“We’re very late to the party but just finished the Americans - we loved it and it was great to still have all these interviews and reflections to listen to :)”

“If only I’d caught onto this tv show earlier. But now I’ve binged all 6 seasons it’s fascinating to listen to a more in depth discussion of the show’s making. Really enjoying the behind the scenes discussions from the cast crew and makers. Great stuff!”

“Not a recap, a fascinating extra slice that takes you inside the show, talks to creators from across the crew, and gives amazing insight into spy craft and the craft of tv. Almost as addictive as the program itself!”

“This podcast consists of interviews with cast or crew members who discuss their creative process. There is minimal discussion of the episode itself. This is not a podcast for viewers who are looking for breakdown of what just happened - the elements and themes of the story, the meaning of the...”Read full review »

“I cannot imagine watching The Americans without this amazing podcast. This is NOT a recap... it’s an in-depth discussion with the creators, actors, set-designers, technical consultants, editors etc...
Bonus: it also has the inimitable June Thomas.”

“It's so wonderful to get access to the minds and talent behind the best show on television. You get great insights into the process behind making the show, and any time Matthew Rhys & Keri Russell are on, the show is just bonkers. If only they episodes were longer!”

“If you love The Americans, this is a great podcast, despite the host who seems to misunderstand the entire series! Thankfully the writers usually disagree with her totally misunderstood interpretations of the characters!”

“This is an excellent podcast! I'm a huge fan of the show, and I really enjoy "getting to know" the actors, writers, and showrunners. I will admit, the podcast episodes of season three were my favorite: the focus was on the episodes, unlike the later seasons. Overall, I would definitely recommend...”Read full review »

“Superb behind the scenes view of the show. June is an excellent interviewer and teases a lot out of the creators, the stars and technicians on the show. This really enhances the experience of watching the show for me - I'm understanding the craft and background more. Leaves me more impressed if...”Read full review »

“I love this show. Been listening since 2016. I listen after every episode. After I discovered the show I of course went back to listen to every past segment.”

“I am curious why the producers of this podcast thought it worthwhile for the listeners to hear June Thomas' every uh-huh, right, right, and yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't see how it helped me understand what was being talked about. At times I could not hear what was being said by the interviewee. ...”Read full review »

“There could be more direct discussions of the show's plot and twists, but I do appreciate the "making of the show segments." Good to hear from writers, producers, stage creators, music engineers, 2nd directors, etc. I think June Thomas is very good as a host.”

“The host constantly is inserting "yep" "mm-hmm" and other little things while the guest is talking, it drives me nuts, but it's a free podcast with excellent insight into the behind the scenes of the show.”

Her “active listening” and verbal encouragement while the guests/panelists are giving their answers is horrible...”Read full review »

“I enjoy listening to the podcast after watching the show and only wish they had made these for the earlier seasons as well.
The "J"s, Weisberg and Fields are fun and give all (and none) of the insights you hope for while the guests reveal some interesting movieMakingMagic that are making me...”Read full review »

“I would give this podcast 6 stars if I could. This is not a recap podcast and I love it because of this. It explores real life espionage and the workings of a television show. I have only listened to season 4 and June Thomas.”

But this podcast barely touches upon the events of the episodes, instead interviewing cast members and production staff about themselves. This is more a “Making The...”Read full review »

The producers aren't much better. They spend too much time heaping praises upon themselves and the show. They proudly...”Read full review »
