Short and Satirical
I really enjoyed this podcast from the Onion. In this, we are listening to "OPR" which styled itself very much like something you would hear on NPR, complete with a fake pledge break about halfway through. I found it by mistake when I looking for a new True Crime podcast to listen to. I was glad I did. The satirical tones were pretty good, and while I generally believe you can't take satire too far, this did have some gags that were a bit much or seemed to drag on to me. Overall, it was well done and very much worth a listen!

Absolutely superb...until the cast change.
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is a truly superb show, or at least it was to start with. The humour can be brilliantly stupid, and the casting is absolutely perfect.

Unfortunately, with the start of series 4, there came a new cast member following a previous character being killed off, possibly due to other acting commitments. But the show shouldn't have replaced the character. The new casting replaces the young, daft, jack-the-lad character with an irritating Essex boy type character, who now seems completely out of place with the programme and the rest of the cast.
