  • Thank you!

    I watched ER when it was originally airing but I was young and didn’t pay much attention and let’s be honest, I don’t remember much about it this point! I’ve decided to do a rewatch while working. I love recap podcasts and was more than happy to find this one to listen to after watching each episode. You all are awesome and are helping me get through the work day. Keep up the amazing work!

  • Good podcast

    I was happy to find this podcast because I love ER! It’s my favorite show of all time. Please say Noah Wyle’s name correct! It’s so annoying that his name is mispronounced. Otherwise, a good podcast.

  • I want to like this more than I do…

    Having just finished The Pitt and rewatching ER, I was really excited to find this podcast. I’ve only finished their recap of season 1, so I’m hoping this calms down— but I just can’t stand how nasty these people are toward other people’s artistic endeavors. If all you’re going to do is complain about Boyz II Men being the top artist for an entire year— maybe cut that bit from your show. And they are just straight up mean toward day players who don’t have very much in the way of acting credits. ... more
