A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I previously left a less positive review complaining about the choppiness in the editing in Season 1. After listening to seasons 2 and 3, it seems like they made a lot of improvements on this front that made it much more listenable. It really is a well done podcast, with a lot of good humor and good interviews from cast members - my mind is officially changed. 5*

Best podcast about the wire- hands down. Love the use of interviews with cast members as well as the interaction between Kobi and Dave. Some of the best editing I’ve heard on a podcast, very inventive and entertaining. Missed this show when they took a long hiatus between season 2 and season 3, so glad it’s back with additional Patreon content. Keep up the good work guys!

TheUltimateFunny · Feb 2021

This is an exceptional companion podcast to The Wire. I was very impressed & pleasantly surprised that they even incorporated commentary from the actors of the show! I am dismayed that there are no seasons past season 2, especially since the other Wire podcasts pale in comparison (I’ve tried them all). Come back!!

This is how you do a podcast reviewing a TV show/Movie. It’s interesting that this is done by Brits (well an Englishman and an Irishman) about an iconic show that’s a snapshot of inner-city life of an American city. Their outside perspective is refreshing. Using good-natured humor and relaxed rapport, we get to relive the episodes. And hear from cast members and others about a beloved show intermixed w clips from the episodes. A superb level of knowledge of the details of the show is but a part of the greatness of this podcast. The hosts enthusiasm for the show is infectious and keeps me smiling. Perfect for taking your dog on a run while you bicycle and enjoy their narration. We need to send them a care package of famous crab cakes, lake trout, old bay seasoning, blue crabs and ring dings. Thank you!!!! Much love to all involved. PS—keep the burner phone going! : )
