Arnet is hilarious. Love these guys.

Best radio show

Oklahoma listener.... not just Wisconsin! Could genuinely use two episodes a week. Even the ads are hilarious. I sent the manscaping “jingle balls” ad to friends because it’s just too perfect. Three idiots that are smart way deep down, and make me laugh out loud in the car.

Side note, my four year old and sixteen month old laugh and dance to the theme song every time it comes on. Family fun, guys.

Yes

Awesome in so many respects! Hillarious hosts who are great company and interesting and fun high profile guests.

This is such a fun and feel good show!

This podcast always feels like I’m eavesdropping on three people having a conversation with someone while sipping coffee or tea in someone’s kitchen or patio. So fun! A welcome treat in this pandemic where 99% of media are obsessed with negatively slanting events and highlighting mostly the downside and not even mentioning wins and gains.

The Trio and George were a welcome treat

Best podcast, hands down. It’s just a fun to listen to the three of them banter, as the conversation with the mystery guest.

Love these three so much!

Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett are amazingly funny. I even love the hokey theme song that takes me back to growing up when the AV kit on wheels was brought into the classroom for an educational film. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me laugh until my sides ache!

3 of the Funniest Humans keeping me sane!

One of the 3 hosts has a surprise guest every week. The early guests were friends of the hosts and as they added more guests they were people that at least 2 of the hosts were not close. They crack wise with very intelligent questions added in. Science, the arts, politics and entertainment industry are all covered. Low information right wingers may want to skip a few of the podcasts.

Highly Recommend! Very entertaining!

Great interview! I think I've seen almost everything he's done. Bryan Cranston is an incredible actor.

Love it!
