I stumbled across one of his podcasts on SiriusXM maybe a year ago and found it *much* more interesting than I would have expected. (I wasn't particularly a fan of his, honestly.)
I started downloading episodes with guests who looked interesting, but I hadn't gotten around to actually playing any until a few weeks ago, when I listened to several episodes and confirmed that they were well worth the time. So naturally ... Anyway, I guess there's a back catalog of 400 or so episodes I can work my way through.
