What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As a first-time viewer of the series, I greatly appreciate hearing the perspective of you all who know the show so well. Severance's specific cadence and mythology were kind of a barrier to my enjoyment for the first two episodes, but with this most recent episode (3), I'm now officially hooked. Listening to you and Karen after each episode has helped me to understand the language of the show, if that makes sense, and has added exponentially to my viewing experience. Aesthetically, the show is absolutely stunning. I think about each episode for days after watching, and your podcast provides that value-added extra dimension. Just keep on doing what you're doing! Plus, hearing you and Karen podcast again is a joy. Thank you!

Loved the coverage of Alien Earth and the coverage of Fallout so far! The hosts each seem to bring something different to the table and have a great chemistry. Love them all, but Randy and Kara frequently make me laugh out loud in my car. I like the structure of the podcast and appreciate that they don’t waste time needlessly recapping the show. Also a fan of House Podcastica podcasts in general and definitely recommend checking them out.

I love these podcasters. So insightful, thorough, fun, and funny, with great commentary, theories, and recapping. Really enjoy the follow on to the shows they watch, it extends my enjoyment of them! Can’t recommend Jason and the gang (Randy, Kara) enough!

Love this crew and their enthusiasm. Podcastica rocks and they cover a lot of great shows including white lotus which was my gateway episode into the podcastica universe 😁
