I just started watching pokerface for the first time about a week ago, so for you guys to be covering it now is quite serendipitous! I love y’all’s voices, takes me back to my semester abroad in Scotland 💙 and thanks for catching some cool shots and references that I would’ve otherwise missed!

This podcast is a refreshing take on an American classic by two gents from the UK. The choice of having a seasoned veteran of the show present the material to a newbie ads an extra layer of context, especially for those of us who are fans of the show and have also had the experience of sharing one of the best dramas on television with others who had yet to discover the excellence that is Columbo. There is the added nuance in this podcast of having gents from the UK react to 1970s Los Angeles and American television with a perspective we don’t often get to hear. It is especially interesting and sometimes quite entertaining to hear their take on the portrayal of Great Britain, its culture or of actors from the UK. I was disappointed when I ran out of episodes. I am looking forward to the new series.

Every other columbo podcast is unlistenable. In this and all the other shows they review, these guys do it right. Efficiently go scene by scene through the show, play clips, and engage in thoughtful fun analysis, and get out. No wasting 10 mins at the top talking about their day, no pointless digressions, no sweaty comedy. Just columbo.

I don’t know the first thing about these two fellows, but they are very interesting and entertaining. They are great with detail. There must be a half dozen Colombo podcasts, but so far I have found only this one and “Wandering with Columbo” to be worth listening to. I have also been enjoying the Star Trek podcast these two recorded.

Having grown up watching the original run, I really enjoyed Gerry and Ian’s analysis. They provide plenty to think about and I find myself wanting to jump in the discussion and offer my two cents. Only regret is I discovered this years after the original broadcast. Timeless- I’ll be re-listening for years. Love it!!!

The gentlemen approach each Columbo television episode with a clean slate. Therefore each podcast episode truly reviews & where necessary explains the content, devoid of telling the listener what to think. This show is not one of those boring play-by-plays which just describe the video using audio. My American ears didn’t take long to adjust to the rich Scottish accents & a quite naturally compressed, or quick, way of speaking. I appreciate the sharing of their perspectives & especially the genuine humor that is mixed throughout. Thank you, Gerry, and thank you, Iain.

I am a huge Columbo fan. This podcast is truly a labor of love, passion and simple act of kindness by Gerry and Iain. I am not a fan of Columbo episodes made during its revival in the 80s and 90s. As far as I am concerned Columbo ended after season 7. So, I’ve listened to all of the first seven seasons podcasts by Gerry and Iain a dozen times over the last couple of years. Gerry & Iain - a massive thank you for a fantastic job and giving Columbo fans such an massive pleasure.

I tried the other Columbo podcasts but Gerry and Iain are the best. They come to their mics prepared to discuss each episode, they keep their language clean, and they have solid commentary. They succeed where everyone else fails. When I finish this I’m going to start Fascinating, their Star Trek podcast.

Loved these guys almost as much as I love Columbo - just wish I had found this podcast when it was performed live. Because of these two gentle Scott’s I rediscovered my love for Columbo and that has been a great comfort for me during these difficult times. Thank you very much for all your work!

I’m going through genres, trying to find something new and stumble across this podcast. I haven’t listened yet, newly subscribed, but can’t wait! I used to watch Columbo with my grandma and now DVR the shows on the “old timey” networks. I’m floored! Just WOW!

I really enjoy this podcast so much! I am a longtime Columbo fan, and after discovering this podcast I have ordered the complete collection of Columbo DVD’s on Amazon! There are a few episodes on YouTube, so I like to watch a bit, then pause it to listen to the podcast of the same episode - it’s the best! I find myself laughing out loud at least once an episode, usually in agreement over something to do with 70’s culture, or something that the priceless, lovable Columbo has done or said. I love the hosts’ accents, they sound so warm and friendly. I feel like they are now friends of mine, watching Columbo and drinking coffee with me, maybe even on a rainy day. (If it would ever rain in Southern California!)

This podcast is a joy! I enjoy the rapport of our hosts. It is like being in a living room with them after watching the latest episode. Thank you!

I discovered this just looking for someone who liked Columbo as much as I did. It’s a great way to relive all the episodes. Threw the eyes of a new comer and a longtime fan. All there other podcast are fun to listen to as well. Faulty Towers and Black Adder being my personal favorites.

The two gents are very engaging and have many thoughtful and humorous things to say about their subject. I was inspired by this podcast to go back and watch all the episodes from the beginning, and my enjoyment was much enhanced by playing the podcast immediately after.

Very sharp : intelligent and interesting analysis of Columbo! Great fun.

Just discovered this podcast. Fun and interesting, great trivia, and always enjoyable to listen to. Thank you both!

