A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Absolutely lovely podcast. Love the hosts & they adore The Simpsons just as much as I did growing up. They also have perfect throwback radio voices that really fit in with the residents of Springfield. Great audio clips as well. Can’t rave enough!

Lovely pod, I love the effort in every show along with the passion. Highly recommend to anyone especially their other content that isn’t Simpsons related if you’re not interested in Simpsons

Chrisgrav212 · Aug 2026

One of my favorite podcast! I love the Simpsons and I enjoy listening to the hidden details and history of the Simpsons. Both Henry and Bob are funny and know what they are talking about… however I do wish they would spend more time talking about Simpsons and the episode they are on and the overall history of it,instead of adding stuff that are not really related to the topic. I like the slight bit of politics too.

An incredibly well researched show. Appreciate that the structure allows them to bounce back and forth from golden era episodes to more recent eps.
