I’m listening in 2025! You just said, in episode 129, “…and if you’re listening in 2025…” well, here I am. 😊 Thank you so much for this companion podcast. It really helped me to have you all as “friends” in watching this incredible series. I am a latecomer to The Americans…and absolutely LOVED every minute of the show.
Please do more of the complicated shows that can benefit from your extra research in the times, gadgets, etc. What are you doing now? I miss your Podcasts and so many good shows could benefit from your analysis.
Due to the complex storylines and extensive communication of important facts through non-verbal communication in The Americans, it is easy to miss a lot of important details in every episode, especially when binge watching. I found this podcast to be an invaluable resource to listen to after each episode to help me process what I had seen and make sure I could follow the thread. Great show made even better by Chip and Sarah’s recaps, analysis, and extra info on tech and history.
I discovered this podcast alnost too late. It’s great!
Chip and Sarah love The Americans FX show as much as my wife and I do. Many listeners call in and leave comments as well as entertaining “crackpot theories”. Sorry that this wonderful show has concluded but the podcasts are worth listening to for anyone binge watching to find out what all the excitement was about.
