This weekly podcast takes a look at our world from the view of two ordinary guys who happen to think there is a funny side to about most anything. Not that they have any more answers than the next person, but it is their opinion that they can find a humorous spin on many of the issues facing those of us on this planet today. They will also discuss topics which may not have a funny side, but that offer great conversation. Basically, this podcast is the product of their desire to examine and comment on virtually any topic that happens to catch their attention...which really does not narrow it down at all. Blair Patton and Carden Moore make up the duo that is Pondering monkeys. Armed with the driest of humor and wandering minds, there is really no place this podcast cannot go. So, if you feel like a ride on the abstract humor bus and want to learn a few things along the way, by all means make yourself comfortable join the conversation.
