The first time I’ve even been guilted into leaving a review (thanks James), but as this is the only podcast I actually pay for, I guess this is the one I should review! Love the mix of comedy bickering/bellend energy and the excellent TV insights and reviews. Particularly love the new ‘Boyd vs The Rest is Entertainment’ section, is this the new celebrity beef of 2025?!
Apple Podcasts5fiona_bucklandUnited Kingdom9 days ago - Superb
Whilst only recently discovering the Pilot TV podcast, I’ve fallen for it completely.
Excellent reviews, knowledgeable, engaging and fun. Great chemistry between the hosts. Great stuff. Similar in tone to the legendary‘Skip to the End’ podcast… and I can give you no greater compliment than that. 👍🏻
