I look forward to Jace Lacob’s interviews with the cast, writers, producers, and other creators of some of my favorite shows ever, especially All Creatures Great and Small. He does his research and asks great questions that make watching the shows even more enjoyable. It is clear how much he...Read full review »

These interviews could be wonderful, but the host has a voice that’s hard on the ears, and he is not engaging with the guests.

I loved listening to this interview regarding this last episode which expounded so much on her past and her feelings. She spoke almost as if she was being interviewed during that era yet I believe it is her reality of life today. That makes me realize how superficial many of our...Read full review »

One of top 5 and always excited for a new episode. I’m a PBS addict and British television fan so it checks a big box for me!!
Vali333 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/23
By far one of my favourite podcasts and a great accompaniment to the shows. I never miss this podcast as Jace is thorough with his research and his questions always elicit wonderful insight from actors, writers and producers. 5 stars!

2 podcasts ago you talked about how dark everything is/would be for the characters; well Will is married & Jordy is back with his wife (& Mrs C is ok)…looking forward to season 8.

I enjoy the guests and the insights into the various masterpiece series, but the host sounds like he’s reading off a paper and he sounds less than thrilled, even bored and detached while he’s interviewing. It’s uncomfortable to listen to, because all the enthusiasm for the topic is coming from...Read full review »

Sound quality is sooo bad . Sounds like talking in a nasal tin can .

Love PBS. Wish the podcast had a better host.
Old Time Music Enthusiast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/22
This show is fantastic. Host Jace Lacob is excellent interviewing everyone involved in Masterpiece Studio shows. He creates an atmosphere that allows the guests to open up and he lets them speak in paragraphs without interruption. He is a true talent.

Thank goodness the guests are so interesting, the interviewer pitches such simplistic and juvenile questions in such an uninspired way, it’s hard to understand how he got this job!?

Love this show that came out around the world in 80 days and he plays a good part of it and can’t wait for the second the episode of this show and really cool

I ran Season 4 on passport, just couldn’t believe the story itself,#1 dealing w/ Cassie’s being denied her full 30yrs retirement. Her tackling the freezer headless/handless corpse. But typical she’d get her man, no matter how negative the Dept became...writing on the wall of her finishing up her...Read full review »

Jace Lacob is so impressive as a reviewer! He really does his homework & it shows. There is rarely an episode I listen to that I do not learn something I didn’t know. This podcast adds so much to the Masterpiece broadcast. Kudos!
Frances Arleen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/21
I absolutely love it. Thank you! so entertaining!!
#MidnightFan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/21
Of all the podcasts that I listen to this is my ultimate favorite! The host is a dream to listen to and he is extremely well prepared. Commercials are short and sweet. The episodes are the perfect length. Quality is crisp and clear. Best of all it is family friendly. No cursing. None of...Read full review »

The word Masterpiece encompasses so much ... it really is a wonderful expression of the multitalented people that crest this program. I followed it for many year and for a while I lost contact due personal circumstances, but Great Creatures ... brought me back to the riches of this program. Thank...Read full review »

Jace, Making Masterpiece is a wonderful mini documentary of Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! I grew up watching PBS and always loved British television even before I was a teenager. The podcast mentions so many wonderful tidbits of PBS trivia such as how Rebecca Eaton knew that Morse would be a...Read full review »

Such a great deep dive into a fascinating story!
toribedford via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/21
I enjoy the Masterpiece but this podcast doesn’t do justice to the quality of the shows. The interviewer sounds like he has a prewritten list of questions, and throws those questions one by one to his guest. There is no follow up questions nor spontaneity. I enjoy when the guest starts to talk...Read full review »

As an All Creatures Great and Small superfan I have loved getting to know the cast via this podcast. Lovely conversations, perfect length! Bravo!
MaryAlice715 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/21
There’s a lot to unpack in Long Song and some feels like ambivalence on part of Masterpiece compared to All Creatures and even the Miss Scarlet both playing same time. Those are Masterpiece de rigeur and All Creatures beauty and acting is an easy A. But Long Song is tremendous! If a bit...Read full review »

So disappointed.

GREAT, great show. Always love it, but this was a step up. Charlie
CFT 3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/20
The interviewer asks the most In depth and interesting questions that it usually makes him shine more than his guests! Nevertheless I love this podcast because of that!
Sapphiremfmf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/20
I have written this before and will ask again. I watched the 5th episode of Grantchester knowing that something *bad* was about to happen and figuring it out. Please give more thought that some of us see this podcast list before we see the episode.

Sanditon is such a gem of a show. Us fans deserve a true Jane Austen ending.
MrsBritishInfusion via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/20
Well produced, good production quality, as expected. Funny thing is, Mr. Lacob’s questions are often more interesting than the answers. The actors are left without much to add. (At least, for Poldark. The exception so far is Ms. Blakiston: she makes every answer interesting!) Also, the titles...Read full review »

Just subscribed so I can follow the Sanditon podcasts. Can’t wait to listen.
kdmcw1975 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/20
Masterpiece, you have done it again. Thank you for airing this on PBS first of all. Sanditon is my favorite show! I love period dramas, but this one is exceptional! Bringing Austen’s story to life couldn’t have been done any better. The characters (actors) costumes, sets are so inspiring...Read full review »

After bingeing every episode (in two days) I cannot get enough Sanditon! The cast, the costumes, the plot, I need more!!!! Rumor has it itv has not renewed for season 2 and I am begging you to help make this happen! US-based fans are LOVING the series and there are too many unanswered questions...Read full review »

Jace Lacob is an EXCELLENT interviewer, and really seems to ask questions that are on point and encourage the actors to talk in something other than sound bites. The downside is that there are too many spoilers - not on every episode, but they can be disappointing.
Ntrovert60 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/19
I’ve learned to listen to these after I have finished watching a show’s season. Too many spoilers— especially the interview with Debbie Horsfield about Poldark’s “upcoming season.” I have not read the books so I needed to stop after 5 minutes before my enjoyment of suspense in Season 5 was...Read full review »

I love Jace Lacob. He seems to know as much about the show as each actor.
tonesh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/19
Just could not follow the plot. Choppy to distraction.
Hulu Gal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/19
I live the pacing of the questions and the knowledge base from which he queries. Even more than Fresh Air he seems to be willing to say how much he loves a scene, asking how actors get to the emotion place required, how writers view original material, how directors approach iconic stories. Along...Read full review »

Informative and easy to listen. Just lovely!
Archipelago man via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/22/19
I’m a fan of the Masterpiece podcast as I am of the Masterpiece series. I like hearing the actors’ reflections on their characters and all of their insights on the writers and their job as actors. However, the interview with Alex Jennings was a bit tiring as Jace Lacob was repetitive in his...Read full review »
Psychic M via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/19
I would normally give a podcast produced by Masterpiece Studio a five-star and then some review but Jace Lacob is an insecure and poor interviewer. He asks questions, laughs at the right places unconvincingly and grovels and simpers respectably. That's not what I call an interviewer. Why oh...Read full review »
kkearns11542 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/19
I love listening to actors and writers talk about their crafts, but the questions are ... not the best. A better interviewer, please. Or at least some better questions.
Medievalmave via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/19
My favorite segments include “fact or fiction” and learning about how the period dramas reflect actual experiences. Without these podcasts, I may have never known about intriguing novels that guide some of the shows.
IzzyFollows via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/19
I love these Masterpiece Studio podcasts for so many reasons, but most of all, just listening to the actors talk of their roles. I always hear them mention something I hadn’t thought about. I love the historical contexts that is given as well. Bravo and thanks for these little gifts!!
