Band of Brothers Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I came upon Band of Brothers later than most as I didn’t have HBO at the time of broadcast. I’ve watched and adored that series multiple times a year. This Podcast is the ultimate companion for that masterpiece. Truly a work of art in its own right. Anyone who has watched, absolutely must listen to this

Must listen podcast and must watch show. I just finished the tv show for the first time and was hoping they had gone back and done something like this. The podcast has been excellent. It is incredible to hear all the behind the scenes stories and accounts from the actual war. Can’t recommend enough!

My husband had showed me the show while we were dating about 10 years after it had come out. So so good! So I was super excited to hear all of the interviews and behind the scenes stories from the actors and show runners. Looking forward to watching the show again for the 2nd time now that I’ve heard the entire podcast.

The only reason I’ve given this 4 stars is because of the host. It took me a few episodes in to get used to his voice. It felt like I was listening to a game show host the entire time. I pushed past it because I really wanted to listen.

This may be his actual personality, but podcast hosts are more subtle than this especially when you’re expecting to hear a podcast with this kind of content. They needed a different person for this podcast.

Everything about this podcast is enjoyable. The host’s enthusiasm and knowledge about all things BOB is appreciated. Listening to the cast’s experiences deepens the perspective of this film and the makers who created it for the ages. The respect and awe felt toward the veterans is deeply moving. Melding history and film at it’s finest.

I was so looking forward to this podcast as I started to rewatch Band of Brothers, as the interviews with cast members looks fab. Unfortunately, could not get past host Roger Bennett, who is like an old school morning tv host, in that the whole format feels very scripted and he has his questions on a cue card, and just sort of jumps to the next question after the guest answers without really having a conversation with the guest. One of the lovely things about podcasts is that they are usually more informal which gives you have a chance to get to know the guests better. Conan O’Brien is a good example of a host who adapted his style for podcast format. Unfortunately, Roger Bennett did not. I expected more from you, HBO.
