Do you like celebrities, musicals, and the persistent weed of the internet that are Reddit stories? Boy do we have the episode for you. Tag along with Sam and Honor plus special guest and 4 times speed netflix watcher, Marissa, as they dive into the best pods around. Sam’s bringing SmartLess, a celebrity interview podcast hosted by known funny men, Will Arnet and Jason Bateman, as well as actor Sean Hayes who Sam is told is also famous. Honor’s talking about musical podcast 36 Questions, which she assures us is a real thing. Plus Marissa exposes the gang to the beauty of Two Hot Takes, a show that nominally exists to give people advice, but ultimately thrives off the joy of finding out that other people are crazier than you. Perhaps the most diverse list of pods we’ve had on, you're bound to find something you like or join Sam in raging at. All that plus toxic relationships, whether musicals are just plays, Hugh Grant impressions, poop knives, and more!!!

This is the pod for you! Edge of Sleep is a successful, crazy podcast, and Sam and Honor have wildly different feelings on how good it is. Join in as they argue over whether this pod is actually good, and if it needs more elephants, whales, sleep demons, or convenient plot holes. Buckle in, this one is strange!

This the episode, the gang is accompanied by the one, the only, Genny!!! Although Sam introduces her as a 20 foot tall giant robot, she’s in fact a very funny podhead herself! She brings on beloved advice show Dear Hank and John, by the Green brothers of Internet fame. While Genny dives into her nostalgic pod, Sam tries to be a gal-ly and figure out why Call Her Daddy is the number one podcast among women. And naturally Honor chats about audio drama Where The Stars Fell, which sounds so wild, it almost loops back around to making sense. All this and more on today’s episode of Podpodcastcast!

It’s definitely not a good podcast, but it still might be entertaining.

This episode, join Honor and Sam as they try to uncover the secrets of the universe like how does AI work, how long is a long podcast, and most importantly, is the famous sci-fi audio drama Wolf 359 actually good. It's got a high bar as Podpodcastcast's first ever 5/5, and there's some contention over whether it quite makes it over that line.

Sam and Honor make a triumphant return to the studio in this episode featuring comedy, Conan, D&D, worldbuilding, birds, and entirely too much Jimmy Stewart. Friend of the show, Claire, comes on to stop mom and dad from fighting and to claim that the Dungeons and Dragons podcast The Adventure Zone, made by the McElroy Brothers, from My Brother, My Brother and Me, is the “greatest story ever told.” Honor brings a hard to describe, hyper immersive audio drama Birds of Empire, which contains overflowing myths and lush soundscapes and absolutely not enough birds.

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers make an appearance as Sam's musical comedy celebrity dream crushes, Honor pulls out the unmemorably named Wolf 359 and claims it this the best pod they've reviewed so far, and Elizabeth puts on her academic cap and takes a long drag off her thinking pipe, as she dives into the beautiful anthropology of folklore and otherwise engaging tales from Lore. This ep is so jammed we don't even have time to tell you about what happened to Steve Jobs, why Sam can't play Lonely Island in the car, or when Elizabeth will release the worm song!! You'll just have to tune into find out!

The Magnus Archives is one of the most popular horror podcasts of all time, and in today's cautionary tale Honor has somehow convinced her good friend Sam, a noted coward, to listen to its sequel, The Magnus Protocol. However the only thing that terrifies Sam is how bad this pod is. Oh, you heard that right, this one's about to get heated!! Join Sam and Honor as they get into it over whether the podcast is a total stinker! What is Honor's secret plan?! Why can't Sam stand the British?! Will they ever reconcile their differences?! Find out on this episode of Podpodcastcast!

It's the D&D episode!!! It was only a matter of time until Sam and Honor succumbed to the temptation to gush over pods about their shared hobby of uber-nerd table top game Dungeons and Dragons. Turns out goblin lord and paperwork-as-game fanatic Vanir was the ultimate catalyst they needed in order to dive deep into the world's most popular roleplaying game. Join the crew as they talk about the wonderful ways that worlds of orcs and elves are brought to life by some of the very best podcasts. Tag along as we explore the scene, from the hugely popular Dimension 20, to the lesser known but very charming Rolling With Difficulty. Sam will also talk about D&D is for Nerds, the mythic D&D pod that you can finish in less than a billion hours! Get out your pocket protector and your twenty-sided die because this one is about to get nerdy 🤓

It's true crime time listeners!!! Join Honor and Sam as they dive deep into Serial, the godfather of podcasts. Even though Sam and Honor aren't big true crime kids, they have so many thoughts on Sarah Koenig's award winning pod, currently produced by the New York Times. This review, they have some things they love, and some things they just can't get past. But will they fall in love with true crime? Will they make it through the three other seasons no one talks about? Will Honor ever make it out of the van she's recording in?! All this and more on this episode of Podpodcastcast!!!

This episode the crew is joined by Ash, an excellent podcaster in their own right, who's trying to bring some professionalism, business, and freaks to the pod. Become enraged as Sam talks out of order about the fantastic NPR podcast Planet Money, and how he won't shut up about economics. Get genuinely interested by Ash's podcast, The Dream, a investigative pod about scams with a weird final turn. Fall ill with ball-fever as Honor waxes poetic about sports and Go! My Favorite Sports Team, another pod by famed youtube buffoon Markiplier. Tune in as Ash, through sheer force of will, makes the ep good this time!!

Welcome back for another book club episode with Sam and Honor! The crew is talking Midnight Burger, an episodic sci-fi fiction pod about a late night diner that crisscrosses the cosmos through time and dimension, righting wrongs and being goofy. It's a good pod (spoilers) so this is an extra long ep, because our delightful hosts won't shut up. So strap in as our heroes gush over the character work and voice acting, argue over what is appropriate pod listening behavior, and try to make sense of Sam's rant over insanity of the most recent seasons. This is a fun one, so tune in!
Check out Midnight Burger!

Welcome to the second ever Podpodcastcast book club episode, aka bookbookclubclub. In todays adventure, our intrepid hosts set out to tussle with the beast known as the Chuckle Sandwich podcast, a talk show hosted by youtubers Jschlatt, Ted Nivision and formerly Charlie Slimecicle. Join Honor as she tries to explain incredibly niche internet lore while Sam curses Brady for coming on last episode and forcing him to listen to this. Listen in as our hosts discuss everything from whether Charlie was actually that good of a host, to the obligatory D&D episodes, to whether Sam and Jschlatt are both doomed to be canceled. Tune in for a fun ep!

Hop in with Sam, Honor, and special guest Brady from the YouTube channel Bradius in the first ever round table episode of Podpodcastcast! Listen as Honor brings up Critical Role - assuredly the first of many D&D podcasts to be discussed - and Sam immediately begins his hater arch. Be dismayed as Sam confesses this podcast is a rip off of Thumbcramps, a video game review pod he loves despite it being "just no good". Finally, feel bad for Brady as the other two yell at him for not liking podcasts enough to pick between the Nintendo Voice Chat, Linus Tech Tips' WAN Show, and the Chuckle Sandwich podcast.

In this very first ever book club episode, Honor and Sam review ... not a podcast. Dust is a science fiction audio drama podcast by Gunpowder and Sky. Sam says Dust is mid, but the story of Season 3, Chrysalis, is magnificent. Join the team as both of them gush over this short story that contains more interesting storytelling and beautiful presentation than many movies and TV shows. An incredibly strong start to Podpodcastcast, hang with Sam and Honor as they discuss just how awesome this podcast is.
