Mike Richards speaks

Happened across Mike Richards' first podcast. He's the showrunner on The Price is Right and, according to Golden Road, the font of all evil in the western (and eastern) world.

To put it mildly, the podcast is not a thrill a minute. Mike rambles though various subjects with a female sidekick, whose name I unfortunately missed. I think she used to be a staffer on TPiR, but I'm not sure. They spend a lot of time on Secretaries Appreciation Day, or whatever the politically correct title is nowadays.

Richards also mentions Melissa Peterman and her new show Bet On Your Baby. He likes Melissa and notes that she once appeared on GSN's late, unfortunate Pyramid. He then calls up a TPiR model and starts talking about some special effects compendium called Iron Man 3.

At this point I checked out of the podcast. My TPiR-indifference played a part in my exit, but frankly any podcast gets old fast for me. Listening to disembodied voices droning from my computer speakers is not my biggest whoop-de-doo. Even when I'm typing a blog entry about the experience.
