What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Hacks is my all-time favorite TV show, and I love this podcast that dissects each episode. It’s great to get inside stories and insights into the show from its creators and the actors.

I realized watching this show what great television can do for people and relationships. Thinking about Jean Smart made me realize that. I can remember Tuesday mornings with my mother talking about designing women and how much we love the show after I would stay up late on a school night to watch. That show, much like Hacks, detailed dynamic and complicated relationships, between powerful women. That’s the same reason I fell in love with the first time I saw it with my wife and why I still love it today. I’m going to miss those characters and I can’t wait to see where they go in season four. I do think the Emmys tend to get it right, but I don’t know how they’re gonna be able to split the best actress award between Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder - if there is any justice in the world, they would both win. Thank you for the show and all you do. See you next season.

Big fan of the show on HBO max. Had to tune into the podcast. Does not disappoint. Weekly guest hosts bring a nice twist to the format. The creator/writer/director trio share delicious behind the scenes tidbits in each episode. Give it a listen.

Let’s face it, Jean Smart is an American Treasure, and Hacks was easily the best new show ( ok, neck and neck w/ Abbott Elementary) of 2021…PERIOD. I normally don’t enjoy companion podcasts to popular shows, but this one does what the concept was made for: Super Fans who love the insider info., reflections on casting, writing room chat, super fan celebrity guests and so much more. If you love Hacks, you’ll love this pod.

I quickly became a very big fan of the show hacks so I figured this would’ve been a good opportunity to really take a deep dive and enjoy breakdown of the episodes. However, this particular show falls into the category of other official podcast where they don’t actually talk about the episodes. They have guests on that they interview, but it’s really more about the industries and it actually is about the content that you came here for

Torn Utu · Sep 2025

Much preferred the format of previous seasons with the showrunners and/or fans hosting the show. The new hosts imo don’t fit the vibe of what Hacks is about, and their analysis of the show has been much more surface level compared to previous seasons.
