Just a great listen!!

I never leave reviews, but Saba and Danny are funny, insightful, and make watching TV more engaging. The way they analyze charters is beyond what I’ve heard anywhere else. Kuddos! Thanks for making this podcast and keep ‘em coming.

A fun listen

I normally don’t write reviews for podcasts but after listening to a few episodes of Therapists Talk TV, I knew I had to in order to spread the word! Super interesting show to supplement your TV-watching binges during the pandemic - I really do recommend it, always insightful and fun! Thanks, Saba and Danny!
