These two take the cake! Casey & Vicky make a perfect team. 🫶🏼 They are truly devoted to this story. Every episode is critiqued and I enjoy listening to their back and forth commentary reviewing/comparing tv series & novels. They don't disagree much, or rather, it's done in such a loving way that there's never an argument. It's just mutual appreciation. Like two peas in a pod. 😎👍🏼 I just finished viewing the 8th episode of season 3 and i have NOT read any of the books. So to Vicky, yep i am one of those people who can just watch it. Lol. I have no idea what's to come! I'm also a generation older (i missed the millennial cutoff) and i find it interesting how different my take is on this whole love fiasco....not to mention the main characters...omg u guys adore Belly and I swear she tries my patience. 😮💨 What a pickle that one has gotten herself into! Good grief. Taylor is a steadfast pal. Sure she's flirty but she's not nearly as deceitful as Belly (who I think lies to herself even!) as for Connie & Jer...oh man. I'm pretty on par with your discussions regarding those Fisher boys. Steven, on the other hand, I had to warm up to. Out the gate his "all that and a bag of chips" attitude made it really hard for me see the kind soul underneath. It's a fun show that literally none of my friends watch. I guess they're all too mature now. 🙄 As if. I'm grateful for this spectacular in-depth podcast! A+ (with a scratch 'n' sniff sticker) 🍓🍰

I came across this podcast so late! Wish I had listened to it from the very beginning of season one. I love how everything is broken down. They covered some stuff I didn’t get from watching and it and made complete sense. Especially how they talk about the music. Love their interpretations of the lyrics with that exact moment in the scene.
TexasRN- · Sep 2025
Such a thorough review and recap of the episodes relative to the book. Expresses exactly the same feelings I have for the show’s characters. Also, analysis of the music as it relates to the scene. Thanks for your dedication. Btw, I’m with team Bonrad. 🏄🏻♂️🏐
SophiasChoice · Aug 2025
Not only am I addicted to TSITP but now I’m also addicted to this podcast! Vicky and Casey are the most fun, hilarious, and on point commentators on our favorite TV show and I can’t get enough of their takes and breakdowns. Who wants to listen to a solo host when you could listen to a husband and wife banter back and forth, rate scenes and characters, make predictions together, pick each other’s brains, and give both male and female perspectives on the plot developments. The best part is Casey is genuinely invested in this show and honestly who else can say that about their husband!
