This is a unique concept for a podcast and one I really enjoy! Each host has the other consume a piece of media they really enjoy and that leads to interesting discussions not only on the story, but on why it’s important to them. I also like hearing about new and old stories and things I may have...Read full review »

Anya and Alan are a great team who together bring a thoughtful and intelligent approach to their analyses of the media they love. I love this podcast and eagerly look forward to each new episode, whether I am familiar with the content or not!

Love this Podcast, Read the Book and was excited to watch the show. I watch the show on Sunday. I can’t wait to listen to “Let’s us Stand for this weeks Reading”. I snuggle into my seat and enjoy the story all over again! Alan and Anya banter the storylines back and forth and build it all...Read full review »

This format is great: focusing on the important stories that shaped our lives. I love hearing about how a story that may have been a blip on my radar affected someone’s life in a major way, or even better how something that meant a lot to me also impacted others. Alan and Anya have a great...Read full review »

If you’re looking for a podcast with intelligent discussion about often lesser-known (to me, at least) pieces of pop culture this is a great source of entertainment and deep-thought fodder. The hosts are always thoughtful in their critique and the guests are equally so. Great balance, these...Read full review »

Really enjoy Anya and Alan’s deep dive discussions and especially their delightful guests. I appreciate not having to have previous experience with the subject of the episode to enjoy the episode itself. Highly recommend this podcast!

I jumped in with the "Moonlighting" episode which was super fun and informative and insightful, so I'll be heading over to other episodes now to hear more interesting discussions of media! Recommended if you like smart, in-depth stuff about why we love the stories we love, for good or...Read full review »

Alan and Anya talk intelligently and passionately about the stories that are close to their hearts, that have impact. That’s what makes this show such an enjoyable listen. You don’t have to be familiar with the text (movie/show or book, whichever) they discuss to enjoy! The texts are wide ranging...Read full review »

Anja and Alan's discussion of the stories they love and find meaning in have such a thoughful approach, and I love the balance of analysis and accounting of why these stories mean what they do to the hosts. This combination makes it so that even when I am not familiar with the book, film or...Read full review »

Always worth listening to these guys, and I appreciate the range of materials they pick to talk about. Their discussion is well-researched and well-paced. For example, in the episode on "The Band Played On," their discussion ranged from the political and cultural context of AIDS in the...Read full review »

This is a podcast that takes a deep dive into media and art that the hosts personally love. They bring the same wonderful in depth analysis that they do in Shadows and Shamblers. They don't shy away from the difficult discussions or critical analysis because of their love for the topic. However,...Read full review »

If you’re a fan of Alan and Anya’s American Gods podcast, Shadows and Shamblers, then you already know what to expect from them. If not, then this podcast will be a revelation to you! One way that I judge a piece of media, whether it’s a book, movie, or tv show, is whether it makes an impact on...Read full review »

Usually podcasts have an awkward growing period during their first few episodes, but Hallowed Ground Storycast was, inexplicably, born fully formed. Anya and Alan have an instant rapport, and their conversations are effortlessly listenable. Plus, if they started with Buffy, they clearly have...Read full review »
