Description

You've finally made it to your couch with a glass of wine and pick up your remote. What are you turning on? Maybe it's a show with a character you love to hate. Maybe it's a storyline that feels just like your life, or the life you wish you had. Maybe it's a theme song stuck in your head, or a catchphrase you still quote. That's comfort TV.

The award-winning podcast, Consider This for Comfort, is your guide to that world and what it says about our society and culture. This is where the comfort show you never knew you needed meets new perspectives on the biggest cultural topics we're all wrestling with right now.

Raised by MTV and West African immigrants, Eteng Ettah sits down with creatives, writers and more to recommend and break down TV and culture for you.

Season 5 episodes air every Wednesday this fall.
