After being a bit Podcast burned out over recent years of over-saturation- I plugged into yours on the Anne Rice Mayfair Witch TV series! LOVE LOVE your GREAT interview style, questions, ability to bring out the most interesting details and personal self disclosures from guests, and just having a ‘fun rolling good time and taking us with you’ Podcast style!!!- I’m hooked, won’t miss an episode, and now will tune in to any of your future Podcastings! THANKS for bringing back entertaining, intelligent, and interesting Podcasts Ms Amy!!!

I grew up watching re-runs of “Dark Shadows”, read Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”, and Sookie Stackhouse novels. All I enjoyed.I also watched the cinema version of “ Interview with the Vampire “, which I chuckled all throughout. Actor Tom Cruise as Lestat was laughable and Brad Pitt in his early acting career couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag. That movie convinced me to bypass on reading Anne Rice’s novels. However this AMC TV series convinced me to order all the books. The superb casting, historical context and excellent script has indeed enthralled me. The Podcast host, Naomi, positively influenced me even more. She engaged her guests with thought provoking and intelligent conversation. It was illuminating and fun to listen. Thank you. Very eager for Season Two.

The criticism: The host cuts off the guests and can’t seem to stop talking long enough to let them answer questions. This got better after Bailey Bass, who I felt a bit sorry for. The “hard hitting journalist” joke got old the second time it was said… and she uses it in every episode. Yeahhhh, she reuses all her jokes over and over. She can’t seem to stop talking about herself. Some of these podcasts could have been half the length if she had been edited better. Was anyone editing or directing her? We could have had so much more guest content. Let’s face it, that’s the main reason why we’re all here. Also, after alllll the bragging about how much she loves horror and IWTV it becomes obvious after guests reference things from the books, that she hasn’t read them! At one point she even says she had no idea about something that is right from the book. One more thing. Can the voicemail beep be a little less jarring? A little EQ and less volume would make it less shrill. The positive: Wonderful, wonderful guests. Fun interviews, when the host let them speak. Great and really entertaining information about the wonderful show. As much as I was disappointed with the host I still listened to all the episodes. It did get better toward the end. It’s a 5 star podcast with a different host.

Thank you for opening up this story I grew up reading and watching in ways that I never thought possible. The inclusion and diversity coupled with Anne’s expansive universe makes for a whole new experience for us. I’ve read every book in the series and this show is a whole new adventure without diminishing the original work.

Kc lameness · Nov 2022

The Mayfair Witches TV show is, quite simply, not in the same galaxy as the books. No one talking on this podcast seems to know, respect, or care about the “source material” at all. While modernizing the casting choices could of been admirable in some respects, the changes to the story line, overarching themes, motivations, etc are unforgivable and no amount of explanation from the show runners or cheeky commentary from the host will ever make up for it. This show needs to be scrapped and redone, and these writers need to pick a new field of work.

Lauramoosh · Feb 2023

The IWTV show host was OK and funny and good with her guests … but the host for TMW is utterly annoying! Not to mention, she proclaims herself “A Witch in Training” but clearly does not know the book material, doesn’t seem to know about basic witch history facts and barely seems to pay attention to points of the show. Plus…I listen for information about the show (as underwhelming as it has been)… not the politics of the host and her guests!
