LaurinRadcliffe ,

so funny so many hot takes

sam and hannah are fantastic, and i enjoy their reoccurring guests. i’ve started from the beginning again, and it’s just as hilarious as the first go around. i do hope they finish the show, i want to hear their opinions on the worst of the worst!

ryanvw5 ,

Season 3 was the funniest and most painful season for us all

I’m going to miss the Tuesday uploads for a bit but I understand needing time to rest before going through season 4.

Greg Carrobis ,

A touch biased but

Full disclosure I've been a guest on this podcast a couple times, but The Gleewatch is one of those things your friends make and you worry you have to pretend to like it but then- you don't have to pretend! I didn't watch Glee growing up, and the only downside of this podcast was infecting me with the brainworms to hatewatch it now. Definitely recommend
