I'm really late to the party with This Is Us. I only heard about it through Outlander Cast and thought it sounded a bit lame. But as I heard more from Mary and Blake on Outlander, the more I knew I needed to check it out. I love it and I love the podcast. It's been my lockdown listening and a life saver on my daily exercise. i also love the Lost references which Blake doesnt do so much on Outlander Cast. Lost was my absolute favourite and obsession and most people criticise it so love to hear someone talk about it with love too. wish youd had a podcast about that. But listen to this podcast if you love This Is Us. they cover everything from emotional response to the episode to the way the music and lighting and writing techniques work to enhance (mostly) the programme. Really entertaining, interesting and educational too!

I love everything about this podcast. I love the G.B.G. and the Lemonade Ratings and the structure of it all. And best of all, I love Blake and Mary. They have such interesting perspectives on the show and it makes me feel like I'm really there talking it out with them. 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋They 5 out of 5 Lemonades from me!
