  • Love this!

    Daily Michelle Collin’s listener AND love Brit Box and English show. And love “getting to know” Edith. Makes me want to watch the shows I haven’t seen yet. And, Brenda Blethyn interview - so good!

  • Good But Also Kind of MEH

    BritBox requires two things from you: 1)Know the shows the hosts are talking about and 2) Be a Huge Michelle Collins Fan. I had not seen the shows referenced in the first two episodes and the podcast did not drive me to want to watch them. Becuase I have no point of reference, the show just didn't hold my attention and I will be curious as to how well it does given that a majority of Collins' followers are Americans who may not be BritBox subscribers. As for being a Michelle Collins fan, I wa... more

  • Love the chemistry between these two

    Michelle and Edith are one of my fave pairs of cohosts. First off, love their voices. So pleasant. Music to my ears. Second, both are so witty and charming. I want to hang with them sipping lemon drops and watching Britbox.

  • Best New Podcast!

    These two hosts have an unmatched chemistry! They ask amazing questions and their American and British point of views really help unite lovers of British culture and cinema. They provide great insights into the intersections of how American amd British culture influence one another. This should have its own timeslot on tele or permanant addition on netflix or similar platform! Cannot get enough, need more episodes!
