The Bye-Bye High Sky I.Q. Murder Case (1977)
Accountant and certified genius Oliver Brandt (Theodore Bikel) is threatened with exposure by his business partner for embezzling funds from their clients. Brandt executes a Rube Goldberg-esque murder scheme to murder his colleague at the home of the Sigma Society, a club for individuals with remarkably high I.Q.'s. Brandt soon finds out he may not be the smartest man in the room when Columbo is assigned to the case. Is this episode as smart as a tack? Or is it as dumb as a post? Listen in and find out what Steve and Sean think!

Murder Under Glass (1978)
When affluent restaurant critic Paul Gerard (Louis Jourdan) finds himself in a pickle of a disagreement with the owner of a successful Italian restaurant, he kills the main by poisoning a bottle of wine. Columbo is hot on the case, and he's pretty sure Gerard is his murderer, but he can't figure out how the poison got into the bottle. Is this one a Michelin three star? Or is it as palatable as a gas station burrito? Listen in and find out what Steve and Sean think!

Playback (1975)
Electronics engineer Harold van Wyke (Oskar Werner) murders his mother-in-law to retain his role in the family business and to cover up his extramarital affairs. When Columbo stumbles upon the crime scene, however, Van Wyke soon realizes that it's going to take more than just some fancy videotape equipment to outsmart the policeman. Is this one worthy of the top shelf at Blockbuster? Or will you find it in the bargain bin at Target? Listen in and find out what Steve and Sean think!

Customer Reviews
By far, the best Colombo podcast
I’ve listened to them all, but this is the one. Sean and Steve come up with a perfect blend of good pacing, great content, great chemistry between hosts, and a genuine love of the original show to come up with the best of the many Columbo podcasts. They also don’t commit the cardinal sin that ruins SO many podcasts…they actually stay focused and on topic (how simple is that?). I’ve seen all of the episodes of the show and have listened to all of the Confab episodes. Now when I rewatch any episode I re-listen to that episode’s podcast and I still enjoy it. Great job on this one guys!!
Guys!
New listener here—yes, as another listener said, you MUST cover ELLERY QUEEN—the greatest tv mystery series of all time. Trust and believe, and thanks! Really enjoying the Columbo pod. Also, you are WRONG about Dead Weight—Eddie Albert—as the worst episode—it’s because you’re not a woman—the daddy-issues between Suzanne Pleshette and old man Ironhorse are layered and fascinating! 😉 Love the pod.
Evergreen
This podcast, like “Columbo” itself, never gets old. I’m probably on my fifth hearing of most episodes.
Steve and Sean weave the banter into the recap, veering into fascinating rabbit holes, but always returning to admiration of the show —even when they are hate-watching a klunker.
