This week the guys take a look back at what the listeners decided were the best scenes of the year. It's a top-ten countdown to the new year with lots of laughs! If it can be said that 2015 was a big year, it would stand to reason that Wasting ALL the Time - A Podcast was part of that bigness. Go team! Also, let's try to convince Jon that cults can have a big following.
Wasting ALL the Time is a weekly audio improv comedy podcast hosted by Jonathan Hansen, Cody Parcell, and David Paterson with occasional guests. There are characters, spoofs, songs, laughter, bits, parody, and fun games -- all improvised. Show format alternates weekly. (Music composed by David Paterson, logos designed by James Paterson & Sarah Lister)
