    About This Episode

    In episode 2 of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar responds to listener feedback from the suggestion box. He addresses requests to "make it funnier" by explaining he's not in charge of the comedy—that's the writers' job. Natty also tackles the "less bears" suggestion by promising to avoid bear talk going forward, except for a quick shout-out to the bear nation. The episode humorously highlights the challenges of hosting a topical comedy podcast while managing audience expectations. Despite talking for several minutes, Natty admits he hasn't really discussed anything substantial yet, perfectly capturing the show's improvisational and absurdist charm.
