The Leap Home - A Quantum Leap Podcast

I very much enjoy this funny, interesting, thorough, and thoroughly entertaining Podcast, although as others have pointed out, Quantum Leap is a problematic show. But I’m watching it so I can listen to the Pod. Can Al please stop talking about his ex-wives, hitting his hand-held computer thingy, which has never, not ever, been funny, and ogling every female who walks by? I just want to punch him in the face. And Sam should stop grabbing vulnerable women by the shoulders. But I love the Podcast!

These guys are great. They have some issues with Quantum Leap, but who doesn’t? QL is a weird, often frustrating show.

After my love of Columbo brought me to their Columbo Podcast, I have kept up with Ian and Gerry as they discussed Black Adder, Star Trek, and now Quantum Leap. This is the first show they covered that I was not a big fan of, but rewatching it along with Ian and Gerry is a fabulous experience. Along with interesting trivia and connections between cast and crew with other series- they have great insight into the cultural differences that have occurred since airing and some problematic attitudes and views. While I am still not a fan of Quantum Leap, I am a huge fan of Gerry and Ian. If you haven’t checked out their other Podcasts- you absolutely should.

Gerry & Iain bring a fresh perspective to familiar TV shows. I got hooked on their friendly banter and their Scottish brogue while listening to The Columbo Podcast. For every Columbo episode, G & I provided a detailed analysis of the plot, information on the actors, production details, plus a consideration of how well the episode holds up in the light of today’s sensibilities. Fascinating? was their last podcast series where they brought a similar blend of information and analysis to the original Star Trek series. I look forward to being similarly entertained and enlightened in The Leap Home.
