  • My favorite

    As a longtime fan of Marks I was glad to hear him on the air again. I became a fan of his when he was on the radio and followed all of his subsequent podcasts. This latest venture is wildly entertaining while being about nothing in particular. He never fails to crack me (and himself) up.
