Bad takes, Lacking depth and preparation
First off, I want to say I am genuinely a big fan of Josh’s work (I’m much less familiar with Emily’s)- For years Josh has shown himself to be a fun and super insightful commentator / analyst of shows like Mr. Robot, The Leftovers, GOT, Lost and of course Survivor. He has a great energy and enthusiasm that is infectious - and when he’s properly prepared he’s an absolute 5-Star Top Level podcaster / writer. But on Succession he just seems unprepared and to not have spent much time thinking on it- the result is relatively shallow and often times lackadaisically speculative- it’s off-putting and I end up having to turn the podcast off midway- it’s just not up to the level I know he can deliver. The episode with Dominick from Survivor was just - I’m sorry to say it - embarrassing. Luckily Josh was able to redirect Dom’s bad takes (ie. Shiv being tested / set up yet again at the Logan dinner) but honestly Josh’s takes on this pod have often not been that different from that. Sorry to focus just on Josh here - but I think Succession is a great show and I wish it got the full Wigler treatment. It just seems like it’s on the way way way back burner for him and maybe he’s spread thin. (He’s said as much) I want post show recaps (RHAP) to always be considered some of the best programming out there... but this isn’t it unfortunately.

More reviews of Succession: A Post Show Recap
Listened to the first 8 minutes of Succession season 3, episode 1 recap. I had to stop. The word “like” was used about 100 times. Really tough to listen to.

Aside of your constant inside chatter and the first 5 minutes being virtually meaningless, your show does not have uninteresting insights. Your constantly late however with episodes and if your going to remain relevant in this business your pod casts need to be out the next morning. This is...Read full review »
