- Is this a joke?
The Wire is one of the greatest shows ever. It deserves much better treatment.
Are these two hosts serious? Did they listen to these before publishing. They sound like Beavis & Butthead with the incessant giggling, like 12 year olds talking about their favorite video game.
My God this is awful, embarrassing, and juvenile conversation. Atrocious. You could not have found two bigger nerds to host this thing.

These guys are amazing. So much detail. Incredibly well researched. Love the geography pieces. I’m sorry I found this so late. If you are a Wire nerd like me, this is very much worth your time. For those newer to The Wire, it would be a great companion to a first or second watch.

Tried but honestly hard to listen to this.
Very rambling. Do some prep. Make a plan. I live the wire…but this is just not compelling
