Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone
Join Paula Poundstone, co-host Adam Felber and a long list of characters, real and imaginary, on Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone, a podcast taking the fun of a late-night show, the wit of a public radio show, and the knowledge of a guest expert while setting the volume to the max. Acerbic yet infectiously funny, Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone invites listeners into the audience of this absolutely ludicrous variety show, if they can follow along…or not.

We’ve got Ben Franklin’s ghost on the show, sure, but do we really know what it’s like to walk a mile in his (tiny, shiny) shoes? A.J. Jacobs does, and he even wrote a book about it, “The Year of Living Constitutionally!” And if that isn’t your bag, you can make a new one - it’s T-shirt bag time in “Toni’s Craft Corner!”
