Getting to the Bottom of the Martini Glass: The Joys of “James Bonding”
During the first year of the Addison Recorder, I wrote extensively about my admiration for Chris Hardwick and his Nerdist empire. After a brief fall-away from listening to podcasts when I transitioned to a new job, I returned to the Nerdist to find that the show had only increased in quality despite Chris, Matt Mira, and Jonah Ray taking on higher profiles and more jobs (Chris’s television show @midnight is worthy of its own Recorder piece one of these days). So in advising our readers on wonderful free sources of entertainment for 2014, I wholeheartedly recommend continual adventures with the Nerdist (and would suggest the episodes with Tom Hanks, Brie Larson, and the Talking Cat?!…you heard it right…as great recent jumping-in points, and then the incredibly moving “Honestly 2013” wrap-up special), but I also want to add another podcast in the roster which has joined the main event as my personal favorite: James Bonding.
