“edit: the absence of kimlai yingling has actually had a noticeable impact in the first S2 podcast. kudos. hopefully she won't return. alternatively, this has also brought gabrielle loren's inanity into the fore. she clearly can't wrap her head around the material (this isn't election year politics folks) and simply echos katherine and phil. gaby has nothing to add but does detract fantastically. here's another talking head that never learned that "nothing to say" does not mean "say anything"
there is no discernable structure to the show and certainly no real conversation regarding Revenge. this is a shame because Revenge is very (if artificially) convoluted and a decent conversation about each episode would be a great way to digest each episode.
here's the deal. Revenge has turned out to be a night time soap opera and as such, Afterbuzz decided it would be a good idea to throw a few junior high girls into a room and record them. fun for them, not for the listeners. the result is a lot of high pitched giggling and indistinguishable voices fighting for attention. this is such a waste because the production value is actually ok. in fact, it's much much better than some other podcasts of more substance that don't have the means to record properly.
aside from the "hosts", the actual recaps were inaccurate and names kept getting mixed up. there was no dissection of the plot or storyline making this a strictly recap podcast.
i simply couldn't get thru this podcast. i jumped ahead ten minutes or so at a time to see if they calm down and start talking, but it's the same throughout. i will stick with it for now and check back each podcast because there is no alternative podcast for Revenge, so i'm kinda stuck. but i am really hoping for a listenable podcast next week. otherwise it's just taking up space on my iphone....
Afterbuzz - listen to the reviewers here, this is not the architecture of a good podcast. get a real host who can pull this thing together and control the flow of the conversation. "guests" who are just homeroom classmates to the girls you've got are not real "guests" and only add to the cacophony.”

“The male host makes me angry every time I listen to this podcast. He consistently misuses the word "irony," fails to moderate the conversation, and manages to be condescending and sexist (implying once that this show exists because some rich woman begged her husband to throw money at it,...”Read full review »

“I love the revenge podcast, and I make sure to listen everyweek, I download it to my phone and listen on my walks. However I miss the whole team together, especially this week when all we had was Phil. He did an awesome job but it seems that whenever there are less than three people on the panel...”Read full review »

“I love watching Revenge and listening to other Afterbuzz podcast. But these people are so monotone and boring. They have no interesting insights or discussion, they simply repeat the plot.
The ladies on this podcast sound as if they don't even watch the show, missing out on huge details and past...”Read full review »
