Irregular Podcast is a podcast created by the same people who brought you things like Irregular Webcomic! and Darths & Droids. Initially created as a companion to the former, it started out as a series of "interviews" with Irregular Webcomic! characters and physical and philosophical musings similar to those found in The Rant. It later morphed into stand-alone episodes about various nerdy things, and one multi-episode story arc, the Arlington Wolfe: Cross-Time Detective trilogy. The last few episodes are simply songs about Irregular Webcomic!'s sister comic, Darths & Droids.
