Too snarky. Too familiar. Too willing to shill. Then adding a person from a failed pod isn’t a great move.
They are all Dems obsessed
I began listening to The Ankler Podcast a few months ago and enjoyed it enough to listen to it occasionally. However, when I heard Lesley Goldberg had resurfaced after TV’s Top Five, I was stoked to hear her on the Ankler. Now, I never miss a show & always look forward to when the next episode drops because of Lesley. She’s a great reporter, sharp as a tack, funny, compassionate & ran my favorite podcast. The Ankler scored when they brought in Lesley.
The Ankler is my favorite podcast about the film/TV industry. I love the 360-degree view from all the hosts, and the humor. Every week I laugh out loud. I especially enjoyed Richard's episodes about the 90s. I only wish The Ankler came out twice a week (or more)!
I look forward to this show every Friday morning! Our Ankler friends bring a human perspective to this crazy business we’ve all gotten ourselves in, and are all genuinely charming!
