I just discovered that podcast – and I love it. Besides lots of side stories, trivia and a „piku“ you get the story of the week, some kind of background information, ideas and discussions about decisions in the show, some nitpicking, a nice rating at the end of each part... and a lot of fun.
Jesse, Janis, Kathy and Karen know a lot about “Castle” and its universe, and they obviously love their show. And even although the hosts of the podcast sometimes do not agree with some of the decisions of the writers, producers or the network, they seem to value those decisions and accept nearly all of the characters of the show – besides Pi ;-)
The witty and intelligent discussions and sometimes crazy theories about a change in the plot are fun, and I enjoy it :-)
feb 2014 – in addition
After half a year I learnt quite a bunch of knowledge about American film history, got to know some pretty interesting shows and poscasts…. and rewatched many of the old black and white movies, started watching Dr. Who and Farscape … In short, by following the podcast you get more than only background knowledge about “Castle”, a heated discussion about a plot, a wedding dress or some character of the show. Sometimes this fact leads to dialogs getting out of hand, but usually Jesse or Karen quickly take the bus back to the track.
After trying different podcasts about “Castle” that is the one I enjoy and suggest to give it a try…. However, you have to live without the “piku” – as Pi is no longer on the show ;-)
