    A Very Special Episode (American Horror Story: Blue's Clues)

    In this episode of 'Watchers on the Thinking Couch,' hosts Daddy Tim and Uncle Mike embark on a humorous and insightful discussion about the children's show 'Blue's Clues' and its impact on both kids and parents alike. Expanding beyond just a review, they delve into the peculiarities of the show's storyline, including the introduction of new host Josh, the curious living situation of previous hosts, and how Blue's Clues seems to recycle old plots with new settings. They touch upon the afterlife theories, the potentially haunted house, and the show's approach to continuity with its hosts and characters. The conversation also shifts to consider how children's television content consumption has evolved with streaming, noting personal anecdotes and the challenge of dealing with repetitive content as parents. Additionally, they briefly explore other children's shows and propose the idea of starting a dad-themed podcast, all while humorously navigating through the world of being parents who are deeply entrenched in children's programming.

Castle Rock Watchers

This is my favorite podcast that covers Castle Rock episode by episode. The two hosts are a good blance of the second biggest Stephen King fan in podcasting and someone who watches so much TV, she listens to Netflix in her car. Plus cats!
You should be watching. You should be listening.

Tom & Drew’s Magic Item Review ,

Informative

One of my favorite things to listen to before i write for dungeons and dragons is podcast about Game of Thrones. There are a few others, but this one is really cool. I feel like i have these same conversations with people at work, so it helps me sharpen up for moments like that. Idk, its rad.

Not as serious as other GOT podcasts, but more entertaining

If you are a diehard fan of the books, you may get annoyed by the lack of lore knowledge by the hosts. If you can get past that, the show is very funny, and the hosts have great chemistry together. They release episodes weekly during the season, and then every month or two between seasons. I definitely recommend it if you are a fan of the show, and don’t care as much about the books. Tim will often compare show plot points to the books as Sarah and Mike haven’t read them and probably won’t.
