Bryan and Erin dive right in this week as they discuss everything from why Trump’s commutation of Alice Marie Johnson's prison sentence should NOT be taken as a sign of support for incarcerated nonviolent drug offenders to CrossFit “Chief Knowledge Officer” Russell Berger’s termination following his homophobic Twitter rant. Guest Jon Lovett joins to talk about the literary sadness of Melania Trump, struggling with difficult conversations, encouraging young voters, and who we should really be afraid of on the right.

If you learn one thing in life...
...it's that this Podcast is simply the best. Could two people possibly make my commute any better? Tuesdays cannot come fast enough every week, because that's when the next episode of Throwing Shade is dropped. I love, love, love this show--it's crass, it's juvenile, it's silly, it's hilarious, and it's actually pretty dang informative. You will love it. What are you waiting for?!

I just can't stop listening to it!
This show is AWESOME! I get all excited when I get the notification that there's a new episode. It's funny, I'm sometimes talking to my friends and then I mention something Bryan or Erin said and I sound smart hahaha! BTW Please someone tell me in which episode Bryan sings the song to his dog Sherman, but it's the song from the Golden Girls! I forgot to bookmark it and for some reason I'm dying to hear it again! I've listened to about 12 episodes now today (at 2.5 speed lol) and still can't find it Heeeeelp! I love you guys! <3

LGBT - Love Gibblertron, Bryan Too!
I think Throwing Shade is an amazing platform which sheds light on lady and gay issues that are otherwise left in the shade by today's media. With its effortless bridge from lowbrow to highbrow, it encourages listeners to speak up (you know, between our fits of laughter from hearing Bryan's Sally Kellerman impression and Erin's "Vaginer" tales). After every episode, I'm left wanting to inform people of the 'ssues raised, hoping to help change opinions for the better.

Listen in the car...always almost hit other vehicl
I wait with baited breath until a new episode is available. My favorite part is the loud intermittent yelling Erin sometimes uses to highlight the point or bryan's deadpan and brilliant timing. The issues they deal with are self-described as relevant to "women and gay men" but they are incisive in their commentary and end up skewering the worst parts of our society with their excellent and poignant humor.

Definitely in my top 3 favorite shows!
I've been listening to this show for years! I absolutely die laughing multiple times throughout each episode and when they started filming their episodes on funnyordie.com, I lost my mind. I have only been able to watch one or two but every time I do, I lose it. Erin tweeted at me once and I also almost died. #fangirl

I listened to this podcasts years ago, but then kind of got out of podcasts. My new job allows me to listen to music and such. I could not remember the name of your podcast so i start googling. I tried best podcasts, then "Feminist and Gay Fellow," and more, and days later!! I FOUND YOU! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Always Full of Laughs
These two (Bryan & Erin) are hilarious. I am laughing out loud in my car every time I listen. But what's cool is they actually get the topics across in between going off the rails. I have made a point to see them every time they're in Philly and they never disappoint. I love this podcast and you will too.

Funniest podcast out there
I listened to one show and I was hooked. I just recently saw them at their live show in Atlanta. They have a great rapport and there interactions and idiosyncrasies are hilarious. Great show, especially if you are fond of the women and the gays.
