Customer Reviews
Back on the Air
I was a big listener to the TV Squad podcast of a couple of years ago. When that one went away I subcribed to a several of the other TV review podcasts avaialble but found most of them lacking "something". I found out about the Antenna Free TV podcast listening to "The Pod Clack" and it is great to hear Jason and Joel yakking it up about my favorite, and not so favorite TV shows. Great to have them back on the air.
Walking dead
Thank you for your show. I appreciate your efforts. I would also like to say I understand what you mean by wanting to talk about buzz worthy tv. What I would like to hear from you guys is to talk more about scripted dramas on broadcast tv. If they are not buzz worthy, what should they do to become so? On shows that you do not care for, what could they do to become better? just some thoughts, but again thank you for your podcasts
Enjoyable and informative
The hosts are at ease and up-to-date. They share my interest in both the business of TV and its content. So, for me, this podcast is a winner.
