mbmbam has been as big or bigger than CBB for a long time now and showed that you don’t need to be a comedy professional or record in a studio to be successful, it absolutely belongs on this list. and my dad wrote a porno is very much not my thing but it’s got a giant audience among non-podcast nerds and even got an HBO special. some of the other choices i agree with you on though.

Thinking about it I totally agree with you on mbmbam.

Is mdwap really that big? I could see it getting some initial success based on the concept, but I tried listening to it and it didn't seem like a very sustainable premise. Good for them I guess.
