Sad
I love this podcast. I first heard Dan on that idiots show on WGN nick digilio . This was so amazing to find. I don’t have to listen to drunk hateful nick digilio to listen to listen to the insightful podcast you two had.

I’m so sad to hear this is the last one and Lesley is leaving THR. Love your insight. Please keep this going even if you two do it on your own.

Sad to see the Pod go away, wish Dan, even though he can be a bit much at times, and Lesley would produce one independently and keep it going… unfortunately the farewell episode I do not believe loaded correctly so it cut off at the 21 Minute mark. Let’s hope we get more as it’s the best source...Read full review »

Don,t go. Please

Saddened by the announcement of Lesley Goldberg being let go. Hopefully THR will recognize the popularity of the podcast and allow it to continue!

I hope this wasn’t the last episode. Every week, I look forward to the podcast. It’s helped me get through some tough health days. Please keep it going! I love this podcast. I faithfully listen every week.

THR: Please keep this podcast going! Favorite podcast on tv! Lesley and Dan are great hosts, giving plenty of insight into the TV landscape. They know what they’re talking about and allow us the opportunity to dig deeper. Great interviews and they allow their TV insiders the opportunity to...Read full review »

Please don’t end this podcast 😭 it’s so informative and necessary. Losing this podcast will leave a huge hole. Don’t cancel it. We need it. Love y’all!
MademoiselleMads via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/21/24
Please don’t end, I love this podcast so much
John46821 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/21/24
Thanks for dropping a huge Yellowjackets spoiler in your review for fallout. Totally unnecessary and ridiculous but what I’ve come to expect from this show!
James695 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/14/24
Fabulous show, best podcast out there to keep up with what’s new and good on streaming.

Ad volume is way too high. Shocks me every time. Do what tv shows are now legally required to do and keep content and ads at same volume.

I was really disappointed to hear that Daniel Feinberg wasn’t knowledgeable enough to understand the Ronna McDaniel firing. She was head of the RNC and supported the big lie that Joe Biden had lost the election. She was part of the coup and one of the masterminds of the Michigan fake collectors...Read full review »

Love the show but the sound quality seems to have degraded. It sounds like the hosts are recording in tin cans and very far away from the microphone. Have tried on different devices, speakers, headphones to no avail. Tech support!
act1966 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/23/24
You both are way too concerned with the politics of Hollywood. No one cares!
Gangster 547 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/24
I used to very much look forward to this pod coming out every week, however I’ve increasingly found it a difficult listen. While there is no doubt both hosts know a lot about the industry, Dan seems genuinely disgruntled with every aspect of the modern TV industry - his overly long winded rants...Read full review »
nothingtown via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/22/24
I have been listening to/following Dan for over 10 years and for that reason won’t give a bad rating but I can’t stand how much politics Dan has been shoving down our throats lately. Stop mentioning Elon Musk. You are obsessed and it’s actually embarrassing. No one uses Big Sky or Threads or...Read full review »
dwjohnson2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/24
The 2 presenters have a fantastic chemistry. Love the 5 segment format. These are people who clearly love the medium, not just as professionals but people who love TV. Daniel’s TV reviews are smart, informative and coming from a place of genuine desire to always say great things, but honest...Read full review »
Updesh via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/17/23
I’ve been listening every week for years, love the up-to-the-minute insider’s industry reporting from Leslie, and enjoy Dan’s decades of experience and referential knowledge. Just one complaint: Please do NOT feel the need to gut-punch the excellent flow of your dialogue by looking up previous...Read full review »

People complaining about baseball are legit whining about maybe 2 minutes per hour plus of content exclusively on television during the season. Leslie and Dan have a great dynamic and back and forth and lead to a very enjoyable podcast.
Steven 456773 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/23
This is not a baseball podcast. Please have your baseball conversations privately. SO annoying!!!
LppCo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/23
The critic’s corner is now mainly Dan droning on and on about the shows he doesn’t like. No longer a great place anymore to find the good shows. And Leslie and the baseball.
Alaskacie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/23
The ‘Morning Show’ review by that self obsessed windbag was excruciating. I cringed. To review a show and make it entirely about your ideological discomfort, your struggle, to watch something that challenges your worldview takes narcissism to a whole new level. Also, it’s helpful that Dan laughs...Read full review »

