Love it!

Love the podcast, listened to each episode after watching. I hope you all will be back for Season 2

Outstanding Podcast

This is by far the best series podcast I've encountered. Everybody involved -- from the two hosts to the producers, stars, costume designers, prop wranglers, producers, historians and others they interview -- is entertaining and knowledgeable. The hosts have excellent rapport without falling into the giggle fits and aimless chatter that often bedevils this kind of podcast. Great job, people - looking forward to Season 2. Keep up the great work!
