Food and comedy!
A friend recommended this podcast to me and I was hooked from the first episode. Love the format but also like the fact that not all the guests are comedians or friends of the presenters. The podcast is hilarious and features 2 of the best comedians around at the moment, the guests buy straight into the format and really enjoy it when they arrive with the sole intention of winding either Ed or James up. My only issue with this podcast is that I don't have a magical restaurant with a genie waiter!!!

Learn about history from drunk people
The premise is that the host, Derek Waters goes to the house of various comedians and they drink copious amounts of alcohol. The guest comedian then narrates a true account of an historical figure that they are familiar with but they are inebriated while telling the story. Meanwhile, actors, comedians and Derek Waters play the roles of the historical figures and 'lip sync' whatever the guest narrator says. This can be very comical as the narrator slurs, burps, stutters or messes up the story in some way. Each episode has 2 or 3 guest comedians and there is usually a theme to each episode, i.e. civil rights, the west, etc. Everything the narrator says is obviously not 100% accurate, however, the basis is. I have actually learned a lot about historical figures because of Drunk History because I look up things about interesting characters I didn't know about.
