1486: God's Plan

I heard a stat a while ago that if you had a computer at home you were in the top 1% in the world in terms of wealth. Also that if you had $100 in your bank account and food and a place to sleep indoors you were in the top 5%. That was around 10 years ago but I'm pretty sure most people listening to podcasts are in the top 5% worldwide. I've always been really keen to verify this but it flipped me out when I heard it.

Not sure if this is what you're implying, but just because things are shittier elsewhere doesn't mean they can't be better here. If the richest people keep holding on to their wealth and widening the gap, then the rest of us can't really meaningfully help the rest of the world even if we wanted to.

I found Katg by googling comedy podcasts, one of the first links that came up was from yahoo answers where someone listed Katg as a funny podcast.

I had searched for comedy podcasts before in itunes, but had been sorely dissapointed with the suggestions of Dawn & Drew and Red Bar Radio. Dawn & Drew was so ridiculously horrendous I had almost given up on independent podcasts (Seriously, words can't describe how monotone and atrociously unentertaining they are, fuck them in their dumb face holes).

It took me about 10 or episodes of Keith and the Girl before I was finally set on the show. My entry episode was 846: The Crazy and the Drunk with Patrice, initially I didn't really know the characters of the show that well and found the episiodes hard to get into. I got bored a lot at gym doing cardio and decided to persist with listening because my podcast list was otherwise empty at that time. Then the real kicker was episode 879: Sober Living with Peyton Clarkson and Spooky, the back and forth was brilliant and added to this was the excitement of hearing contestants for Keith's annual stand up competition along with everyones running commentary.

~30% of the world's population have internet access according to who ever runs this site.

My co-worker has this exact poster over his desk. Although it gives the percentage at 25%.

Edit: Just listened to the part about the contest. Best show ever. :)
