Welcome to the Columbo Podcast, hosted by Gerry and Iain. This franchise show is an informal retrospective of both Columbo’s original run and the subsequent revival, as well as other related areas of interest. Hosted by a long-term fan of Columbo and a newcomer to the stories, the Columbo Podcast takes an affectionate look back at the detective’s investigations - from his first case to his last.
The Columbo Podcast is a truly enjoyable and entertaining podcast for fans of the classic detective series, Columbo. Hosted by Gerry and Iain, two Scottish gentlemen with a deep love and knowledge of the show, this podcast offers detailed analysis of each episode and insightful commentary on the characters, plots, and themes of the series. Their enthusiasm for Columbo is infectious, and they provide plenty of interesting facts and trivia that will enhance your viewing experience.
One of the best aspects of The Columbo Podcast is the hosts' attention to detail. They approach each episode with a clean slate, allowing them to offer unbiased reviews that delve into the content without telling listeners what to think. This refreshing approach sets them apart from other podcasts that simply describe episodes in a play-by-play manner. Gerry and Iain's genuine humor also adds to the enjoyment of the podcast, making it feel like you're having a conversation with friends who share your love for Columbo.
While there are many positive aspects to this podcast, one potential downside is adjusting to the hosts' Scottish accents and sometimes quick way of speaking. However, most American listeners will quickly adapt and appreciate the unique perspectives they bring to their discussions. Additionally, some may find it disappointing that they discovered this podcast years after its original broadcast, but fortunately, it remains timeless and can be re-listened to for years to come.
In conclusion, The Columbo Podcast is a must-listen for fans of Columbo. Gerry and Iain's passion for the show shines through in every episode as they provide engaging analysis and thoughtful commentary.
