Best podcast: “It’s All Politics” from National Public Radio. Hosts Ron Elving and Ken Rudin go over a week’s worth of presidential politics with wit, whimsy, astute analysis and just a bit of cynicism. It’s free, click here to get it.

Worst new TV show: Fox’s “Hole in the Wall.” The preview looked sort of funny, which compelled me to look it up on Hulu during a lull here at work. The contestants, hosts and audience are all WAY too excited about the stupid task that’s going on here: Namely, people trying to contort themselves to fit through (you guessed it!) holes in a wall. This further strengthens my urge to come up with some pitches for TV shows — if this thing can make it on the air, anything can. Click here to watch; it’s a great test of the human will to see how far you can get before turning if off. I made it almost 7 whole minutes!
