"Pick of the Week"
About every six months I think I'll try to give this a listen. These guys know their contemporary comics. Seriously, they are super super knowledgeable. Before they down-sized their website, the podcast had great audio. Since, biting the bullet and backing off their efforts, the audio quality has gone down... so much so, that every six months when I give it another try, I can't even make it to the first comic review. Great content. Horrid audio.

SONG EXPLODER
"RJD2 'Games You Can Win (Feat. Kenna)'"
Synopsis
RJD2 has been making music since 2002. His song “A Beautiful Mine” was turned into the opening credits music for Mad Men. He’s a producer and beatmaker, but also a singer and songwriter. But for the vocals on the song “Games You Can Win,” he tapped Kenna, a Grammy-nominee who Malcolm Gladwell wrote about in Blink. In this episode, you’ll get to hear the parts that make up the track, as well as the unreleased demo vocals that RJ originally recorded himself.

"Episode 187: Butterfly Effects"
Synopsis
Ballots are an essential component to a working democracy, yet they are rarely created (or even reviewed) by design professionals. Good ballot design is mainly a matter of following good design principles in general—familiar territory for graphic designers, but not necessarily so for election officials.
