List #38: A Couple of the Best Things I Listened to in 2013

Best Podcast:
Welcome to Night Vale

(Rec. #303)

Weird and dark enough to feel like a cult hit while still being one of the most-downloaded podcasts of the year.

Best Downloadable Radio Show:

BBC Radio 2 — Graham Norton

This is almost better than his television chat show for a few reasons: 1) It’s easier to obtain, 2) he gets to interview properly clever Brits instead of (usually dull) Hollywood faces, and 3) the “Grill Graham” advice segment is more reliably funny than any other regular feature being done on any talk show.