Great insight into the intersection between content, platforms and entertainment in general. Just an enjoyable listen with fun personal anecdotes from smart hosts who have great chemistry.
Paris4rver16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/23
I love the podcast but Dan talks so much!! I don’t understand why there is no discussion during the critics corner , Dan can become annoying to listen to.
Ledizzler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/22/23
Both of these hosts have very interesting things to say, but Leslie can’t help herself and interrupts Dan all the time. It’s incredibly distracting. I hope she learns some respect and restraint.
jdjdjnxjd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/23
Super informative about the tv industry in America.
BelleA331 via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 06/12/23
This show takes time to appreciate its greatest feature, which is its consistency. They may not reinvent the wheel but they inform and deliver weekly.
DrZayas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/23
Great variety every week. Podcast appointment listening!
Lesstko via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/23
I usually skip the show runner interviews (just not me me). I do enjoy Dan’s takes and have for years. Boo the dodgers though, booooooooo!
audio fan 781 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/23
This show is not about therapy but it is the best TV biz podcast ever!
YupOkay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/23
This podcast is just the worst in every aspect. They don’t understand the show at all and clearly have zero background or knowledge of therapy. This was such a great show that left me feeling good, but listening to one episode of this cast made me feel angry and is threatening to ruin the whole...Read full review »
BD1598 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/23
Most of this pod is these two complaining about how unfair it is to have shows they like but no one else watch get cancelled. No one watched that Amazon or HBO Max show. That’s why it was cancelled. Wake up.
MB€% via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/23
One of the few podcasts I enjoy fully. I’m not sure but have you ever discussed CB Strike on HBO Max? Love that show.
lizc1960 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/23
This is where I get all of my TV news, and the vast majority of my baseball news.
Jonathan Scott Anderson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/23
always entertaining and enlightening. a must listen of my week. always a thoughtful and interesting perspective from both the editorial and business sides of television. congrats on 200 eps, can’t wait for 200 more!
Leah5290 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/23
I love this podcast and look forward to it every week. Dan and Lesley make a great team. Congratulations on your 200th episode and I hope there will be many more.
kalooney via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/23
I am so glad I found this podcast! I have been looking for a place where I can get the scoop on all the streaming shows - it is overwhelming to try to keep up with everything that is available and so much is crap. This podcast is so enjoyable to listen to.
clingonwarbird via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/23
Used to look forward to this podcast, but the increasingly inane (and unnecessarily foul-mouthed) banter between the hosts does a discredit to the reputation of The Hollywood Reporter. Give us more of the dignified and supremely knowledgeable Kim Masters instead.
Sa2to via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/22/22
This podcast is great if you are remotely interested in the TV industry. The hosts are great and a good balance I think. However, unless we’re talking about A League of Their Own, I do not want to hear a single word about baseball. I don’t know who the crossover audience is but it’s not me.
BuenosBlogger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/22
This is the best podcast about television, from the business and critic’s perspective, that is available.
Tkingdom2386 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/22
I love this pod. I look forward to listening to new episodes every Friday morning. It’s the perfect podcast for television lovers — but please (please) stop talking about baseball. There is a time and a play for that, brothers and sisters. That time or place is not here (please).
ollietheb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/22
This is the best tv podcast out there. Love the format and the hosts. This is the first thing I listen to every Friday!
Bad Buddy 75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/22
Dan likes Lot49 and Lesley likes baseball. There’s a lot of industry talk for those of us not in the industry. But overall my Friday bike commute wouldn’t be the same without these two fine folks discussing all things in tv land that I don’t even watch. Somehow it’s a calming routine and I’m...Read full review »
