The Official Gilded Age Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

5 ⭐️ tv show and 5 ⭐️ pod. Truly the best tv companion pod I’ve listened to. I love the tv series so much, I was poised to be disappointed by the pod, and gosh was I wrong! Both hosts are pleasant, curious personalities, and Tom is an incredible source of knowledge. The provided historical context is thorough and presented in a compelling, entertaining way. Hearing from the cast and locations for filming are my favorite. My only criticism is that I wish they would interview more cast members more frequently. Highly recommend.

This is a great pod, details are perfect for fans of the show, lots of BTS and historical context BUT…

The sound isn’t great. The intro music is way too loud and the hosts sound like they’re recorded on zoom, which is fine for the guests, but I expect better from the hosts and an official HBO podcast.

I love listening to these recaps! All of the additional information the hosts give regarding architecture, social mores, fashion, and culture of that time is so, so interesting. I hope GA gets a third season!

This podcast is very well done. I enjoy the history behind the stories. The behind the scenes maker interviews are all great. I look forward to hearing this show after every Sunday episode.

The second season of this podcast is, lamentably, as lackluster as the second season of the show. The podcast hosts sound bored as they read their clearly-scripted episode recaps, their questions for the behind-the-show-scenes guests are quite basic, and the overall podcast comes across as very unfocused, with paid performers going merely going through the motions. Which, sadly, is how the second season of the TV show itself also comes across. Disappointing across the board.
