Well worth your time!

Always great to hear the esteemable Mike White & Chris Stachiw! It’s a joy to go through vintage Columbo alongside these two hosts. My highest recommendation!
Mr. Michael

I loved this episode (even if I agree

with you that’s its not a great one. But your discussion about it was fun to hear. But truly LOVED Mike’s interview with Amelie Hastie and immediately ordered a copy on Amazon after listening. Love you guys !

So worth your time.

I’ve been a fan of Columbo for awhile now, having enjoyed the show as a kid and rediscovered it as an adult. Apologies to the hosts, but knowing nothing of their background, I went in with very low expectations. This is an excellent conversation between a well-informed veteran fan and a thoughtful newcomer expressing what it’s like to experience Columbo for the first time. The interviews have blown me away. I was not expecting anything approaching the quality of the guests or the level of insight in the exchanges. I’m rambling, but just one more thing… Well done, gentlemen!
