Hey… this is a great podcast. I’ve been listening for about three months. Maybe when I graduate I’ll be able to make a donation… depends on jobs.
Anyway, to my point. I has been a long time since any democracy now clips. I’d love to hear it in here.
Hey Jay,
Is there any way to get a link to just Act 8, the Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me clip? I was LOL when I heard it, and I just wanted to send it to some friends of mine.
Thanks a lot for what you do. I download every podcast. And I am a member!

Sure thing Jeremy, here’s a link to the clip you’re referring to.

Review on ITunes
Hey man,
I love the show, have used the amazon box and always reccomend it to people.
One criticism: “The Word” segments from the Colbert Report really doesn’t work on a podcast. Not being able to see the screen defuses the jokes and the left-leaning subcontext.
Thanks for all you do, someday I won’t be poor and subscribe to your podcast.
