Foundation: The Official Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I am so glad I decided to listen to this podcast- it really enhanced my enjoyment of this wonderfully thoughtful and creative series! I haven’t read the Foundation books but did read Asimov’s Robot series when I was in junior high so I had high expectations. I am happy to say they were met. I made a habit this season of watching the episode, then listening to the podcast the next day and re-watching the episode with fresh eyes courtesy of the information gained in the podcast. Thank-you!

I listened to both the season 1 and 2 podcasts of the show and I thoroughly enjoyed them both. In many cases, the podcast caused me to go back and watch an episode (in some cases two more times!) to catch things I didn’t or to double check something said (Jason was wrong when he said that Harry killed Tellem with a rock!). I really enjoyed hearing show participants: actors, directors, writers, as well as David Goyer. The podcast added a richness to the viewing experience. Jason has great voice and interviewing style that I appreciated. I look forward to more seasons of Foundation.

Woah.

Let me start by saying that Foundation, the show, is absolutely phenomenal. I always love a good sci-fi, but this one grabbed me more quickly and with a premise I have found way more intriguing than a lot of other shows I’ve given a shot.

But this isn’t a review of the show. I saw mention of this podcast after some way in to season 1 and thought, eh, I need something to listen to while doing the dishes after the kids go to bed… I’ll give it a shot!

The host and show-runner have a chemistry that makes this an absolutely charming addition to watching Foundation! Every episode shows adoration for the material and what kept me coming back is seeing the absolute passion that has been put in to their work! The deep dives of the messages behind the story and where things might go make you listen, but the passion you hear and feel from all of those involved in this project make you want to stay!

It is an easy and strong recommendation for anyone who has enjoyed the show - a perfect companion piece to enhance your viewing and stir discussion!

As always… respect and enjoy the peace!

Just long enough to casually enjoy and keep up with. Sometimes podcasts about shows are full of bloat and their too long. This one is focused and consistently produced. Worth a listen.
