i like radiolab and stuff and similar podcasts but sometimes i'm just like "omg white people" when i hear them. like the podcast risk is cool sometimes but other times it's just annoying because of all the silly white people stories when they are all like "and then i went to see my therapist about my gay feelings for my personal trainer." omfg please stop talking you silly white people

I stopped listening for pretty much the same reasoning. It was the controversy around the Yellow Rain episode that turned me off totally.

3 pages and no one has mentioned Snap Judgement? That show is pretty baller, but I rarely listen to it because it's on Saturday afternoon. Maybe it's just a regional show?

Totally forgot about that! I actually really loved that podcast. It seemed genuine, at least at the time. Good stuff.
