Totally addicted, Noell and Israel discuss movies, television, books, and podcasting. Our tastes sometimes are different, so we end up debating the quality of shows like "The Family Guy", "Wedding Crashers", and "The Sopranos." Some shows we agree on. For example, we both love "Six Feet Under", "Weeds", "30 Days", "24", "The Apprentice", and "Survivor". It's true. We're addicted to the media. We love it. And podcasting is the perfect way to talk about it. Please subscribe and enjoy our podcast.
