Podcast Squared #100- Syndication | This was a mobile record and the windscreen was missing from the mic so there are some noticeable sound artifacts in the first half for which I apologize. If only we at Podcast Squared had our own podcast producer like Katie Levine from The Nerdist Network (our guest on today's show!) then all these problems could have been averted. In the news this week: Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes talk about the therapeutic aspects of their show Jay and Silent Bob Get Old and how it helped Mewes overcome his drug addiction. Children in the UK are learning to build confidence and express themselves through the power the the ultimate user friendly podcast format. Finally, the Discovery channel is joining the ranks of IFC and BBC America by producing a new television show based off of a podcast in what representatives from the channel hope is the first of many such productions. This week in reviews Dave confesses that he doesn't really like metal but that doesn't stop him from enjoying the Decibel Geek Podcast. Andrew tries to think like a cat lady and listen to stories about sewing, with mixed results when he takes on Hip to be a Square podcast.

Podcast Squared #99- Golden Age of New York | No news this week because there is too much awesome to get to! First off Dave takes a trip down a painful memory lane with his review of Back to the 80s Podcast. Andrew finally gets around to his last in a series of historical podcast reviews with the delightfully metropolitan Bowery Boys Podcast. This is the best time for it too because Greg Young from the Bowery Boys stops by for a fascinating interview about history as a discipline, why New York is such a great city and of course how great these podcast things are.

Podcast Squared #98- Dominic Dierkes | News is a little light today buy the Chicago Tribune did give a nice shout out to Dan Savage which is nice. Dave and Andrew shared their 5 essential podcast lists and PC World joined them by sharing their 7 Best Business podcasts (although they omitted the very awesome 5 Minutes with Jack but they are forgiven). Andrew gives his second to last history podcast review of the season with the neat but chemically neutral Stuff You Missed In History Class. This week's guest is a legendary pioneer in the field of internetting and making funny on the interwebz, its Derrick Comedy co-founder and host of the Anytime Show, Dominic Dierkes! | 14 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

In the reviews, Dave finally comes to term with his food hatred by sharing love for the "eater" food podcast Sporkful. Andrew decides it's been too long since the last anime podcast review so he dusts off the uneven gem called Otaku in Review. Our guest is the man the myth the legend, Mike Duncan the now former host of The History of Rome Podcast and he has a lot to say now that he's on the other side of that epic journey.

Podcast Squared #94- Dammit Janet! | What's this? No Dave on the front of this episode? Oh well I suppose we'll have to settle for The No Call No Show's Michael for our fix. Up first we talk about non alcohol related podcasts spending too much time talking about alcohol, seriously what's up with that? Then Michael gives his review of Should I Drink That? which begs the question: Should I listen to that? Then Andrew answers all your questions about the hilarious Q&A comedy show Answer Me This! Our guest today is the host of the JV Club and all around awesomely talented and nice person, Janet Varney!

Customer Reviews
A very good podcast review show
This is a podcast review podcast. In which he reviews two podcasts, off which one has an interview with that podcaster(s). It is done by an american so the podcasts are all american (at least I havn't heard a none american one yet), but that does not make it bad. His reviews are good and the interview is done really well. It is well well worth lisiterning to.
