  • Take them to Brokenwood

    Tim Balme, give Sarah and Mike a cameo in a future Brokenwood Mysteries. Every week their podcast unlocks another dimension in which to enjoy the series. So even though I’ve watched each of your episodes multiple times, I go back after Mystery Maniacs and enjoy what I missed but they noticed. Take them to Brokenwood, you really should.

  • Loving all the Brokenwood content!

    The podcast is lighthearted, funny, and they do a great job poking into the “how it’s done” side of TV production, which is neat to hear. I’m really enjoying their ongoing Brokenwood Mysteries episodes; no idea how long they’re going to stick with the show, since it’s 10 seasons deep, but I hope they cover it all!
