Episode 500
The NOs of Podcasting
In this milestone 500th episode (!!!) of The Popcast, we are going meta and celebrating with "The Nos of Podcasting." We have collected listener-submitted complaints to comment on, ranging from celebrities stealing our lunch money to judging people based on their playback speed (1.8x, baby!) to background noises and mouth juices. Plus, we don't leave ourselves out of the roast – we take a cringey trip down memory lane and revisit some of our own Popcasting NOs. As we celebrate this 500th episode, we'd like to give a shoutout to our community of listeners. You are the wind beneath our wings, the weapons to our fists, and our forever greenlight. We love you all and we're excited to keep making you laugh for another five hundred.
