Every other week, Kat and Chris yuck it up over drinks, discussing everything from pop culture, to politics, to personal triumphs and social faux pas.  With ridiculous banter, unexpected guests, poignant insights, and their own amateur libation reviews, you never know where the Wreckless Breakfast "oddcast" will take you.    @superkatjones @densonology

Danny Lobell of Comical Radio and This American Life is back once again. This time, he's diving head first into philosophy (a subject he knows nothing about) with fellow comedians such as Marc Maron, Bill Burr, Lewis Black, Maria Bamford, Janeane Garofalo, Larry Miller, Reggie Watts, Artie Lange, Greg Fitzsimmons etc.  and attempts to find the answers to life's great questions. Even if the questions just lead to more questions, there will be many laughs in between. You can listen and decide: Are comedians really "modern day philosophers"?
