If you're picturing the guy from Good Eats rambling entertainingly about the finer points of gastronomy, you wouldn't be wrong.
I've enjoyed his podcast so far. Of course, it helps when he has iron chefs on as guests. I never thought I'd learn about owning race horses from Bobby Flay on a podcast. [Reply]

The episode on southern cooking, and biscuits in particular, had me awash in waves of nostalgia. My grandma made the best biscuits I ever ate, and that's not just nepotism. We would go down there on holidays and strangers [often, to me] and family members would drop in at the crack of dawn, some just happened to be around [and she lived in rural, RURAL, LA] some were on a road trip and swung by. Everyone made a concerted effort to get there when her biscuits would be coming out of the oven. Made about 3-4 dozen every morning. Nothing to document the process but her hands and her brain. Honey, real butter, Johnny's Sorghum, Paw-paw [southern tree fruit that had the consistency of a real big raisin or a mango, looked like a brown lemon with a tangerine-like skin, you can pick them green or assorted shades of yellow but brown is the best, and a flavor somewhere between apple butter and spiced bourbon] jelly.

Leaving the BILLIONAIRE Entertainment Demi-Goddess who gave the Emmy Award Winning Comic leeway to generate humor and raise a loving family because he wasn't 'growing' at a proper rate?
ACS: Carolla and Mohr with Mohr playing 'Big Mama,' waaaayy funnier than Jo Koy's obstructionist PF Chang's Maitre d'. [Though it was HILARIOUS to hear Pardo mock Jo Koy's bit premises on Todd Glass Show].
BTW - has anyone checked out 'Getting Doug with High' Basically Doug Benson bringing in celebs to smoke up and chat for a bit while altered on the internet. Haven't seen it yet, but thinking about it. [Reply]
Described as 'A Prairie Home Companion' as written by Stephen King, it's a fake newscast covering local events, that skew to dark humor and dark horror at a moment's notice. Riffs on every imaginable conspiracy theory. A little Art Bell, a little X-files, a little Affirmation Nation with Bob Ducca.
Don't believe me, check the reviews in itunes.
If you don't have time for the entire podcast [episodes are only about 20min each], rummage through Night Vale Weather;
Adomian is back on The Todd Glass Show, and it is GLORIOUS.
Absolutely no structure, just Todd goading him into a mess of bits, riffing on ridiculous songs [Sinatra's Bim Bam Baby, Clarence Carter's Strokin,' a couple of songs that are hilarious in their own right], shuffling through his characters.
I'm in tears from laughing at 'Merrill Schindler' singing to The Charleston. [Reply]

I've been catching up on Nerdists so I'm behind on AB. Explain please. [Reply]
