The least essential podcast in your feed is here once again with disdain for college basketball coaches, an explanation of how a $1500 bet can cost you $11 million, weird media stuff, and a new twist on the old talk show standby, the ethics of tipping.

You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
