U Talkin' U2 To Me? is my all-time favorite podcast, and I would love for Earwolf to put out more shows like it. It's really fun to hear you and other Earwolf regulars get to bullshit and make each other laugh outside of the typical format. So, with that said, two questions:

1. Has the response to UTU2TM been good enough that we might see more banter/bullshit shows from Earwolf? (Side note: Jesus Christ. Please make Staind Glass with Todd Glass happen)

2. What are the benefits and drawbacks to doing a limited-run podcast versus an ongoing?

Thanks for all the free entertainment you and Earwolf provide. It really helps me get through the week.

In the pictures of Earwolf recordings that are posted with each episode I never see any alcohol. Is there a policy about no drinking? Do comedians ever complain about having to perform sober?

I just want you to know that one of my favorite things to do is get drunk by myself on a Friday or Saturday night, mute the tv, put in Halo, put on my headphones and blast "Prelude to War." Thank you for this epic gift.

What type of new stuff can we expect from AV Club in 2013?

I enjoy your writing because it's so different from the endless dark and edgy crap the industry offers. How do you balance having humor and lightness while keeping the stakes high? How do you keep a story fun without it feeling frivolous?
