Listeners of Welcome to Level Seven that love the show mention:The Welcome to Level Seven podcast is an absolute delight for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hosted by Ben Avery and Daniel Butcher, this podcast provides in-depth analysis and discussions on all things related to the MCU, with a primary focus on the TV series Agents of SHIELD. The hosts bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to their discussions, making it a truly enjoyable listen.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the hosts' extensive knowledge of the source material. They frequently reference the comics and other media that inspired the MCU, providing valuable insights and connections that enhance the overall understanding and appreciation of the franchise. Their research is thorough, ensuring that listeners are getting accurate and up-to-date information on all things MCU.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its inclusivity and engagement with its listeners. Ben and Daniel value feedback from their audience, often incorporating listener comments and theories into their discussions. They create a sense of community among fans by encouraging interaction through social media platforms.
However, one possible downside to the Welcome to Level Seven podcast is its narrow focus on Agents of SHIELD. While it's understandable given their expertise in this particular series, some listeners may prefer a more comprehensive coverage of other MCU shows or movies. It would be beneficial if they expanded their discussions to include more content from the wider Marvel universe.
In conclusion, if you're a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or Agents of SHIELD specifically, I highly recommend giving the Welcome to Level Seven podcast a listen. Ben Avery and Daniel Butcher provide insightful analysis, engaging discussions, and an overall entertaining experience for all fans. Their passion for the source material shines through in each episode, making it a must-listen for any Marvel enthusiast.

We continue our coverage (started a few YEARS ago) of PUNISHER in a new/old format. “New” to Punisher . . . but “old” because we've used this before in some of the other series we fell behind on. Going forward – new shows will continue to be explored one episode at a time, but backlog […]