As a longtime Columbo fan, I searched for a podcast on my favorite 70s show, and was more than delighted to find this one straight outta Scotland. Having just finished the full run I can truly say the lads never disappoint, and I had a great time reliving the series with them (through all of its highs and lows. Great fun, and a winning podcast experience.

I love these guys. I laugh out loud at least twice per podcast; like when they call out the BS things that Columbo or the characters do.

Gerry & Ian's imformative and thoroughly entertaining examination of the entire Columbo series from pilots to it's orignal series run and the revival series that followed it 10 years later is the standard by which I now evaluate all other series or show based podcasts by. Their friendly back and forth and genuine nature is probably my favorite thing about listening to their shows. I really love listening to an episode while i'm driving home from work and then popping in the actual episode to watch and compare all the great observations they've made and the trivia they've revealed. If you're even remotely a Columbo fan....this is the podcast you've been hoping for. It's so good, I just wish they would tackle ALL of my favorite shows from back in the day! Their premise for the Columbo podcast was one of them grew up watching the show and knew it inside out, the other had never seen an episode and had only the most general perception of the what the show was about. This is a really fun dynamic that plays out nicely from the first podcast all the way to the series finale. I still wish they'd give the original Star Trek series a go at some point because the dynamic would be completely reversed.......the Columbo fan from childhood never having watched Trek and the one who never watched an episode of Columbo is a full fledged Trekkie......... fingers crossed, some day!!!

But there are only so many Columbo episodes. May I suggest working on a Murder, She Wrote podcast?

You guys are wonderful! I enjoy watching the episode and then listening to the pod cast. Gerry and Ian offer a unique perspective that is so intriguing. Love you guys!

So much fun to watch the old episodes and listen to these guys debate the nitty gritty details of my favorite gumshoe. If you love Columbo, extend the experience with this podcast

These guys are funny, thoughtful, very enjoyable to spend time with. Since Netflix dropped the series (as of January 1, 2017), we have been compelled to take up other means of watching the episodes. (Desperate times call for desperate measures: The box set from Amazon, in this case.) Watching them more or less in order, catching up with Gerry and Ian, reading the discussions on the forums, I only regret the party is two years old at this point.

Enjoyed these two and their take on the show. They have great voices for podcasting.

Have always been big fan of Columbo. Just discovered podcast. Excellent! Thanks so much.

I missed this while the shows were being produced. That is a shame. This podcast is really great. The hosts are very professional and full of information. I have seen all the episodes of Columbo anough where i can replay most of them in my mind while they discuss them. Its always nice when there is a part from the show coming up and I am thinking "I really hope they discuss that part, it was awesome" and they do. So if you are a fan of Columbo this podcast is an absolute MUST! Thanks for this guys. You do an excellnt job. Peter would have enjoyed this. Just one more thing,........ do you guys have any other podcasts?

I just finished the run and I just wanted to thank you for makng the podcast and let you know how much I enjoyed it. Again, thank you very much!!!

Detailed episode summaries, insightful trivia, well-reasoned analysis . . . all delivered by a couple of affable Scottish fellows. This wasn't what I expected when I first downloaded an episode, but now I look forward to listening after every episode I watch.

I have found my Columbo people. This podcast has been fabulous to listen to. As I do with Columbo, I will be replaying episodes. I love the interaction between Iain and Gerry. It is great fun. Thank you. I did not find this until May 2016, wish I had known about it while this was live, but I love that I can binge listen. Keep up the great work guys!

I've just discovered this podcast. I'm new to Columbo like Iain and I'm working my way through the episodes in order. Now I listen to this podcast after each viewing and it provides me enjoyable critical conversation about the plot, plot mechanics, performances; all of which inform and enhance my Columbo experience. These gentlemen are a delight! Thank you for making this podcast.

This podcast is great fun. I really enjoy watching an episode on Netflix and then tuning in to hear what the boys have to say. Their affection for the show is a delight and I especially enjoy their season wrap-ups when they try to determine which cases would actually result in a conviction. Great stuff!

This is a fantastic companion to a watch through the canon of Columbo. It may be hard to find friends at home who want to watch Columbo and discuss, but Iain and Gerry are fantastic friends to listen to. Thorough discussions, thoughtful about plot, they do their research, and they have a great perspective of a long-time fan and a newer watcher of the show. A fantastic listen.

The format of combining a Columbo newbie with a long time fan makes for interesting conversation and insights. I enjoy listening to these episodes almost to the same level as watching the show.

Just discovered this podcast and am really enjoying catching up with the back catalogue. You guys are doing a fantastic job, keep it up.

