Rules

a) It must be a podcast I have listened to
b) It must be an episode from a podcast that is consistently good
c) It must be an episode so memorable that I remembered without having to look for it or try to find it
d) No more than one episode per podcast (this was very tough)
e) More than one episode is allowed only when part of a consecutive series that can only be appreciated together
