I really enjoy hearing these two intelligent, wordminded people talking about the meta of shows I enjoy from a sociological angle and to hear what they think about behavior and scenes. I often get new viewpoints and perspectives. It‘s so much more than the narrating of the show and I watch spinoffs like love is blind Germany just because there is Shandy-Content for them.
Care about something.
Long time listener and I love y’all and the pod, but please break up the huge episode drops!! Five at a time is crazy! If you did two or three at a time, I wouldn’t have to wait until I make it through a whole drop to listen and it would give us more episodes to listen to. Go ahead, draw it out! I don’t understand the push to have a pod episode out the moment streaming episodes drop.
Highly recommend
