An overdue review

For three years now, I have listened to these two amusing souls delightfully, engagingly, and respectfully discuss a topic dear to the hearts of many, myself included. They have freely given me so many hours of honest joy; and if all they ask in return is a simple rating, I offer all the stars permissable. For anyone remotely interested in M*A*S*H, it is undoubtedly the finest kind of pod ever cast.

Thankyou, sirs ❤️

Best. Podcast. Ever!!

About six months ago, I found MASH on HULU and began to stream it. Having watched it as a teenager and then as a young wife and new mother, I had loved watching it but missed several episodes ; then I watched MASH on Hallmark during 2001. Now I find myself watching it over and over — when the movie is over I go right to the pilot episode and start watching it all over again. Why I’m doing this is a mystery to me, but I haven’t really spent much time trying to figure it out; all I know is that it’s comforting to me at this stage of my life. My mom recently passed away after I was her caregiver for 2 years. I had emergency back surgery. And I am trying to navigate some tricky family problems. Then, I found this wonderful podcast after doing a search! And I am very glad I did. Keep up the fantastic work!

Just started listening

I came to the party 5 years into the podcast and love what I’ve heard so far. I just finished rewatching the show yet again and still laugh out loud at certain scenes. Thank you guys for your dedication.