I'm late to the game in discovering Gerry and Iain's podcast, which is embarrassing given that Columbo is probably in my Top 10 of favorite pop culture. With only Season 1 behind me, it's clear that the podcast is getting stronger with each ep, and there's plenty of fun yet to come. Thanks for a great show!

These two Scottish guys review Columbo episodes in sequence. They are fun and knowledgeable.

Highly entertaining episode recaps from two likable guys, one a Columbophile and the other a Columbo-newbie. Working my way through the podcast episodes while I watch/rewatch old episodes, they very often point out plot points that I may have missed. Top notch.

This is the Columbo podcast to listen to. The hosts are fun and bring in extra information about the actors and situations. Great job. I look forward to each podcast.

I discovered this podcast right before I went home to visit my family. I stayed with my father, who produced a jigsaw puzzle and suggested we work on it, reviving a very old and nostalgic tradition we hadn't indulged in for many years. While he was absent or taking a break, I would pour over the puzzle while listening to The Columbo Podcast gents analyze and dissect the puzzling plots of Columbo, and plumb the depths of why Columbo is so popular and compelling, another layer of puzzling. I managed to complete two jigsaw puzzles and listen to about sixteen hours of this podcast. They reinforced the pleasure that each activity gave me, and produced a terrific synergy. I need to add that the podcast hosts' Scottish origin added yet another puzzling element, listening to them try to figure out and extrapolate cultural differences that spanned not only the globe but time and decades as well in order to truly understand some of the show's context. Overall an extremely enjoyable podcast. I truly hope that once they have gone through all the episodes, they will continue the podcast with episodes taking up various topics that take on themes that could tease out why Columbo is such a satisfying, innovative and monumental television achievement. From an Anglophile in Boston, Cheers, mates!

I love hearing their opinions and interpretations of this amazing series. The hosts are fantastic, and I find myself feeling relief that I'm not the only one to notice the series' quirks. Great companion to a great series.

This podcast is hosted by Gerry and Iain, they located in Scotland. I love this podcast because it is informative, detailed and well done. The episodes are reviewed in order by season and by scene. This is RARELY done, and I can't wait for a new episode because I know it will be humorous and organized. I listen to a few more podcasts and none of them can follow any type of structure or even tell a person what actually happened in an episode without going off on an hour tangent or not following the order of the episode. I love it that this podcast is structured, organized and actually give facts about each episode. The reviews are accurate, insightful and enjoyable to listen to. I like it that they mention an actor/s name/s, mentioned the character they are playing in the episode because obviously the listener may not know the actors name but will know the character they played in Columbo or other shows. I can't thank them enough for actually staying with a great format and going scene by scene of each episode. Not enough radio shows, podcasts or blogs come close to how well done this podcast is. I enjoy hearing the convicted or not convicted conclusions that are mentioned after every season. I like both Gerry and Iain. I think I relate more to Iain's opinions though (I believe he is the younger host) He seems more open minded and a bit aware about women and minority struggles. I am both of these, so I like it that he sometimes points out certain politically incorrect actions. He is also a Star Trek and Star Wars fan, so that is a major plus! =) Gerry and Iain work very well together. I can't stop raving about this podcast and I hope even after the "Columbo: series podcast they continue with another series! I totally give this Podcast 5 stars!

Enjoy the in depth reviews of the exploits of Lieutenant Columbo.

Excellent listen. Good discussions about tangential topics.

Great podcast! Entertaining and informative. Good for a few laughs and nostalgia!

Every episode of this podcast is an absolute joy; it is a great supplement for someone like myself who has seen every Columbo episode multiple times. I’m really enjoying rewatching the episodes in time to listen to the podcast every Thursday. Fantastic work!

This is a great podcast, using a great premise—that of pairing a long time fan with a Columbo newbie—taking a look at the show episode by episode, in order of original air date. Well done, with enjoyable banter between the two hosts, who often have entertaining differences in points of view. First rate!

This is easily the finest Columbo related podcast to emerge in the last six months. Gerry and Iain are well-informed and entertaining, possess an irreverent and infectious fondness for their subject, and their affected Scottish accents are nearly convincing.

Iain, a newcomer to Columbo, kicks off each week with a great summary of a Columbo episode that he and Gerry then discuss in detail. Gerry provides a lot of interesting background on the cast and/or episode that is great for longtime fans. Together, Gerry and Iain walk through an episode in a way that makes you want to queue it up on Netflix right after listening to the podcast.

Because I can listen to two entertaining dudes and their take on one of my all time favorite TV shows. Keep up the good work!

Great job guys, been re-watching the show along with you and its nice to have another perspective. Lots of fun.
