  • I’m here for Joanna!

    I started listening to this podcast when the brilliant Joanna Robinson came over from Vanity Fair. She takes podcasting to a new level. I especially love her episodes with Mallory Rubin covering The Last of Us. Hope they’ll cover more HBO shows together!

    Update on 12/25: For more Mallory & Jo content, head to House of R. Also a shoutout to Rob, I love their (Rob & Jo) podcasts together too. Looking forward to all three covering Buffy next year on House of R!

    Stop! Please Stop

    Stop saying Ummmm

    I know it’s a crutch but come on. We play a little drinking game whenever you say Umm I have to take a shot, now I’m a raging alcoholic!

  • Essential listening

    So pleased to have found this pod. Was searching for information to satisfy my craving for information on Pluribus (no one I know is watching the show) when found the pod. Great insight and engrossing conversation. Thank you!

  • Balanced, on-point commentary!

    I look forward to the Prestige TV Podcast each week. Jo is one of my favorite prestige TV commentators and Rob Mahoney is a nice counterbalance. I appreciate the fun, concise, extemporaneous banter! Also enjoyed the Richard Lawson episode —yes please, to having him back in conversation with Joanna on our favorite shows!

  • Lack of content

    Considering how many new shows are out there across all streaming platforms, it’s disappointing that this podcast only seems to ever cover 1-2 shows at a time. “The Bear”, then “Task”, now “Pluribus”. And like others have said, much of the commentary feels recycled from other podcasts or subreddits.
