QOTW:Got a fond memory of TalkRadar?
Not fishing for compliments here, we’ve just been receiving a deluge of heartbreaking stories from listeners pertaining to life with ovarian cancer and/or drowning in their own diarrhea and it’s starting to bum us out a little. Tell us an uplifting story about our filthy, stupid podcast. Ever see a reference come to life? Have we ever brought up something you thought no one else remembered or inspired you? Let us know in the forums and we may read your response LIVE on TalkRadar 147!

Want to listen to TalkRadar on your mobile device? We recommend Stitcher (it's way better than iTunes!)

In the office
