The evolution of this podcast has been delightful. Brock and Eden have not only given us an inside look at episodes of The Middle, theyâve allowed us to experience their creative process. Their friendship shines through in a way that is genuinely uplifting.
The content of Patreon is đ (chefâs kiss). The Heck Report is both insightful and hilarious.
Thank you, Eden & Brock, for sharing your joy.
Cheers! đ„
Iâve been generally enjoying the show, though I sometimes feel Eden and Brock have less insider knowledge about the show than a lot of these rewatch podcasts. Still, itâs a nice way to pass a drive. But I just realized theyâre keeping certain standard episode recaps permanently behind the paywall. I knew when they did them as jump aheads theyâd be walled, but always assumed theyâd be on the main feed eventually. Absolutely crazy to make a show where the whole premise is to review every episode a... more

I love love love the Middle - it is on loop at my house with my family of 5 (husband, 2 teenage boys, and our dog - all boys and I/Mom am the only girl). We all love the show and I now tell my family the Easter eggs that Iâve learned by listening to the podcast. Eden and Brock are delightful, as are all of their guests. I canât wait for the podcast each week - gonna become... more
