I look forward to Al Franken's podcast more than any. His art of combining humor, truth, and analysis with so many brilliant guests is not matched by any other.

I like it so far. Al is great at radio, voice, timing and interviewing. We will see if he does NOT screw up, AND if he can do some repair with women. Sarah Silverman is my hero.
Description
A five-time Emmy winning SNL comedy writer/producer, joins a four-time #1 NYT bestselling author, a three-time highest-rated national progressive radio host, a two-time Grammy winning artist, and a former US Senator. So, it gets a little crowded in the booth when Al talks public policy and sometimes political comedy with notable guests. Think “The Daily” without the resources of the NYTimes.
