#1 with a bullet is WTF with Marc Maron. Especially for a top-shelf interviewer such as yourself.

Although I prefer vinal, a cd wallet seems better. Jewel cases are the worst and always break.

I'm not sure I know what a CD wallet is.

I recommend the podcast of my show...but then, *I would*.

I'm also a big fan of "Stuff You Should Know" (which was very briefly on the station...)

I agree with Greg from Bloomfield
WTF with Marc MAron is very interesting/funny, he interviews comics, musicians, directors, writers, actors, etc..

Podcasts like WTF and the audio from Maher's Real Time are great in the kitchen but you got to be careful with the dirty words when the kids are around.

Is a CD wallet the cardboard/heavy paper thing? I like them.

Thanks all - I have no problem w/ dirty words, my kid has heard em all. I've been enjoying Freakonomics.

My packaging preference is the digipak, ideally with a booklet insert. I don't mind the jewel case but I really dislike the cd wallet since it involves grabbing a cd and getting fingerprints on it. Those wallets tend to be flimsy with no easily readable spine.

Oh, my kids don't mind the dirty words either. It's my wife who hears them and then gives me the stink eye.

Very good. I'm not that familiar with the Womack history, or Sam Cooke. Learning stuff is fun.

Saw Muscle Shoals doc. last night. What a story there. The ending got a little schmaltzy, but I buy into the idea that its a special place.

From Womack to country-cheese in just 2 songs.
That's a high wire act.

I've seen the links for the Pono that are posted. Man, I'm not selling any, got nothing to gain here, but that thing sounds GREAT! Of course, if you listen through crappy Apple Buds, may not make a difference, but I'm really happy with it. YMMV, of course.

Stevel: it was meant to be complementary, but like a high wire act there is a moment when your heart stops a beat and you wonder if it will end in disaster, all the while pulling for the daredevil.

Cal Zone!:

Great to hear Rochester NY/Brighton High School's own Sam Elwitt bangin out the Baby Blue!

Queens L. Bow:

"Sunflower" is an under-rated BB album...the songs are really diverse since all the members wrote songs for it (esp. Dennis). I used to play "It's About Time" for friends & have them guess who it was...no one ever did. A great if un-BB-like track.

"Shut Down" is a bit like Elvis' "Little Sister" I just noticed.
