This Week in Podcasts a weekly roundup of mini-reviews of all of the podcasts I’ve listened to in a week. If you see any podcasts that you feel are missing from my list, there’s a good chance I haven’t listened to the show yet! Feel free to give me recommendations–as well as any feedback or discussion!–in the comments below, in my asks on tumblr, or on twitter.
This week was a stark contrast from last week in that not a single episode was especially notable, whether because it was so good or because it was so bad. All of the episodes this week were at best good and at worst boring, meaning there are no highlights or pitfalls this week.
