Insightful podcast
I’ve watched Seasons 1 and 2 of Hacks 3 times now and enjoy it more each time. This podcast is a dream come true for Hacks fans, giving us backstories in each episode by the people who know it best. My one suggestion would be for them to go back to Season 1 and talk about each episode (or at least selections) from that, too. I’d never tire of hearing the show’s creators talk about the show.
Peek behind the curtain of fave show!!
Hacks is my absolute favorite show and I’m so happy it’s back for season 3. This podcast is amazing, gives a glimpse into the writer’s room and behind the scenes facts. More Hacks, love love love it!!!
