Customer Reviews
Awesome Pod
Huge fan of Jeopardy! and the pod. Fun, interesting, uplifting, and at times sad. I had the absolute privilege of spending a week in the Galapagos with Alex, his wife Jean, Rocky Schmidt and others on the Jeopardy crew. Jean is one of the kindest, classiest people I have ever met and after seeing her and Alex together, hearing her talk about Alex in such a deeply personal and intimate way was incredibly moving and brought a flood of tears. I’m not sure I could listen to it again—it hit me that hard. Thanks, Buzzy and the rest of the team that put together this pod.
Would love to see an episode featuring Johnny Gilbert. We probably don’t think about it but the show wouldn’t be the same without him.
Thoroughly Enjoyable!
I didn’t begin watching Jeopardy! until 8 years ago and find myself watching it most nights now. Buzzy Cohen is a great narrator and storyteller! I’m greatly appreciating the history, biographies and personalities of everybody, strategies— everything that is included in this podcast! It’s one of my favorite podcasts, and I am a podcast junkie, too 😋
Great show
If you love Jeopardy you will love this show. Buzzy is a great host
