I’ve been following this podcast since the beginning and I l never miss an episode even after all of these years. The host asks really thoughtful questions and offers insights that make me feel like I'm in the room with the actors and he surprises the guests into looking at their material with fresh eyes. When the guests comment on how great the questions are and are taken aback by things they didn’t realize about their own show or their performance you know you’re onto something. The episodes always get me to see the Masterpiece shows in a new way that I didn’t expect. I do wish the episodes could be longer as I am always left wanting more. Keep this podcast going for another 10+ years!

I look forward to Jace Lacob’s interviews with the cast, writers, producers, and other creators of some of my favorite shows ever, especially All Creatures Great and Small. He does his research and asks great questions that make watching the shows even more enjoyable. It is clear how much he loves the shows too.

I loved listening to this interview regarding this last episode which expounded so much on her past and her feelings. She spoke almost as if she was being interviewed during that era yet I believe it is her reality of life today. That makes me realize how superficial many of our stars/celebrities present themselves and their lives. Ms. Madeley shows such humility, transparency and virtue. We think we have progressed to such openness and permissive to all, that we have lost innocence and boundaries that are for our virtue. CW

I enjoy the guests and the insights into the various masterpiece series, but the host sounds like he’s reading off a paper and he sounds less than thrilled, even bored and detached while he’s interviewing. It’s uncomfortable to listen to, because all the enthusiasm for the topic is coming from the guests. Needs a host with conversational manner. I would say get a new host…
