Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" has returned today as a podcast!

[ificandream]

The first full episode dropped today. (A preview dropped July 20.) I haven't heard it yet, but I'm very glad to see this. I only wish he'd done it during The Orange Dimwit's presidency. But better late than never. He has a lot of targets to go after on the GOP side. Good to see him back.

Description from Apple: "

“Countdown With Keith Olbermann,” the landmark news and commentary program that reordered the world of cable news, returns as a daily podcast. Olbermann’s daily news-driven mix will include his trademark “Special Comment” political analysis, the tongue-in-cheek “Worst Persons In The World” segment, and his timeless readings from the works of the immortal James Thurber. The man who turned SportsCenter into a cultural phenomenon will broaden the content to include a daily sports segment, a daily call for help for a suffering dog, and a remarkable series of anecdotes covering a career that stretched from covering the 1980 Olympic Miracle on Ice a month after his 21st birthday, to anchoring the 2009 Presidential Inauguration and the 2009 Super Bowl pre-game show in a span of just twelve days, to rejoining ESPN as a “rookie” baseball play-by-play man at the age of 59."

3. So I listened to the whole first episode on my walk (which I extended to hear the whole thing)

It's everything you loved about the original "Countdown." And yes, it has "Worst Persons ..." Don't let the opening scare you. He's the Keith Olbermann you know and love. The show will bring smiles to your faces.

Keith, thank you for bringing this back again. We have missed you immensely.

4. I'm 4 episodes in and I like it...

but he's got a weird obsession with Rachel Maddow. I guess I don't understand the backstory.
