News AF is a weekly podcast discussing the Internet’s best actual factual news stories hosted by Rob Cesternino, Tyson Apostol, and Danny Bryson. The best way to sum up the show is with this review from iTunes by Rogonalog: If you need news, look no further! News expert Danny Bryson and his two sidekicks, Survivor contestants “Boston Rob” Cesternino and Andrea Boehlke, break...
The Seinfeld Recap Podcast, hosted by Rob Cesternino and Akiva Wienerkur, is closing in on episode 150 of Seinfeld. At the time of this writing, they have released 147 episodes. With less than 40 episodes to go, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the great “hot takes” that have come out of discussing Seinfeld for nearly 240 hours. These hot takes come from both...
It’s been a little while since I’ve written up any of my projects on the blog and after listening to the Seinfeld Recap Podcast this week, I thought I was overdue for a write up. If you are unfamiliar with the podcast (then honestly, I don’t know what you are doing here), each week, the hosts, Rob Cesternino and Akiva Wienerkur, recap one episode of Seinfeld. A listener recently...
If you have read my blog in the past, you likely know that I am a big fan of The Seinfeld Recap Podcast. Each week, the hosts, Rob Cesternino and Akiva Wienerkur, recap one episode of Seinfeld. If you ever listen to this podcast, you will start to realize the Akiva has a ton of knowledge about certain pop culture topics but there are also many things that basically every human on the planet knows...
I listen to a lot of podcasts. In a given week, I spend more hours listening to podcasts than watching television, movies or listening to music. Most of the podcasts I listen to are TV-related. In fact, almost every TV show I do watch, I listen to at least one and sometimes more podcasts related to that show. It’s a little crazy. There’s tons of podcasts out there. It’s hard to...
During the last two voicemail shows on Rob Has A Podcast, Rob Cesternino and his co-host have discussed the question, “What winner of Survivor had the largest net worth prior to their win?“ In this blog post, I explain how I came up with the answer of Yul Kwon, winner of Survivor Cook Islands. Before I dive too deeply into my research, I want to setup why this question is interesting...
Recently I wrote about calculating the “peak” season of Seinfeld. In that post, I ranked the seasons by computing a single metric based on the results of twenty top 10 and worst 10 episode lists that I collected from various online sources. In this post, I use the same sources to compute the answers to who are the best performing and worst performing Seinfeld writers and guest...
The Seinfeld Recap Podcast is one of my favorite podcasts on Post Show Recaps and if you’re a Seinfeld fan, I highly recommend it. Recently I wrote about how I extracted 20 questions from the The Seinfeld Recap Podcast. One of the hosts, Akiva Wienerkur, has ranked all 180 episodes of Seinfeld. In each episode, he lets us know where the episode falls in his rankings. In the last episode...
Well I’m back again with a follow up project to my original Seinfeld Recap Podcast work that I posted about a few weeks ago (you can here me talk about this project here). The genesis of my latest project came from a suggestion by Mike Bloom. He had contacted me and suggested that it might be interesting to look at how different podcasts and their hosts use language. I started thinking...
It’s been almost three years, but I’m back again with another super nerdy blog post! I’ve written a lot in the past about different computer programs or stats stuff that I’ve written, usually related to programming competitions, ontologies, and CrossFit, but today, something a little different. I have been a big fan of Rob Has a Podcast and PostShowRecaps almost since...
