So, you got me. I really tried to stick with Opie and the show. I've defended him to freinds, but am finally turning the corner. I love Jimmy, but the two of them together just don't make entertainment. I'm bored listening, and just can't validate paying for it any more.

My question is this: What "freind of the show" podcasts are regular and news centered? I'm looking for something entertaining and that keeps me up to date on hot topics (like the first hour-ish of old O&A shows). I'd also like something that isn't extreme left or right winged.

Thanks for your suggestions (and for forcing my eyes open to shitty Opie).
