Welcome to episode 3 of “The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television” where we delve into the torride tale of Drea De Matteo trying to launch some sort of Sopranos podcast! Jim and Jakob learn that it isn’t just as easy as coasting on your celebr... more
We have a very special discussion for you all this week! We are going all the back to The Sopranos pilot (“Those goddamn ducks”) but we are discussing it in comparison to the original script! Between the path of the show being developed, to eventuall... more
Paramount+ has released a new television series chronicling the making of one of the greatest movies in cinema history, THE GODFATHER. Jim and Jakob have discussed all of the Sopranos and recently the Godfather films so we get together to discuss the... more
Jim and Jakob watch and react to the finest commercials featuring the cast of The Sopranos! It’s hard out there for a working actor sometimes so the degree of quality is quite a range, but come along for the ride! This one might be best viewed on our... more

Jim and Jakob do a great job analyzing and celebrating this terrific TV show. Like Jakob, I am watching for the first time and I appreciate this format.
I’ve listened to every episode of Cut to Black, and was grateful to have the back catalog during the dark days of the pandemic. Talking sopranos on the other hand… I stopped listening to halfway through the first season. Mediocre, self-aggrandizing “insights” between half hearted ad reads for Bose headphones wasn’t worth my time. The “artist” and the “Everyman”🙄 … give me a break. I STILL listen to Cut to Black episodes daily. It has become a familiar and comfortable wind down at the end of the... more
This show is really funny. I can’t tell for sure but I think/hope Jakob finally realized it’s just Johnny Sack, not Sacks. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure Jim still thinks Tony’s mom’s name is Olivia. It’s just Livia, dude. Drove me crazy.
But I love the show.
I love PodaBing for it's loving attention to details, I enjoyed Talking Sopranos for it's insider stories (to a degree), but these two guys are so comforting to listen to, and they hit the right mark on analysis and opinion with personality that works. Great concept with the veteran and the n00b. Well done guys! five stars. (question, BURROWS? What kind of Swedish name is that? fill us in!!!)
When The Many Saints of Newark came out, I decided to do a sopranos rewatch. I tried a few companion podcasts, but quickly gravitated to Jim and Jakob. They recap the episode (which is great as I sometimes miss things), but also provide thoughtful analysis and opinions. As a bonus, they seem like good friends and it’s fun to hear them chat! I’m hoping to learn how Jim met a guy from Sweden (who speaks with no accent!), and why Jakob moved to Ireland.
Great analysis from Jakob and Jim. This is for those who enjoy Sopranos on more than one level. These gents look under the bonnet of everything from production to the hidden message behind different scenes. All this while not taking themselves too seriously. Excellent podcast !
You didn’t like Better Call Saul? That’s all I needed to know. Good luck, fellas 🤣🤣
Late to the podcast, but I recently started my fourth re watch of the series when I found you guys. Great insights, great commentary, and you guys have brought more things to my attention that I’ve never noticed before. Wish I would have found this when this started, I actually watched the series for the first time around the start of this podcast.
Jim and Jakob bring a ton of enthusiasm to what they do every week. They love the show, they do their homework, and they discuss it as fans - not as experts or as mafia wanna-bees. If you are looking to watch (or rewatch) The Sopranos with friends who appreciate the humor in the show as much as the violence than this is where its at.
86 hours is a super-long trip, consider who you are getting in the car with before you hit the road.
These guys have trouble comprehending the plot, never mind any of the many more complex (and rewarding) aspects of the show. Gavin has a little more on the ball than the co-host, but overall this is just not a good use of anyone’s time.

I have listened to every Sopranos Podcast out and this one is by far the best. Its great hearing the perspective of a first time watcher but still getting the complexities and the nuances of the all time greatest show. Keep up the great work fellas!!
This is a really amazing podcast. The two hosts give really great insights and have great rapport. They are able to pick out nuances that I initially missed. I only have two real knocks. The first one is that they tend to mispronounce some words that I consider pretty common. Unfortunately, I’ve found that in a lot of newer podcasts. The second knock has to do with the noises, like phone rings and alerts. That should be better managed.
Although I’ve watched The Sopranos several times, rewatching along with this podcast was a wild ride! The hosts & their humor kept me coming back for more on a daily basis & then when they made their first BTVS reference, I knew these were my boys!
I found this podcast after the celebrity ones began & those have been “on hold” for me ever since. I just finished Cut to Black today... I might have to do a re-listen to avoid withdrawals!
If joy do this again I would listen
