Customer Reviews
Jason Tartick !!
Great podcast with Jason! We love him!! ❤️❤️
Soooo Interesting
Every interview is excellent . Many of your guests I have not been familiar with . But I was happy to hear their life story !
Look forward to it every week!
Love this podcast! I enjoy hearing from all the guests and learning more about the behind the scenes, especially after rewatching the British and US versions multiple times during the pandemic. Always great to hear the perspectives from so many departments. Also Brian, I met you in 2018 at comic con in Philly and it was amazing! Edit: we need an episode with Mindy Kaling pleaseeee!!!
Edit 2: now that this has turned into off the beat it’s a lot more variety which is fun and I do enjoy it! However some guests I honestly have never heard of or don’t find myself very interested in. I feel like some are random and not really connected to the theme of comedy happening off the beat.
