So... a quick follow up. This is an oddball offering, but the basic idea is people call in with various questions or problems, and the two hosts try to help solve their problem. It's more humorous than informative.
However... for my money the best thing in the show is the promo pieces. They have to do their reads for Caspar Mattresses or whatnot, and they fairly often go way off script and into really weird tangents. And the very best is when they do their obligatory read for the "NPR One" app -- where they totally play along and pitch it with great gusto, saying things like
"...if you wanted to listen to this podcast, STOP... and go get the NPR One app so you can listen to something else, probably something else that's much better than this."
I doubt this endorsement will move many to subscribe, but I find them engaging for some reason.
