I know a lot of parents out there really appreciate the EP and PC rating systems.  But I have to say, I love running the one EA podcast without one.  While the other podcasts have to rigorously consider a host of moral and ethical quandaries, painstakingly drawing conclusions that every parent may or may not agree with, all I ever do is turn off the iTunes "Explicit" tag once in a while if a story really seems not to warrant it, and even then I usually go ahead and leave it on most of the time for other reasons.  But for the most part, I have a really simple system I stick to.  See:

A story manages to pass the rigorous Pseudopod explicit-content test.  (warning: link displays profanity)

And it's true!  It's pretty hard to find shit at Pseudopod.

You're just not looking hard enough. Thumbs up on the lack of a rating system. This is horror. I'm not coming here looking for Goosebumps.

All cat stories start with this statement: “My mother, who was the first cat, told me this...”

Agreed, rating not necessary. You make it clear on the PP site this ain't for kids.
