Fabulous show, best podcast out there to keep up with what’s new and good on streaming.

Ad volume is way too high. Shocks me every time. Do what tv shows are now legally required to do and keep content and ads at same volume.

I was really disappointed to hear that Daniel Feinberg wasn’t knowledgeable enough to understand the Ronna McDaniel firing. She was head of the RNC and supported the big lie that Joe Biden had lost the election. She was part of the coup and one of the masterminds of the Michigan fake collectors schemes. In fact, in her interview on Meet the Press she volunteered that she had lied about the election but it was because of her job. Each of the MSN pundits were incensed because they felt it was a violation of their integrity that she would work for the company that they were employed by. Mr. Feinberg how do you not know that? Go back and watch what Rachel Maddow said about the hiring of Ronna McDaniels. I think you may have a better understanding of the situation.

You both are way too concerned with the politics of Hollywood. No one cares!

I have been listening to/following Dan for over 10 years and for that reason won’t give a bad rating but I can’t stand how much politics Dan has been shoving down our throats lately. Stop mentioning Elon Musk. You are obsessed and it’s actually embarrassing. No one uses Big Sky or Threads or whatever else. Get over it please!!!!

I’ve been listening every week for years, love the up-to-the-minute insider’s industry reporting from Leslie, and enjoy Dan’s decades of experience and referential knowledge. Just one complaint: Please do NOT feel the need to gut-punch the excellent flow of your dialogue by looking up previous podcast episode numbers and dates, I’m begging you! If we care we’ll find it and save it, and the info is far less useful than your co-host discussions are. Thanks for this wonderful, consistent podcast week after week!

People complaining about baseball are legit whining about maybe 2 minutes per hour plus of content exclusively on television during the season. Leslie and Dan have a great dynamic and back and forth and lead to a very enjoyable podcast.

This is not a baseball podcast. Please have your baseball conversations privately. SO annoying!!!

The critic’s corner is now mainly Dan droning on and on about the shows he doesn’t like. No longer a great place anymore to find the good shows. And Leslie and the baseball.

Great insight into the intersection between content, platforms and entertainment in general. Just an enjoyable listen with fun personal anecdotes from smart hosts who have great chemistry.

I love the podcast but Dan talks so much!! I don’t understand why there is no discussion during the critics corner , Dan can become annoying to listen to.

Both of these hosts have very interesting things to say, but Leslie can’t help herself and interrupts Dan all the time. It’s incredibly distracting. I hope she learns some respect and restraint.

This show takes time to appreciate its greatest feature, which is its consistency. They may not reinvent the wheel but they inform and deliver weekly.

Great variety every week. Podcast appointment listening!

I usually skip the show runner interviews (just not me me). I do enjoy Dan’s takes and have for years. Boo the dodgers though, booooooooo!

This show is not about therapy but it is the best TV biz podcast ever!

This podcast is just the worst in every aspect. They don’t understand the show at all and clearly have zero background or knowledge of therapy. This was such a great show that left me feeling good, but listening to one episode of this cast made me feel angry and is threatening to ruin the whole experience. No thanks and please do better.

Most of this pod is these two complaining about how unfair it is to have shows they like but no one else watch get cancelled. No one watched that Amazon or HBO Max show. That’s why it was cancelled. Wake up.

One of the few podcasts I enjoy fully. I’m not sure but have you ever discussed CB Strike on HBO Max? Love that show.

This is where I get all of my TV news, and the vast majority of my baseball news.

always entertaining and enlightening. a must listen of my week. always a thoughtful and interesting perspective from both the editorial and business sides of television. congrats on 200 eps, can’t wait for 200 more!

I love this podcast and look forward to it every week. Dan and Lesley make a great team. Congratulations on your 200th episode and I hope there will be many more.

I am so glad I found this podcast! I have been looking for a place where I can get the scoop on all the streaming shows - it is overwhelming to try to keep up with everything that is available and so much is crap. This podcast is so enjoyable to listen to.

This podcast is great if you are remotely interested in the TV industry. The hosts are great and a good balance I think. However, unless we’re talking about A League of Their Own, I do not want to hear a single word about baseball. I don’t know who the crossover audience is but it’s not me.

This is the best podcast about television, from the business and critic’s perspective, that is available.

I love this pod. I look forward to listening to new episodes every Friday morning. It’s the perfect podcast for television lovers — but please (please) stop talking about baseball. There is a time and a play for that, brothers and sisters. That time or place is not here (please).

This is the best tv podcast out there. Love the format and the hosts. This is the first thing I listen to every Friday!

Dan likes Lot49 and Lesley likes baseball. There’s a lot of industry talk for those of us not in the industry. But overall my Friday bike commute wouldn’t be the same without these two fine folks discussing all things in tv land that I don’t even watch. Somehow it’s a calming routine and I’m happy it exists. How do they deal with the tension of having to talk to a show runner of a show that they previously or currently panned? Just fine. They’re pros. 5 stars

Very informative and rigorous. Sometimes too much baseball talk

Never miss an episode. Dan and Lesley are so well-informed, smart and fun to listen too.

