  • Good fun

    Short, funny and well produced episodes, and a unique concept - and the overall lesson was a great life one for all of us. Loved this.

  • This was an entertaining listen, and a story about a sitcom I was entirely unfamiliar with. That said, the choices made by the people involved felt very relatable, certainly for someone like me who's worked in creative-adjacent roles for many years, and have seen what less creative people can do to an idea. more

  • Enjoyable and amusing

    I had never heard of Melody Rules before I started listening to this podcast (maybe because I live in the US?) but I am throughly enjoying learning about all the mishaps that went into making it.
