One-season wonders get their due
The Middleman is a wonderful choice to launch this podcast. Host Les Weiler is pleasant and enthusiastic, but best of all, he’s really done his homework on each episode, actor, writer, and crew member he interviews, leading to high-quality conversations and just a lot of fun. Quick—go watch The Middleman—then subscribe to this podcast and appreciate it even more.
Love letter to shows too beautiful to live
Season one of this podcast is a wonderful look back at a TV show that I loved dearly, and felt that it was made purely for me. It is a real joy to find out that other people have the same feelings, including the creators. Great interviews, production, and insight.
Read the comics too!
I've loved The Middleman from the very first comics issues written by Javier Grillo-Marxuach & illustrated by Les McClaine. I was very happy when Javi was able to make the TV series.
This podcast is a fun exploration into the show & I like the hosts. After listening to this podcast you'll want to watch the TV series, and I highly recommend also checking out the comics.
