Customer Reviews
TV Thoughts from Big D!
Tom and Samantha present a very entertaining podcast each week about Television and all that implies. They have diverse tastes and part of the fun is listening to their discussions of shows where they have a different opinion. Tom is from my generation (don’t ask) and Samantha is from a world where the Simpson’s have always been on TV. I wish one of them had a little more love for the science fiction side of TV but that is a minor quibble. They have an easy banter between them and present a consistently enjoyable conversation about TV. It is always a treat to hear the latest episode.
