The hots are engaging and the topics often interesting. Not every topic thrills, but they don't belabor the point; it's a good length.

Interesting, well-produced, and thoughtful.

Funny, informative, interesting... the radio show will end soon but there are decades of back episodes to listen to.

Nerdy and brilliant.

It's hard to imagine that an audio podcast about objects would make such compelling listening, but it works astonishingly well. The host makes penetrating insights about an astonishing array of objects. The discussion about the importance and relevance of the objects is more interesting than actually seeing them (though it's great to go to the web site and look at a photo as well).

Savage is hilarious, the questions outrageous, and the advice insightful.

It's got short, accurate, interesting introductions to current science news. Perhaps a little hammy at times, but always entertaining.

It's incredibly funny and beautifully produced. It's sixty seconds of hilarity, every time.

Skeptoid is interesting, well-produced, and diverse. It's thoughtful and entertaining.

I don't agree with everything Dunning says (I think he misunderstands some of his critics, who are often wrong but perhaps not as dumb as he's making out, and I think he totally chickened out on his climate change podcast) but overall it's an excellent, insightful show.

It's cute, funny, and clever. The characters are pleasant and quirky, without being rude or mean, as is so popular on sit-coms. I haven't enjoyed any comedy this much in years.

Great place: inexpensive and very tasty.

The best sushi in Laurel (not saying much). The Korean dishes are more interesting.

The best fine dining in Laurel (not that it's got a lot of competition). Great atmosphere, interesting menu.

A broad selection, even by Chinese buffet standards.

Unusual flavors for a barbecue joint, but I really like it.
