Alas, I remember the days when Alan’s terrific blog had the rule of no politics in the comments. Glad this pod exists, but your mileage may vary, as the hosts take a very distinct view.

Hope this podcast breaks out

These TV critics are deservedly well-regarded and the podcast is well worth your time (consider checking out their Patreon to support them and get bonus content). It’s always interesting and valuable to hear insights from these professionals to enrich my understanding of good TV (and their discussion of Gilligan’s Island was fun and raised hopes that they’ll occasionally cover other pre-prestige TV rerun staples that live rent-free in my Gen X brain like the Brady Bunch).

Alan and Kathryn are two all-timers in the tv criticism game, but more importantly, in the TV talk game as well. And their podcast is a real Goldilocks of a gem. Enough structure to make it feel cohesive and not just a random hodgepodge every week, but not so much structure that fun and surprise are leached out of the effort. A joy to hang with Alan and Kathryn every week!

I follow exactly one weekly podcast and it’s this. Delightful.

You could not ask for better experts to guide you through TV’s past and present. Such a joy, so enlightening, and always surprising — hope they make more episodes than “The Simpsons.”

I love Alan & Kathryn. I’m excited they’re starting a podcast together.

TV is good, Kathryn is good (Alan you’re good too), I am now also good because this show exists 👍

I’ve been a huge fan of all of Alan’s previous pods, going all the way back to Firewall and Iceberg. The same familiar banter is back with this one, and he vibes really well with his cohost, Kathryn. I’ll definitely be tuning in each week!

TV IS good!

These are two of my favorite tv writers, and I’m so excited to have them on a podcast together.
