Entertaining, but put the two halves back together.
The shows presented are usually entertaining, and it is fun to hear ideas that never made it to fruition. It is often obvious to the listener, though not to the presenters, why a particular pilot died on the table. The most interesting part of the podcast is listening to the interview with the creator immediately after hearing the table read. Beginning with the most recent episode, the producers decided to separate the table read and the interview and publish them two weeks apart. This has the effect of allowing the listener to forget details of the performance over the two week interval. Because of this, I will be holding the first half of each episode until I receive the second half and enjoy them as the single unit that they are. Since I listen to podcasts by manually selecting them for play, this is a mild nuisance for me. Listeners who play podcasts automatically in the order of receipt are not so fortunate.

I was talked into it and have been much more interested than I...Read full review »

This podcast scratches an itch I didn’t know I had. The pilot table reads are so funny and showcase such writing and acting talent as to not be believed. As well the insight into the world of television show creation that it provides is (for this industry outsider) fascinating. I can’t say enough...Read full review »
