Don't miss the Woot podcast

Email This Entry

Posted by Matt May

Woot, the site that's half the reason I stay up until 10pm most nights in hope of a deal on one of the three techno gadgets I haven't already bought, has a podcast feed detailing the one item they're selling that day. The Woot blog has details.

I know what you're thinking: so what?

Here's the thing: it is hilarious. Seriously. They're producing a song for each item they sell. It's the funniest stuff I've heard in podcast form since the last Jonathan Coulton album. For example, here is a partial transcript from their podcast for today's item, which extols the virtues of the ruggedized Rio Cali MP3 player:

Well, I dropped it on the floor, and I sat on it and kicked it/and I threw it down the stairs, and I spat on it and flicked it/and then I took it waterskiing/and then I tossed it in a local zoo's ape pen, where I briefly lost it/I retrieved it and shaved it and made it wear a skirt/and then I microwaved it and buried it in dirt

These guys make Crazy Eddie look like His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Discover the Woot podcast.
