The Televerse #478- Spotlight on Betty Season 1

It’s been another anxious week, let’s talk some TV. This episode, we kick things off with Our Week in TV, including another fabulous The Amber Ruffin Show, the finale of Archer, a perilous DuckTales, A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote—btw everyone, VOTE!!—The Great British Bake Off, and The Amazing Race. Afterward, we head to the season spotlight and catch up with season one of HBO’s Betty, a slice-of-life half-hour series following young women skateboarders in New York City. Take a listen for our thoughts, then reach out with your own take on the week’s TV, Betty, and how you’re destressing during this particularly tense time.

The Televerse #477- Spotlight on What the Constitution Means to Me

We’re headed into what’s bound to be a particularly stressful week of political news in the United States, so here on the podcast we decided it was a good time to check in with What the Constitution Means to Me, a (mostly one-woman) play by Heidi Schreck that was filmed and is available streaming on Amazon Prime. Before that, though, there’s plenty of TV to discuss. Kate shares a few thoughts on the finale of Lovecraft Country, Noel and Kate have plenty of thoughts on the finale of The Vow, we celebrate the premiere of Supermarket Sweep, discuss brownies and white chocolate on The Great British Bake Off, talk racism on The Amazing Race, and dive in with the double-length Darkwing Duck special on DuckTales. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on What the Constitution Means to Me, the rest of the week’s TV, and whatever else you’ve been watching.
