    Great insight!
    I love these guys! Listening to this podcast gets my mind spinning and helps me understand not just sitcoms, but stories in general.
  • Arconna
    An Informative Show!
    If learning how sitcoms work from the writing and production side is what you look for in a podcast, this show won't disappoint. James and Dave clearly have a passion for the art form, and that shows in every discussion, whether they're talking about the history of a specific show, their own writing, and even the issues that face Sitcoms as our culture changes. Give this show your earholes. Totally worth it.

    Solid
    A solid show. Plain and simple
  • Bob Teague
    Solid information
    Sitcom Geeks is a great breakdown of the art of writing sitcoms - primarily, but the comments are well worth investigating no matter what type of writing you do. The only downside is that they only release new episodes every other week.