Dan is witty and insightful (if occasionally excessively woke) and just generally one of the best TV critics out there. Lesley is...not my cup of tea (although there's potential for a fun drinking game involving her go-to phrases like "It's a mess!"). So it's implicitly a huge compliment to Dan that I generally listen to every episode, even as other podcasts slide down my queue for lack of time to keep up with everything.

This podcast is excellent, timely, informative and fun to listen to. If you love television, entertainment and inside baseball — this is your show. Lesley and Dan have well-known, working writers and show runners to discuss the creative and business process of TV. Keep it coming in 2022!

Don't miss it. Dan and Lesley are the best hosts. She's a reporter of entertainment news, he is a critic. They get the best guests to interview of anyone around. And the cover shows nobody else has seems to have time to cover in the superhero tv landscape like We are Lady Parts , Reservation Dogs, Starstruck , Better Things and baseball.

How they make this podcast so listen-able is a mystery! I always look forward to their episodes!

Been listening since the beginning and somehow never left a little reviewy thing. Easily my favorite tv podcast, both host are amazing, and it’s always the 1st podcast I listen too on Friday.

This is my mandatory podcast each week to keep up with entertainment industry news. It highlights major events, the guests are always super interesting, and Leslie & Dan know their stuff (and genuinely seem like nice and fun people). Love it!

This is by far the best TV podcast there is. I have been a fan of Dan’s since his pod with Sepinwall. That said I have really come to love Lesley and what she brings to the pod. First thing I do every Friday. Thanks guys

Loved the interview with Brett Goldstein. Thanks!

Was really disappointed in how condescending Leslie and Dan were to the olympics producer. They asked thoughtful questions but were really rude and pointed in some of their questions. Why would a producer be the one to make the call about whether the international olympics are happening? And if Leslie has so many questions about peacocks strategy why doesn’t she have a peacock exec on? The olympics have never aired on peacock premium so why would they pay gate it this year. Typically love this pod and the interviews are great was shocked at this interviewer

Hosts are terrible and annoying

I love getting a behind the scenes view on television! I love the two perspectives they give and I’m often introduced to new shows that I never would’ve found without the podcast!

Hello from Jamaica 🇯🇲 I listen every Friday and as a TV Junkie I thoroughly appreciate not just the guidance on what are the best shows to watch, but also the insights on what’s happening behind the screens via show runner spotlights and news. Re Friends Reunion - Lesley I like you would watch so many more hours of the Friends Reunion. It was fantastic, enough but still insufficient. Great Showrunner interview which lands so well having seen the reunion show. Thank you.

I like the back-and-forth with Leslie and Daniel, but sometimes the guests are not to my liking. Which is understandable. I do like their opinions, don’t always agree, but it is what it is. Good TV podcast to listen to, not my number one, but pretty good. To be fair Alan and Daniel were the best together but corporate politics, what you gonna do?

Great chemistry between two professionals. Manages to stay informative and easy to follow no matter how niche the subject.

They took the Oscar’s hostage after the Kevin Hart fiasco; now that show’s humorless and unwatchable. Listening to these victim mentality morons clutch their pearls over Chris Harrison makes me realize that we all better enjoy Biden while we’ve got him; this unconstitutional anti 1st amendment nonsense just drives voters away. I guess it’s fortunate that the planet is saved, everyone has access to quality education and affordable healthcare, so we can alienate people with these nonsense 1/2 of 1 per cent victim culture issues.

I love love love this podcast! It is the perfect blend of inside baseball TV business talk and creative content focused talk to me! It keeps me feeling informed without overwhelming me with too much detail but also never feels like I’m being talked down to about some of the finer details of the business stuff. Plus Dan and Lesley have a clear passion and joy for the things they talk about. It really feels like sitting with you’re slightly nerdy friends and chatting about the TV news of the week!

And Lesley is not a critic!! Seriously though, what a great podcast. I love each and every episode and they’re the best way to start the weekend. Lesley is the foremost expert on anything TV (and MLB!) and I always look to her at THR for what’s going on in the industry. From her excellent coverage of pilot season to her pristinely organized schedule of always changing TV premiere dates to the head spinning coverage of COVID production: she’s just the best at what she does. Dan is so down to earth and honest in his reviews I always feel assured in what to invest my time in. He watches a lot (and I mean A LOT) of TV that I never doubt when he says what’s great and what’s skipable. Please don’t ever stop telling people to watch Ramy!

Dan, I couldn’t continue to listen once you began discounting the competent, informative, refreshing first press conference of the Biden administration. Your remarks regarding Biden’s inaugural address were bad enough. It’s as though you’re bending over backwards to be the curmudgeon critic. I’ll come back next week and give my once favorite podcast another listen before I unsubscribe for good.

Left wing Garabge. This podcast hates half the nation.

Lesley and Dan are great hosts, giving plenty of insight into the TV landscape. They know what they’re talking about and allow us the opportunity to dig deeper. Great interviews and they allow their TV insiders the opportunity to talk! Love this one!
