Favorite new show

Funny, freeflowing conversations with great guests and a generous interest in all television.

Ashley has the best television knowledge and appreciation I’ve come across, she’s not so much a TV critic as a TV champion, she genuinely enjoys television and keeps up with so many interesting shows.

Started listening for Jason Mantzoukas and now have listened to all the episodes. Best pop culture podcast out there!

Favorite Shows

Great TV podcast to listen to for recommendations! If you haven’t Watched Extreme Sisters and Darcy and Stacy for current episodes on TLC I’d recommend that for reality TV and I’d also recommend Call The Midwife on Netflix!
