The original show we listened to (it's a good one!): http://loveandradio.org/2015/03/the-living-room/

The show opens with a huge curtain showdown followed by some indecent exposure, or a Peeping Tom? Paul puts on an Austin Powers show and Neil emulates Karl Pilkington.
Neil projects and Paul is under the spell of The Kuleshov Effect.
To close the show, Paul condemns the harlot and Neil does a live read.

AP Jan 22, 2016: Steven Avery Tweets Us From Prison (Reasonable Doubt: Dean Strang)

Fri, 22 Jan 2016 19:57:30 +0000

Paul has finally succumbed to the Making A Murderer bingeing urge! Shock is expressed as it's revealed that even WHITEY! can get railroaded by the justice system.
Steven Avery tweets AfterPod from prison(?) Is it better for one guilty man to go free than an innocent be jailed forever? Even if he's a mouse tickler?
Neil and Paul then break down Dean's underwater sock adventures while resetting the show a couple of times. After Adam blows his questions, is there potential for redemption for Mark Geragos after defending Scott Peterson?
Neil dismisses the VW emissions case analogy and then moves on to sporting betting scandals. The show closes with coverage of the debate to ban Donald Trump from Britain!

AP Jan 20, 2016: Bananarama and WCACA Drama (Adam Carolla Show: Paul Reiser)

Wed, 20 Jan 2016 21:34:19 +0000

The show opens with a hypothetical Adam and Gary interchange, then Neil lays down the law of the Church of Podcast Fundamentalism.
After rewriting bar and pub rules, it is decreed that there is no such thing as a bad ad read... unless you are Bill Burr.
There are some comments from Dimeforscale.com and Reddit with a quick Bananarama musical interlude.
Following some WCACA Fakery drama, it's back to more Bananarama and a contribution to The Human Fund. After breaking down how Last Class works, the Millennium Bug hits! (not).
To close the show, Neil and Paul pay a visit to an empty cinema.

AP Jan 18, 2016: Work Wives in The Judgement-Free Zone (Death, Sex & Money: Cheating Happens.)

Mon, 18 Jan 2016 18:40:19 +0000

The show we discussed: http://www.wnyc.org/story/cheating-death-sex-money/

There's a Friends-Off to start the show, followed by a hefty dose of delusion when Neil and Paul have Work Wives (not each other).
Emotional Cheating is pitched against a one-night stand and Paul and Neil are incredulous about The Ultimatum. AfterPod remains a Judgement-Free Zone and SD&M avoids horror stories.
After a brief honeymoon period, Paul contemplates a hypothetical chat with the kids, then opens up about trust. To close the show, Neil gives some advice for would-be cheaters!

AP Jan 15, 2016: Making A Binge-Watcher (Reasonable Doubt: Making A Murderer & Dr. Drew)

Fri, 15 Jan 2016 20:36:56 +0000

The show we listened to: http://reasonabledoubtpodcast.com/2016/01/dr-drew-pinsky/

The show opens with some TV-bingeing chat, with Paul acting as "AfterPod's Adam", as he hasn't seen all of MAM yet.
Paul tries to guilt-trip Neil about watching Murder Porn and Neil fights back with an argument about docs and the innocent languishing in obscurity.
Next, Drew is pitched against Geragos and Ken Kratz gets another day in the sun to complain about "missing evidence".
Neil gets hot under the collar about proving a crime beyond a Reasonable Doubt and tries to explain Scotland's three verdict system
Neil is impressed and entertained by Dean Strang's appearance on Wisconsin Morning TV (skip to 19m:35s), then yells at the policemen on the telly.
To round out the show, there's a discussion of how voicemails worked in 2005 and the parallels with the Murdoch Phone Hacking Scandal.
