I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Just started this based on your post. First ep was great. I need a good fiction cast to listen to, and I thought Welcome to Nightvale was awful. Hopefully the quality of this one keeps up with the first installment.
Ups and downs. I still haven't listened to episode 5.

Since last August (that is, 2014), this guy has released a video every week detailing what happened exactly 100 years before that week during World War I. He's going step by step by step, planning to run the series all the way through November 2018, and I'm already hooked after like 10 episodes.
Hollywood Handbook is my new favorite podcast. They did a pair of episodes with Joe Wengert and Paul F Tompkins recently that may be the funniest thing I've ever heard.
