Consider this a favor, fans of television, from SFist to you: Tim Goodman, superb TV critic from the San Francisco Chronicle, has a podcast. He's calling it The TV Talk Machine. If you've heard him in guest spots on KFOG in the ayem, you know that he's great in any medium.

Having listened to the first one, we can state confidently that it's good: about half as entertaining as his writing. Which makes it four times better than anything else out there. You like our math? In other words, any Goodman is good, man, and we'll take what we can get. Keep it up, Mr. Crankypants.

Check out his column, blog (The Bastard Machine), and now his podcast.
