#1 'Magic and Tonic'

This episode of Sampler features host Brittany Luse and producer Chris Neary highlighting podcasts they enjoy. The episode explores the comedy podcast "Bodega Boys," focusing on a clip discussing frustrations with Twitter updates and Ben Carson's political opinions, and Brittany shares her personal connection to Ben Carson as a figure of inspiration in her youth. They then move to "The Dead Authors Podcast," specifically an episode featuring a comedian impersonating Tennessee Williams, and compare the comedic portrayal to an actual interview with Williams. Finally, they examine the "Sleep With Me" podcast, where intentionally boring stories are used to help listeners fall asleep, including insights from an interview with the host, Drew Ackerman.
