Since this is kind of taking that kind of turn, I have to say I actually never liked the PFTKast. He is a talented standup comedian, but somehow while Julie Klausner and Tom manage to do well with the extended improvised radio monologues, his never really seemed to work, and would get annoying at times. People joke about skipping the first 10 minutes of Maron's show, but I actually like it when he checks in, so I don't have anything against that technique, it's just a question of what you do with it.
