What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

but I watched the original series with my wife as it aired. I’d been wanting to revisit the show and this podcast was the catalyst to do that. I’m just finishing S1 and still trying to decide whether it’s better to watch the episode before or after the podcast episode that reviews it. Really loving hearing about show through the eyes of the people who made it what it was. The guest appearances have been wonderful.

I accidentally discovered this podcast earlier today, and have been binging it all morning. I love it!! I miss This is Us so much (despite rewatching the entire series a couple of times a year), so reliving it with the people who brought me so much joy and so many tears is so special. It’s so good!!

lalalalalalalalalalalaura · Feb 2026

This podcast is delightful. I love being reunited with these three lovely people. I love how much they enjoy being together, and it’s so fun to revisit and experience the episodes in community with the actors and their guests from the show.

CRZIEG · Feb 2026

Loving this SO much. Just discovered it and am binging to catch up. Just started re-watching the show with my 12yo daughter (her first time) and we are so moved. I had fallen off midway through season 3 during the original run bc it was getting “too sad” and life got in the way. Listening to the podcast is steeling me to watch all the way through to the end this time. Mandy, Chris and Starling are a DELIGHT. You can just FEEL their mutual affection for one another seeping through your AirPods. Such a different and deep, beautiful experience watching with my little girl. ❤️
