Stuff You Should Be Into

Hello friends! I'm kind of a on a roll today, but this is the last one, I promise. Now, on to the main feature! I call this one "Stuff You Should Be Into." It's where I put up something that totally rocks my world, that I think people would like. Today's recipient: The Frog Pants Network!
The Frog Pants Network is a pod casting network started by a man from Utah named Scott Johnson. He is also a cartoonist, and his site hosts his excellent cartoon "Extra Life." The network really started with Scott's podcast "Extra Life Radio" which went on to win multiple pod casting awards. Even though that show has ended, the Frog Pants Network has grown to include a plethora(I like that word, get over it) of shows, both of Scott's making, and other shows. Some of the highlights include the award winning "The Instance" podcast dedicated to World of Warcraft. All of the podcasts are nerd central, and that's what makes them great. Some of his other shows include Film Sack, a hilarious dissection of weird movies, and The Morning Stream, a live morning show, both hosted by Scott Johnson and others, including Tom Merrit, Rand Deluxe, Brian Ibbot, and Brian Dunaway.
Mr. Johnson has since incorporated other shows into his network, including a TIME magazine recommended show called "Coverville," hosted by Brian Ibbot, which is solely dedicated to cover songs. The most recent addition is the FSL, Fantasy Sports League, a show covering fake games from teams like the Alderaan Rebels, and the Mordor Crows, which is just excellent, and delivered in believable tones by Tom Merrit, of TWiT, and Justin Robert Young, of NSFW.
If you listen to nothing else, I recommend "Film Sack." The four hosts spend over an hour dissecting movies like "Universal Soldier," "Time Bandits," "From Dusk till Dawn" and a whole slew of others. I literally spend my Thursdays waiting for that pod cast to be released.
Please visit them here and get ready to waste some hours.
