    1st Episode Starts at Season 2?
    I don’t know if it’s intentional but episode 1 of the podcast refers to S2 Episode 1 in the show. Warning, if you’re not there yet there’s some spoilers here! Bummer. I only gave 3 ⭐️because I’d like to know if theres a S1 E1 podcast episode.

    Love this show!
    Love this show, from the first time I saw it on a plane this summer, I knew it was superbly written, such an unusual unique show, was taken with it from the beginning, cusps to all involved. Love the podcast! I want to understand what the writers are hoping to portray, to see if I’m getting it right and also things I’m missing! so keep that in mind in future podcasts. Love to hear from the writers, I love the mix of laughing and sadness, emotional stuff, isn’t that life! I love how crazy and wild Deborah is! Can relate to her and Ava’s character, brilliant writing and love the visual lushness of the show! Can you do a podcast on season 1 please? I only see season 2!

    Extends the joy of the show
    This podcast is such a lovely complement to the show. The second season went by so quickly, but this gives me a great, fun way to rewatch the show a little more closely. Jean Smart is a treasure.

    Love a podcast with these creators
    This podcast is fabulous. Love hearing from those in the show. Also loved each of the guest hosts and their perspective.

    Atypical format, insightful and entertaining
    Big fan of the show on HBO max. Had to tune into the podcast. Does not disappoint. Weekly guest hosts bring a nice twist to the format. The creator/writer/director trio share delicious behind the scenes tidbits in each episode. Give it a listen.

    Next season…
    …No guest hosts! Just find a great interviewer. Just have the creators/writers/main actors being interviewed. Fans want to hear scenes dissected and insider stories, not the writers interviewing a guest host (who was maybe in the show for 30 seconds) talking about how they broke into comedy. Thank you. Hacks is the best show on television.

    Love Hacks and the Creator Hosts
    Let’s face it, Jean Smart is an American Treasure, and Hacks was easily the best new show ( ok, neck and neck w/ Abbott Elementary) of 2021…PERIOD. I normally don’t enjoy companion podcasts to popular shows, but this one does what the concept was made for: Super Fans who love the insider info., reflections on casting, writing room chat, super fan celebrity guests and so much more. If you love Hacks, you’ll love this pod.

    Fun Listen
    It’s fun to get to know the characters and actors on a personal level. Nice break from my usual true crime obsession.

    Insightful and Well Produced
    Absolutely love the show and hate when the episodes ends. The podcast helps with that withdrawal. The inside perspective makes melove the show even more.
  • Lovedachshund

    Fix levels please!
    Volumes are super uneven between interviews and the clips from show, pls fix! Feel like I constantly have to move volume up and down. Thanks!

    Love this inside look!
    Big fan of the folks from Broad City, so was very excited to hear them all on a podcast. Loved hearing how they write the show and come up with ideas. Can’t wait to hear the rest!

    Waste of time
    Mediocre audio and too many insider writers room ‘jokes’ and too many voices at once and no real insights into the show combine to make this a waste of time.
