Because It Was On

The best podcast of all time!! There’s a few issues with some podcasts not being available anymore but please keep putting these episodes out!!!

I cannot get enough of Zach and Jessica’s insightful commentary and analysis of my favorite nostalgic shows. I feel so seen as an avid 90s tv watcher. These are exactly the types of conversations I like to have. I love that the subject matter varies from episode to episode; and I love they they draw so many parallels to current events. Looking forward to more and more content!

Zach and I are basically the same person; I do not know any other gay man who loves Touched by an Angel, so that’s a delight. Anyways, I do love this podcast. A lot of insight and fun; it’s second only to Gayest Episode Ever in my estimate. That’s a massive compliment, btw.

I love this show because it’s really the only podcast I’ve found talking about sitcoms in this way! I love most of the episodes except when Jess gets too heavy on the Tik Tok speak. But they also need to more research or have some experts on. I know this isn’t their full time job, but in the boomer TV episode they basically make an assumption that all boomers are conservative and therefore miss a lot of interesting reasons and conversation about why the sitcoms of that era were so important and the influence they had. Everything is painted through their opinions rather than from reading about these shows and looking at these shows from a scholarly lens. I’m a millennial and I know that not all boomers are conservative — and the ones who would appreciate a podcast episode about their generation’s sitcoms are going to be liberal. They’re doing a disservice to their own show by overlaying every analysis they make with a broadly “liberal” point of view.
