  • Great!

    Sometimes I think the episodes are too long, but in reality I love all the segments, I love the hosts and them going off on tangents, I love the jokes and the opinions/strategy on wagering. Wouldn’t cut a thing. It’s become one of my favorite podcasts, even over the official Jeopardy podcast! Their Patreon is worth it, too!

  • Enough Already!

    Emily, you are a ray of sunshine, really funny! John, we get it, you hate us. Maybe not try so hard to get on a show based in the US. It’s getting really old. I hate what’s happening here but the constant digs several times an episode are boring and really tired. You need new material.

  • Fantastic

    I just started listening to this because Emily was on another podcast I love (I Said No Gifts) and she was delightful. Even though I love Jeopardy I wasn’t completely sold on the idea of a Jeopardy recap podcast but it’s actually amazing and fun and both hosts are great.

    Great show. Emily is wonderful.

    John. Stop with the lectures and talking tough. Fifty American dollars. One hundred American dollars. Leave your lame beefs with discord losers off the show. No one cares.
