In depth commentary
In-depth television commentary and good chemistry result in an insightful listen. Must listen for serious television fans.
These ladies are AWESOME
I’ve been listening to this show for a few years, and I have yet to find a better fan podcast for The Americans. Rachael and Amberlee manage to keep a dark show with very heavy plot lines fun and engaging on a human level. I enjoy their banter and chemistry very much. I feel like they’ve become my friends over the last few years, even if they don’t know me. The research they do into the minutes of the show should not be overlooked. These ladies know their stuff. Whether you are a long time fan of The Americans or just discovering it for the first time, THIS is the podcast you should listen to.
