Bivymack ,

Great knowledge and research

I have always loved The Simpsons. I watched the “golden years” live, and continue to watch regularly through the magic of DVD. These guys bring a whole new level of knowledge and insight. From different takes on jokes, to delving into references I never got, to producer and writer influence, they are giving me a whole new insight into the show I love. Also, lots of 1 star reviews from people pretending the Simpsons is a politically neutral show. These guys are not leftist extremists. They are level headed, intelligent individuals getting lambasted by bad-faith reviewers.

Cat fans all over ,

This podcast helps me write books because it gives me ideas but ever since I started listening to this podcast I have been having some problems with what they talk about so this app is definitely worth it. it’s just this podcast is not. Please change your podcast
