What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The first episodes have been enjoyable interviews with creator and cast, but it’s introduced as a re-watch, and it’s certainly not that (yet). Jacqueline Coley is a good host and interviewer, and it feels more pitched toward a US audience, which is fine for me as an American, but others might want to keep that in mind. When the recaps start, I’ll probably come back to review it again.

Kaz_US · Mar 2022

As a big fan of Downton, I was so excited to accidentally stumble upon this podcast. I love the interviews and insights from the actors. My one complaint, and this is the only reason this review is a 4 star, is that the episodes are too short. I feel as though the eps could easily be 45 minutes to an hour and no one, who is a true fan, would complain.

DavidJamesAllen · Mar 2022

I discovered the show by accident and from the first episode I got hooked. Shortly after I got my parents hooked too (70 years.) Then my parents got my sister hooked too. We all watched to movie (lovely family memory) Now there’s this podcast and a second movie coming up?? This just made my year!

No tan adictiva · Mar 2022

Oh my goodness, I’m honestly hooked already. And I’m so jealous that I’m not the host! Haha! Such great interviews and in depth conversations. I can’t wait to hear more!

Cathmom3 · Mar 2022

Do NOT listen if you’re new to the show! This should be labeled as a strictly re-watch podcast. There are spoilers throughout from the very beginning. I would have given it 5 stars, but I found out about someone dying in the first few minutes! Now that I’ve finished the show, this is a fantastic podcast with interviews of the cast & crew.
