I hope to hear Noah’s Plucky Duck quacking out the recent Douthat readings.

There are only 3 episodes (this among them) that are just too much of a downer to listen to. See also the billionaire op eds and the recent Obama episode.

Sunday Morning Hotdog

Really? The episode where Eli just reads Ray Comfort's book as Ray Comfort is one of my favorite episodes.

I frequently listen to previous episodes and let's just say that this will not be one of them. I'm apparently not a fan of the "just read what the jerk wrote and heckle it a bit" approach. On the other hand, I second this voice for Noah's next D&D Minus character, who should perhaps be a nerdy know-it-all.

I'm not sure clarifying that you were using *other* people's speech impediments to make fun of Douthat rather than his own makes it much better, tbh. The voice was unnecessary and made the episode a chore to listen to. And by reading those two op eds verbatim, you were still platforming them. I've rarely had a dud Citation Needed episode, but this definitely was one for me.
