  • Read It And Weep
    One of the funniest podcasts out there

    If you're like me you hate things that suck, and there are a lot of things that suck out there in the world. Thankfully, Read It And Weep is there to dish it out to the crappy pop fiction that deserve it the most. Twilight, The Lost Symbol... The Notebook.... They all had it coming. Listen and enjoy!

Heck of a program. 
Always informative, thoughtful, and funny as hell. And what cool guests... even when I've never heard of them I learn something.
