Welcome to Greendale: A Community Podcast
Michael and Jillian are big fans of the acclaimed cult comedy series Community, which first aired on NBC ten years ago. Sadia has never seen even one episode! Join these three friends (and occasional guests) as they discover and dissect Community episode-by-episode. New episodes every Friday! Cool cool cool!
It's hit or miss

It's a good podcast for Community fans, but I do find myself saying out loud, "You put way too much thought into that" more times than I have ever spent laughing at something they said.

I loved Community, but the hosts of this podcast are obnoxious. Thankfully, there are other podcasts doing far better tribute to this wonderful sitcom.
Feels like hanging out with friends

Love this podcast especially as I try to get friends and family to watch. Learning about small Easter eggs and hidden gems is the best (the pen thief!, Abed delivering a baby!). As Sadia, Jillian and Michael discuss the episodes, I feel like I’m in the room hanging with friends as they discuss the show but also go off on tangents like bidets, and Macallans neat. Thank you for doing this, I’m hooked and have fallen behind on my other usual podcasts.

My favorite part is listening to the Community fans fight the urge to spoil parts of the show to Sadia who has only watched up the the episode of the week! Great podcast. Well worth your time every time.
Be more considerate with your ad volume

I enjoy the concept of the podcast, rewatching one episode at a time with someone who has never seen the show. It’s fun overall. I strongly dislike how LOUD the ads are, a higher volume than the speaking volume of the podcast. It’s a ploy for the ad to grab your attention, but it’s really inconsiderate on the listener.
So close yet so far

Hard decision between 0 stars and 1 star but went with 1 because the format works well and the hosts have great chemistry. Their discussions provide good context for the episodes but the fact that they often (always?) ignore/minimize the main character of the show and completely ignore the major subplot of the entire series is beyond disappointing. Tried so hard to listen and really wanted it to get better but just can’t recommend it.
Massively entertaining journey through Community
04/07/2021
Michael, Jillian and Sadia, the hosts of this podcast, invite you each week into their obsession about TV’s Community as they rewatch the show. Or, more interestingly, it’s a rewatch for husband-and-wife Michael and Jillian, but Sadia’s never seen Community before! Each week she offers her hot take on each episode before all three dive into deeper commentary about their favorite moments in each episode. This structure, plus the obviously deep connections between these three intelligent, articulate and funny hosts makes for a deeply engaging, warm-hearted and throughly enjoyable podcast. Beyond just being fans of the show, the hosts have backgrounds in the performing arts, which adds an interesting perspective to their commentary. In addition to covering relevant behind the scenes details or then-current pop culture references, the hosts often hone in on the creative choices made by the actors and the scriptwriters. By skillfully mining and isolating Community’s rapid fire dialogue, they provide deeper insight into the humorously damaged personalities of its characters. And in so doing, they highlight the deep absurdities that makes Community such a deeply funny and enjoyable TV series. The best part of this podcast, though, is its sheer ebullience and infectious sense of camaraderie. Just as Community is a ray of sunshine, so is this podcast, and you wind up feeling like you’ve made three new friends in Michael, Jillian and Sadia. This isn’t just hands-down the most entertaining Community podcast, it’s great entertainment, period. And while we are all waiting for #andamovie, each episode of Welcome to Greendale will transport you back to the joy you experienced when you first watched Community.
Awful

Worst podcast that there is. I wanted to listen to a funny podcast about this lovable show community but the hosts turned it into a warped political podcast. Having your own political views is fine but they shouldn’t do it on this podcast that is supposed to be about community. If they wanna do a political podcast then make a political podcast. Can’t support this.
