Class act

 
Is Smartless the #2 comedy podcast because...
 
The three odd actors who front it are buds?
It boasts a year of A-list mystery guests?
Their riffs, insults and giggles are infectious?
 
Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett are quick-tongued guys who know each other too well. They have generous friends.
 
Born in the depths of the pandemic, Smartless easily eclipses the lumbering yak efforts of all but a few ho-ho rivals.
 
Sure, it's over-loaded with 50 surprise showbiz sorts, but do George Clooney or Paul McCartney book a lot of pod guest shots?
The boss of Netflix or Gustavo Dudamel?
 
Smartless is one of two pods I make time for.  
 
 
Or your alternate app-heavy podcast platforms
