'The Wire': Way Down in the Hole - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I can’t imagine two better hosts for a Wire podcast. Jamele and Van’s commentaries are incredibly insightful and informed, really funny too. They’ll have you examining the show (and life) in new ways all over again. A perfect pairing

Best compliment I can give is I’m rewatching for 4th time through but enjoying it even more while listening to each pod to go along with every episode. These 2 hosts are cool, they seem to know the game too. Clever breakdowns and also relevant social commentary.

I recently found this podcast and I am truly happy I have. The analysis of each episode and character breakdown is top notch. The perspective I have for people living in these situations in real life has changed based on their insight. I am thankful for the education you are giving me on both the show and real life.

For the most part this is a very good companion podcast but only if you’ve already seen the show. They definitely spoil some important ish. Other than that, Van man, get to the point. This dude always sounds like he is just about to offer some really important point and he pretty much never does. He’s all sizzle and no steak. Hill is really good though. Really smart analysis. Overall this is great for those who have seen The Wire and are going back for a deep dive, which I have done.
