  1. PLEASE DO NOT EAT ON THE PODCAST! You seriously couldn’t wait 15 extra minutes for someone to eat a burrito? That sound is endlessly disgusting and is the only thing I can focus on while it’s happening. Extremely irritating. C’mon guys, that’s like Podcasting 101.

  3. @Kaps the Haps, I just want you to imagine what sound goes down your spine and makes you want to punch someone. Nails on a chalkboard? A loud, wet belch? Maybe the sound of a mosquito in your ear? Everybody has certain sounds that just hit their nerves like a power drill. For many of us, the sound of chewing in our ears is that sound (especially when wearing earbuds). It’s not a matter of being too sensitive, it’s just that this particular sound is disgusting to us. Congratulations on being one of the few whom it doesn’t bother. Go get yourself a trophy and pat yourself on the back. These guys are professional podcasters, they really should have known better.

  4. Gang, sorry about the chewing noises. We usually record in the morning and this was done at night. Wain hadn’t eaten, and he wanted to get started right away, so we made due. It’s like the first 15 mins or so, then he’s done. Honestly, out of 108 episodes, its the first time this has happened. We’ve learned from it and we’ll do our best to avoid that going forward.

  5. Wanted to listen to this one badly, but I could not handle the lip smacking from him eating. It was like torture. Thanks for the free podcast though.

  6. Guys I’m very sorry about this whole eating fiasco. I’ve learned my lesson too. From now on, it’s eat first, talk after.
    Peace?

  8. first podcast I’d ever listened to was Totally Laime and it was Artemis Pebdani’s first appearance. You should have her on as she is just wonderful. I love this podcast too, Cole with your sweet Elvis Costello impressions and Vanessa with your insanely creative wizard questions. You both make me very happy.

  9. and also, i don’t mind the eating sounds. It makes me feel like the guest is at ease. i have never been bothered by a chewing noise. carry on.
