Teachers Talking Tv Podcast

Fair warning on this episode: when we recorded this one, it had been a few months since we podded. So it takes us a while to get back into it. The summary is a hot mess that we hope makes you laugh.  You might be better served by heading to Wikipedia or IMDB to read the synopsis. But once we get past that, we start to gel. Until we get to Kenneth’s middle name and then…Rate us on iTunes! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

I bet you thought we gave up on the podcast, but you’d be wrong. Here we are, ready for Season 4 of Teachers Talking TV, in which we  chat about 30 Rock Season 7. Check out the shenanigans. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music. Like what you hear? Rate us on iTunes, and share!

It’s a Christmas spectacular, complete with extra outtakes at the beginning, Christmas music recommendations at the end, and a discussion of Community Season 2, Episode 11 “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas.”  Rate us in iTunes!

Special Thanksgiving Episode, with an extra long intro of shenanigans and tomfoolery for you! This time around, we chat about Bob’s Burgers Season 5, Episode 4 “Dawn of the Peck.” Give you two guesses who chose it, and one guess who didn’t like it all that much. As a parting gift, we offer other podcasts you should be listening to. Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving from our crew to yours! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music. 

We have a special Halloween episode for you—no TV show does Halloween better than The Simpsons, so please enjoy our chat about “Treehouse of Horror IV” from Season Five of “The Simpsons.” This will be our last episode for about a month, so in the meantime, leave us a review on iTunes, and share the podcast with your friends and family! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

It’s here: the last episode of “The Good Place,” and it’s a doozy. How did you react when you finally got to the magnificient twist in this show? We offer our thoughts, as well as shows we think you should be watching. Listen through to the end for some exceptionally silly shenanigans. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

We can’t find a single weakness with “The Good Place” Season 1, Episode 12, and it’s evident as this episode of our podcast is longer than the actual television show. Listen to find out what we thought about Mindy St. Clair and her role in the afterlife. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music. Enjoy? Rate us on iTunes!

We are nearing the end of our journey with Season 1 of “The Good Place” and this week, we talk all things Episode 11: “What’s My Motivation?” This week’s warning: we get a little deep about some of the theology of the show and the age-old debate between works and grace. But never fear: there's also a decent helping of shenanigans and tomfoolery. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

This week we discuss The Good Place Season 1, Episode 10, “Chidi’s Choice,” which leads to a brief discussion of the film “Sophie’s Choice” where spoilers abound. You’ve been warned. Only a couple of episodes remain in this season, and Season 2 is well underway. Get on The Good Place train! Enjoy these episodes? Rate us on iTunes, or where ever you grab our podcast. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

A bonus podcast for you this week to celebrate the debut of Season 2 of “The Good Place!” In this week’s episode, we revisit “Twin Peaks” at Rowse’s request, if you can believe that. Please excuse this week’s choppy edits—Rowse was under the weather and edited out all the coughs for an improved listening experience. We all enjoy discussing the demons in Episode 9 of “The Good Place.” We hope you enjoy listening to it. If you did, leave us a review on iTunes! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Programming note: when we recorded this episode, NBC had slated "The Good Place" season two to begin in January and we talk about it in this episode. They've since changed that plan, and it begins Wednesday Sept. 20. Check local listings! We have the giggles more than once this episode, but we are beyond the halfway point of this season so a little bit of punchiness is to be expected. We dissect The Good Place Season 1, Episode 8, “Most Improved Player” and the arrival of Demon Trevor. Toward the end, we get a little theological, but considering this is a show about the afterlife, can you blame us? Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Welcome to another week of the podcast. Listeners beware, we hate pretty hard on the traditional sitcom setup. We also spend a good chunk of time discussing the future of television delivery, and how streaming services are changing how we watch TV. And we answer the age-old question: are there good lies? If you enjoy listening, please give us a rating on iTunes! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

It’s our last episode that we recorded over the summer and we’ll get back to weekly releases right quick. This week, we give you a mythology lesson for free, just because. Join us as we discuss “The Good Place” Season 1, Episode 6. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Did you miss us?!?! We have some fun background noise in this episode, and it doesn’t take long for us to go slightly off the rails. But we have a rousing discussion of “ The Good Place” Season 1, Episode 5. The show is on Netflix now, and still on Hulu, so really, what are you waiting for? Give it a watch, then give us a listen, and rate us on iTunes! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

This week we go on a bit of a musical safari near the beginning, so enjoy that. We have a pretty robust conversation about representation on TV and then we get into the specifics of “The Good Place” Season 1, Episode 4: "Jason Mendoza." Special thanks to Alex Koukol for the intro music.

A couple of reminders for the summer: first, episodes will be released every other week to accommodate our busy schedules. Second, this season we are discussing “The Good Place”—WITH SPOILERS. Listen at your own risk. This week, we discuss Episode Three, “Tahani Al Jamil," and in the process tackle religion from varying perspectives. Enjoy!

Teachers Talking TV Season 3, Episode 2. Since it’s summer and Stueve is writing and Reimer is building things and Rowse is road tripping, we’ll be putting out an episode every other week. This week we dissect Episode 2 of The Good Place: “Flying.” Reminder that we talk spoilers in every episode this season. We get a little nerdy about fonts and Stueve throws down a controversial stance on storytelling near the end. It’s a fun time. Thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

We are back with another season of the podcast! This season, we tackle a brand-new show, "The Good Place." We talk openly about the series as a whole, with a pretty big spoiler, so if you haven't watched the entire series, we encourage you to do so before listening to our episodes this season. Come along for the ride this week as we talk about Chapter One of The Good Place. Stay tuned to the end for some exciting news about the Bellevue West musical! Shout out to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Teachers Talking TV Season 2: Twin Peaks Season 1, Episode 8. After a Twin Peaksian series of events and nearly a one-month break, here we are with the final episode of Twin Peaks. Be sure to listen to the end to discover what the three teachers will be talking about for season 3!

Did you miss us? We're back with the penultimate episode of this season. We wade into some interesting waters in this episode, so buckle up. We hope you enjoy Twin Peaks Season 1, Episode 7: "Realization Time."
