  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I found this podcast after listening to their first interview with Kevin and Jenna on ATWYRM. Since then, I’ve binged all of the episodes and have been a loyal listener every week since catching up. I love the fun banter and the deep dives Andrew and the guests do about the songs, characters, and story of Glee. The show was a cornerstone of my young adult years and I love revisiting it from a new perspective all of these years later.

  • (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life Listening to this Podcast

    Gleek of the Week is one of My Favourite Things! I Can’t Fight This Feeling any longer and have to share my Endless Love for this podcast. It would be Misery to exist Without You.

    If you understand any of the references in this review, listen in and you won’t regret it. If you’re confused, listen in and prepare to be Gleducated (that’s Glee educated, haha).

    In all seriousness, I love this podcast and have listened to all the posted episodes multiple times. I am a Glee music enthusiast and th... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Glangry Scale" (Live Episode)

Proud Mary, because it encapsulates the joy of the group.
"Clocking the Grieving" (w/ Claudia & Conor)

"The Combover That You Know" (w/ Recovering Gleek)
Q: How do we feel about the episode Tested?
The episode was criticized for being the worst due to character assassinations and incoherent plots.
"Glee Casting Breakdown" (w/ Robert Ulrich)
Q: What did you think about the role that Robert cast for Naya Rivera as Santana in Glee?
Naya's character was in the script initially, I don't think anyway. She came in and sang for me and then I guess we took her to Ryan, but she was incredible and I was always very behind her.
"Glee Casting Breakdown" (w/ Robert Ulrich)
Q: With a character like Mercedes, you mentioned it was very difficult to find an actress to satisfy that role. What was it about that role that was tricky to cast for?
We just, you would think it would be very easy. We think, I don't know. I don't know. And Ryan was specific and it was just hard. Nobody sang well enough, you know.
