Listened to my first Dawn and Drew show the other day; after all, Adam's mentioned them and even played one of Dawn's poem's on the air, so I had to give it a try.
It was ... interesting.
Let me say this to start with. I'm not partial to tons of commentary about the lives of people I don't know. I didn't really get into the whole blogging thing until recently because many of the blogs I has seen were basically regurgitations of people's days - like an online journal. That certainly has its place, but it never really interested me.
That's what I thought when I started listening to my first Dawn and Drew show. Ho hum, details about somebody else's life. Next.
But they were ... well ... funny. I mean, not all the time, but when they were, they were really funny. Laugh-out-loud-in-the-street funny. Have-to-pull-over-to-the-side-of-the-road funny. I really enjoyed it!
Their format is that of a coversation that we're listening in on, with a little bit on one-way interaction with the listener. It reminds me a lot of a radio show I did in college with my then-girlfriend. Except these guys don't just think they're funny. They are. Being a conversation, there are definite spots of dead air, but not too many - not enough to be bothersome, and their audio quality is good.
One thing to keep in mind if you listen is that they do not self-censor. That's a good thing, but they swear, and there is definite sexual innuendo and talk of blowjobs and the like. Probably not to everyone's taste, and probably not something to put in the car stereo when driving the kids to school.
Subscribe as mp3. Their website has a brief synopsis of each episode.
