Customer Reviews
This is great.
I like this podcast a lot and would recommend it to anyone. But I have a question regarding Episode 4 - After you left the underwear in the hotel trash can, did you leave a tip for the housekeeper?
Two Guys Chatting
The Podcast as form has thus far functioned without restrictions. And in that form, lots of them are a huge waste of time. Erik Tanouye is a smart, genial-seeming guy. His guests, so far, are UCB NY folk, who share the same qualities. He's not going to waste your time. Follow him on TUMBLR and TWITTER too. He's the guy that made that awesome tweet about the girl from the song "She Bangs", that tweet everyone was talking about. Check it out.
Short and great!
Both Anthony and Erik shatter the boundaries of podcasting, casting convention aside. They talk for about 10 minutes and that's it. Very Funny.
