Customer Reviews
AMAZING
I am so grateful for this podcast. I have missed Scandal everyday since the series finale aired and this couldn’t have come at a better time.
This podcast is so fun, so revealing and such a throwback but learning so much about the making of a show, how the network television business works and how an episode comes together.
On a personal note, this show is also helping me with personal goals. I hate going to the gym but I now look forward to it because it’s the only place where I can listen to a podcast.
Thank you Goddess Shonda, Shondaland, Katie and Guillermo!!!!
Too many ads
Look i love the pod but the ads are really too much, too many ads and always the same ads in the same episode and week after week
Terrible
I am beyond disappointed. I love Scandal, because it is intelligent, well written, and showcases strong characters, especially women of color, which we don’t have enough of in leadership positions! Why the creators of this podcast decided that Katie and Guillermo would be hosts that do the show justice is beyond me. The amount of F bombs, constant crude sex talk, and just general goofiness belittles the shows creators, characters, intelligence, storylines, and complex dynamics. I’m totally down for some great stories and some fun on air but this is just well below expectations.
