Nobody Likes Onions (commonly abbreviated to NLO) is an American podcast created and hosted by stand-up comedian and rapper Patrick Melton. Melton addresses humorous events in his life and satirizes current events, pop culture, other podcasts, and even the show's fans. NLO's tagline is "It's like taking a cold shower in sarcasm."
In addition to downloads that are free on iTunes, NLO broadcasts live shows online at various dates and times. Some episodes are available for free, and other shows, created as bonus content, are exclusively available to members of the paid subscription service known as The Overdose. Live shows are currently broadcast over Ustream, on the Nobody Likes Onions website, and on the Nobody Likes Onions app, which is available on iTunes and on Android. Episodes are also uploaded to YouTube.
One of the longest-running comedy podcasts, NLO won the Best Comedy Award at the Podcast Awards in 2007.
