Listeners of MASH Matters that love the show mention:The MASH Matters podcast is a delightful and entertaining show that brings back the nostalgia of the beloved television series, M*A*S*H. The hosts, Ryan Patrick and Jeff Maxwell (who played Private Igor on the show), have created a podcast that combines their deep knowledge and love for M*A*S*H with interviews, behind-the-scenes stories, and fan discussions.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the chemistry between Ryan and Jeff. Their banter and humor make each episode enjoyable to listen to. They have a genuine passion for M*A*S*H, and it shines through in their discussions and interactions with guests. The interviews with cast members, writers, and other people involved in the making of the show provide fascinating insights into the creative process and behind-the-scenes stories.
Another great aspect is the variety of topics covered on the podcast. They dive into specific episodes, explore recurring themes, discuss character development, and even share personal anecdotes related to M*A*S*H. This wide range of topics keeps each episode fresh and engaging.
However, one minor downside is that some episodes may feel repetitive if you are binge-listening to them. Since they cover different aspects of M*A*S*H in each episode, there can be some overlap in information or discussions. This may not be an issue if you listen to episodes sporadically or over an extended period.
In conclusion, The MASH Matters podcast is a must-listen for any fan of M*A*S*H. Whether you watched the show during its original run or discovered it later on streaming platforms like HULU, this podcast offers a unique blend of entertainment, nostalgia, behind-the-scenes insights, and interviews with cast members that will keep you hooked from start to finish. The dedication of Ryan Patrick and Jeff Maxwell shines through in each episode, making it a fantastic tribute to one of television's most iconic shows.
