Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I second, PCHH. Also West Wing Weekly, Who? Weekly (for serious celebrity snark), Lore, and, not to seem totally frivolous, CBCs Ideas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, not Brenda but, the thing with the president's tailors was the last segment on Invisibilia the clothing episode (I JUST listened to it this morning).
Cool, thanks.
Other podcasts: Another Round, Double X, Code Switch, Extra Hot Great, Making the Sausage. That last one is interviews with people in all different aspects of the TV industry, and is generally fascinating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Man, more podcasts I will never manage to keep up on. But good to know they are out there! I am Marking this discussion for later reference in case I should find myself able to listen to a whole bunch of stuff.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Five Thirty Eight nearly gave me a heart attack last week when Trump's projected chances of winning eclipsed Clinton's. I like 2-to-1 odds much better, though I'd rather have 20-to-1 or 200-to-1.
I think some of what's happening is that without a field of multiple fellow candidates to contend with over the nomination, Trump can't confine himself to just attacking disliked politicians the public considers fair game and is going after people that they can identify with. Basically, if you mock and insult Ted Cruz you anger Ted Cruz and maybe Heidi; mocking and insulting the grieving parents of a soldier who died in combat puts you in Westboro Baptist Church territory and people aren't able to ignore it so well anymore.

So many podcasts! I am ignoring all suggestions as I already can't keep up with my subscriptions.

I am unwisely subscribing to some, even though I am so behind on so many and I have so little room on my phone! I did have two six hour car rides this weekend, so I've made some room!

The current now-cast is making me laugh and laugh. I'm starting to wonder if Trump can go into negative numbers on the now-cast.

Our wings are not tired.
He is certainly giving it his best shot this week.

I used to joke -- and it really was a joke -- that when Dubya was in office, he could eat a baby on live TV and the media would just say "See how he loves the children!"
I am now waiting for Trump to EAT A BABY. And it's only *mostly* a joke.
