and

FUN GIRLS HAVE ALL CAPS CHATS AND TALK SHALLOWLY ABOUT HOW LIKING ARIANE GRANDE IS THE SAME AS BEING SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR

Any decent mini series I can get into to pass the time on some mundane tasks? I've listened to Serial, all of You Must Remeber This, Teacher's Pet and that one about the guy accused of murder who was into cars, the name of which escapes me.

[Kermit McDermott]

Eamon Dunphy's podcast can be good.

The Stand

how common is it to have to pay for podcasts? and generally what is the going rate?
