“I have long been a huge fan of “WKRP In Cincinnati”, so was excited to find this podcast, hoping that it would be a fun deep-dive into the episodes.
I tried…I really tried. I listened to each podcast covering the episodes in the first two seasons. It’s clear the hosts are equally passionate about the show, and there is fun to be had - when they concentrate on the episode and the show’s related facts. But I just can’t listen anymore. Each podcast gets so terribly diverted off to an avalanche of tedious, useless, unrelated minutiae tied to some quote or offhand reference. Five minutes on Marilyn Monroe here, two minutes on Fruit of the Loom there…it’s just too much. It makes the podcast insufferable, because it turns the podcast into the worst type of “saccharine” syndicated morning radio program. I’d gladly trade a little less time in a podcast episode for more focus on what made “WKRP” so timeless. Hopefully someone can do this better.”
