Jessica Radloff does an excellent job of interviewing many of the key players who made the show one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. The insights into the back stories, how and why decisions were made, and how the show impacted them are interesting and informative. I usually go rewatch each episode that is the topic of the podcast. The pace is good and they’re never boring.
We are huge Big Bang theory fans, we have watched the whole series at least six times and have it in the background when we’re doing other things. I’m really enjoying this podcast. It’s very informational. The people have been great. I only have one problem with the podcast two many commercials during the commercial break. Keep up the good work and I am listening.
Jessica is really good at keeping this moving and making the guests come alive, because some of them don’t understand that a podcast is for sharing insight. I just wish it was a video format. But overall really like it, and kudos to Jessica for keeping it entertaining!
My enjoyment of this podcast changes from week to week thanks mostly to the guests. Some of them are pretty dull and it’s up to the host to carry the show and try to extract anything from them apart from, “I don’t remember.” But every now then you get a guest who actually seems excited to be there and a real conversation gets going. Those are the best episodes.
What’s sad is, I continue to listen every week, however the show is really not all that good. I LOVE TBBT and the book was excellent. But the podcast is just bad. I like hearing behind the scenes stuff but most of the time, you have to sit through 40 mins of nothing to get a couple minutes of something. You can probably get everything this show will go over by reading her book. First off, it’s purely a “plug” for HBO Max. Granted that who funds the show so it makes sense. But telling us 4-5 times PER EPISODE, that it’s on HBO Max and that where we can watch it is overkill. Second, some of the guests are great! But the episodes they go over started 20 years ago so most people don’t remember what happened on set. I actually get excited when Jenn asks if “X remembers” and the answer “yes” (which has only happened a couple times). Third (and this is probably my MAIN complaint), it’s OK to do a “standalone episode” where you discuss a persons time on the show without it being labeled as a rewatch episode. For example, there was one episode where they were supposed to be talking about what happened in the episode , but the ENTIRE show was about hair and makeup. That’s totally fine to have an episode about that, just don’t lure me in with “we’re going to talk about episode ABC” and barely even mention what happens on the actual episode. Make it a “one-off” episode and go back to the “rewatch” next week. Finally, the “games and quizzes”. It’s rather cringey but, At least, get new material. I’m pretty sure the first like 10 episodes had THE SAME questions for each guest. I could almost stop listening once they got to this part.
I really enjoyed reading Jessica‘s book but this is losing steam fast. I want it to go to the distance, because I wanna go through every episode! I think they should shift gears and treat this as more of a rewatch. Breakdown the episode, and have your guests talk about more behind-the-scenes details! I also think there needs to be a co-host, she’s not the it girl you want as a host. Like a character actor - good, but not enough to lead. There are too many ads for such a short episode of a podcast, there’s no flow. Also, the quiz at the end has run its course.
