  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    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.

    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.

    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
