Need a seriously good belly laugh?

I just love podcasts. And the BBC, I think, has some of the best out there. A new one I just 'discovered' is Friday Night Comedy Night. You can discover it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/fricomedy.

Do yourself a favor and subscribe. You may miss some of the jokes in America, due to the references to such delightful political clowns as Boris Johnson and (better known) Gordon Brown. But nonetheless, it's worth it. It's the kind of show that the creakingly un-funny "Wait, wait ... don't tell me" on NPR tries to be, and fails hopelessly.

Last night as I drove home down 280, I seriously needed cheering up. I listened to the latest show and was actually roaring with laughter. Thank you Sandi Toksvig.
