The Crapshoot Podcast, with cortex and churl
Do you enjoy amiable bullshitting? How convenient! Me and churl enjoy bullshitting amiably, and we're doing just that for about an hour every week on The Crapshoot, our brand new podcast. We'll be bringing on interesting local PDX people (and out-of-towners when we can snag them while they're in Portland) and talking about everything and nothing. Our first episode features local comedian and mefite Mark msalt Saltveit, with whom we chatter about palindromes and taoism and football and a bunch of other things.

Of course, you could have always called it "Josh, Jesse, Go!" to emphasize the originality of your concept...
I kid, I kid because you annoy me.
Of course, if you decide against you other totally original concept of calling yourselves "co-hosts", you could go with "semi-hosts", "twin hosts" or, keeping with the crappy theme of your show "Number Two and Number Two Too".
Regarding your show content (SPOILERS): I was SHOCKED, SHOCKED that no one on the show remembered the name of "that game show based on rebuses" ... it was "CONCENTRATION", the greatest no-celebrities, no-big-prizes, no-jumping-on-stage game show of all time, which may have been semi-revived in the 1980s (with Alex Trebek, who hosted EVERY game show revived during that time), but had its Golden Era from 1958-1977, with Hugh Downs (one of television's most successful personality-free hosts) as host for more than half that time.
Also I can not believe you discussed palindromes without using Weird Al's "Bob" as bumper music. Do better next time; you're only 4-and-a-half random symbols out of 5.

Much as I love Bob, I am not a personal friend of Al and so had no easy shortcut to getting clearance for it. Fair use arguments aside, there's a certain spiritual freedom that comes with committing no, rather than few and minor, licensing violations, so we're just running with that for now.

And episode 3, featuring the Ottowan Padawan himself, mefi's own frenetic, Brad "Brad Sucks" Turcotte. IT'S ALL VERY EXCITING.

I was expecting that to turn into a palindrome somehow.
