Best Podcast

I have just started listening to this podcast and it is so perfect! I love Merlin (have watched it since I was a kid) and it’s so fun listening to you analyse each episode and have some laughs throughout. You have some really interesting conversations about one of my favourite shows!
I don’t know if you watch Doctor Who? But it would be so awesome if you did a podcast just like this for Doctor Who! I’ve listened to a lot of different Doctor Who podcasts and if someone did one that was exactly like this it would be the best thing ever! (Second only to this Merlin podcast of course) 😊🥰 For anyone else reading this, I 100% recommend this podcast, it’s amazing!

Nuanced analysis

It’s been years since I watched Merlin but I‘m really enjoying the forensic analysis of the show by two passionate fans who aren’t afraid to be critical. Especially love the nuanced dialogue re: Arthur and Merlin’s and Morgana and Gwen’s relationships.

Just what I needed for my next podcast listen.
