Great Podcast!
I was so excited to find a podcast for Castle! If you are a Castle fan, this is a must listen! John & Heidi give you a rundown on every episode and their in depth discussions are a joy to listen to. They also have news, spoilers & a music appreciation segment with great scores by Robert Duncan! Fantastic podcast from start to finish!
Thank you
Thank you John and Heidi (and guest hosts) for your warm, fun, and honest podcast about Castle. I have been listening for about a year but gained a new respect for your podcast after your negative review of "Anatomy of a Murder". I am so appreciative of the fact that you are honest and are not afraid to give criticism when it is warrented. Listening to "Castle Cast" is like discussing each episode with a group of friends and it is always a joy to listen to. Thank you and keep up the good work.
An excellent companion to Castle!
I found this podcast soon after it came out and it quickly became a podcast I listen to right after watching Castle.
This podcast gives up to date news, a recap and a great discussion of each episode. There are many things that you'll realize you missed from truly funny lines to little in-jokes thrown in the background for truly observant fans of Nathan Fillion and Castle.
This podcast quickly worked the bugs out and became a well-organized and excellently produced podcast!
If you love Castle, you probably already listen to this podcast. If you watch Castle and don't listen to this podcast, then you're missing out!
The only possible downside to listening to this podcast is that it makes you want to watch Castle again to catch all of the things you missed! That is not a bad problem to have though because this show has excellent re-watchability!
Thanks for the truly great work, Heidi and John.
