In the immortal words of Boyz II Men: “It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.” Our third place contestant is “yesterday” for the sake of this metaphor. Who will get the bronze metal?

Dave Anthony and Matt Belknap are two major figures in the world of podcasting. Dave co-hosts Walking The Room, the “comic’s comic” of podcasting. Matt co-hosts Never Not Funny, one of the longest running podcasts around. They know full well what it’s like to be in a time crunch and they’re here to see which of our remaining three podcasts can deliver in a pinch. Join us tomorrow as three becomes two and we inch ever closer to crowing a winner of The Earwolf Challenge.

We are joined by advice columnist Amy Alkon this week to discuss manners. That doesn’t mean holding-up-your-pinky type etiquette, but giving-an-appropriate-hug style niceness. Whether it’s a time thief on the phone, a chair hog on a plane, or a non-waver in traffic, you’ll learn how to set boundaries and live happier despite our evolutionary predispositions. Never have an awkward telemarketer situation again!

A cup of coffee with Ty Burrell.

On a hot summer day, what could be better than chilling out with a bunch of bros? Nothing, that’s what! Rob Delaney, Jimmy Pardo, and Paul Rust join Scott for the ultimate Comedy Bang Bang chill sesh.

Our top three competitors have been given their biggest assignment yet: One hour to interview Zach Galifianakis as part of an editing challenge. Too bad it isn’t going to happen.

Listen in today to hear Matt “coach” the podcasters through the most important hour of their life, and join us tomorrow to hear their Time Crunch submissions with guest judges Dave Anthony and Matt Belknap.

This is quite the international episode of Who Charted?!

Scripture states: The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a group of comedians doing a podcast will lead them. I THINK I’m getting that right. This week we address Foreign Relations with comedian Tom Clark who tells us what it was like to volunteer in Mexico. From NAFTA to The Eagles, we cover it all. We even get a brief visit from Ronald Reagan! It’s like a massage for your ears, so listen in and don’t ask us if “That’s it?”

Both Doug Benson and Harris Wittels are experienced podcast guests. Knowing what they know about podcasting and Nick Thune, what will they think of each show’s four minute submission?

The Apple Sisters join us yet again from the open seas where they are enjoying all the amenities the USS Earwolf has to offer.
