Customer Reviews
Paul & Liz Are Good Company
I’m working my way through these delightful podcasts. My favorites of the Columbo crop. Paul and Liz have a charming sibling rapport and bring warm conversation and real insight as they “wander” with Columbo. I appreciate the way they thoughtfully research each episode, and even though I’m a long-time fan I’m grateful for the discoveries I’ve made along with them. Their thematic snacks and drinks are just plain fun. Bravo, you guys!
Appears to be a show about snacks
I thought this was a Colombo podcast but I’m almost 5 minutes into it and they’re still talking about snacks. Vegan snacks and carrot juice. I feel like I have the wrong podcast maybe. I’m looking for a podcast about the television program Colombo.
Dynamic Duo
This brother and sister break down one of the greatest shows TV history. A “dynamo duo” breaking down Columbo in such a beautiful way.
