  • Air Out My Shorts
    Uniquely amusing!

    AOMS is a rare gem among the dreck out there. Not only that, but it's also one of the very few podcasts which not only encourages listener participation but relies almost exclusively on it. Trust me on this one. I'm right now holding up my hands to make the sign of The Placid Albino Platypus of Honesty. So you *know* I'm not lying. You will not regret giving this show a try.
