    Well, that sort of podcast won’t survive for long in my podcatcher app.

    But the “2 guys” format is very common, and to stay with the theme of the cartoon:

    Often one of the duo is clearly the main guy while the other interjects something that tries to be humorous but falls flat, or contributes so little that they’re just a sounding board for #1.

    In some podcasts this is so bad that I constantly carry a little vicarious embarassment for #2 while listening.

    A little scripting helps, or an agreement that e.g. #1 talks (freely) and #2 reads (articles or quotes etc.).
