Puzzling with puzzles
I discovered this podcast right before I went home to visit my family. I stayed with my father, who produced a jigsaw puzzle and suggested we work on it, reviving a very old and nostalgic tradition we hadn't indulged in for many years. While he was absent or taking a break, I would pour over the puzzle while listening to The Columbo Podcast gents analyze and dissect the puzzling plots of Columbo, and plumb the depths of why Columbo is so popular and compelling, another layer of puzzling. I managed to complete two jigsaw puzzles and listen to about sixteen hours of this podcast. They reinforced the pleasure that each activity gave me, and produced a terrific synergy. I need to add that the podcast hosts' Scottish origin added yet another puzzling element, listening to them try to figure out and extrapolate cultural differences that spanned not only the globe but time and decades as well in order to truly understand some of the show's context. Overall an extremely enjoyable podcast. I truly hope that once they have gone through all the episodes, they will continue the podcast with episodes taking up various topics that take on themes that could tease out why Columbo is such a satisfying, innovative and monumental television achievement. From an Anglophile in Boston, Cheers, mates!Read full review »

We'll forget for a moment that these guys have my favorite dialect AND it's about Columbo so the whole thing makes me want to faint.... It's just an amazing podcast. I'm so glad I found them and look forward to each one. Many thanks to Gerry and Iain for such fun.Read full review »
