Self promoting this Blog post - promote requested by original submitter ZappaDanMan.

ahh so that's what happens when you promote a blog. Thought there was gonna be 4th of july fireworks.

I didn't know you could promote a blog post! Good to know.

(that clip is hilarious, by the way)

..now I'm frustrated with my inability to upvote the blog post.
btw.. if you haven't see in yet, my first ever post on the Sift kinda follows the Scrabble/mental health theme:

Nice, I listen to 'WTF with marc marmon' and 'This American Life' regularly.

Hilarious!

I only really have enough time in a week for Marc Maron. Not that I've really looked around at other podcasts, to be fair, but Marc pumps out 2-3 hours of awesome comedy-junkie quality per week, and it's all I have time for.

I realised recently that I probably listen to him speaking more than almost anyone else in my life, with the possible exception of my wife. And that's only a possible exception. I don't listen to her speak uninterrupted for an hour and a half at any given time.

So what's this whole 'This American Life' thing about? Would it entertain a non-American?

Me too. Well, actually 1 of 2 podcasts.

and they are?

@kymbos @dag I've listened to 'this American life' for the past 2 years. I'm Australian and it relates to one and all. The podcast is one of those pure gems that you find...a real incite into the human condition. I do love looking forward to it every week. It is real, true Broadcast/Investigative radio. Every episode follows a theme in various acts (different stories):

Example episode 368: Who do you think you are?

...In which talks about the oral history of the great depression, parking tickets and more. 'This American Life' can be funny at times, informative and heart breaking. I recomend you all give it a try Thier podcasts are free for streaming on the site.

Well, if you're so Australian, why aren't you meeting us in Melbourne in November?

Will check out the podcast on your recommendation.

It's a bit more nerdy, but this guy is really smart.

Just listened to the John Hamm WTF - really good. Doing the Bryan Cranston one now. He's really getting lots of A-listers these days.

Yeah I know, it's awesome, I think I'm going to sign up for his premier pass (whatever pay thing). BTW, he's started a youtube channel for his show with behind the scene stuff
