I have a massive amount of respect for anybody who makes a scripted podcast. The planning, the creative effort, and the execution can be brutal. There are a lot of them that I like, but Christian Duguay’s brilliant Valley Heat is one that I love. I’m biased, as I’m a voice on it, but I was a fan way before that happened. Valley Heat is one of those podcasts that, once you listen to an episode, you’re hooked. The story of Doug, who broadcasts his podcast from his garage in Burbank and talks only about his life, is gut-busting in its simplicity. Christian and I have been friends a long time, and it was fun to talk about his podcast, catch up on each other’s lives, and offer what might be horrible advice to strangers.
