Penn Jillette Podcast

I´m a big fan of Penn & Teller´s show Bullshit. They are funny but in a common sense way.

That was why I was so excited when I saw that Penn Jillette, sans Teller, was releasing his own podcast (based on his radio show) . I have now downloaded a couple of shows and while it is funny at times, you can´t help but get the feeling that Penn is holding himself back a bit. He almost seems... polite.

The discussion mostly concentrates on magic related subjects, public reactions, PETA (his favorite pet peeve), cutting up snakes, clown porn and other strange subjects. Interesting but I like it more when they focus on a subject and skewer it - this kind of radio conversational free association is more soft-focused and lacks a certain sharpness.

Some quotes:

"I´ve always wanted to do a show called "Asians, and the disgusting food they eat""

"Two feet high clown pedophile?"
