ELou05Delightfully silly but also thoughtful, smart!I don't even like commercials or watch much tv but I still love this pod. I had to post this after the latest episode popped up in my feed with this as the destination: "Andrew quizzes Vieves on her ear for spokeschickens and non-spokeschickens..." With a premise like that, you just know it's going to be good!

P H ThomasLove ItI get jazzed every week when they come up in the feed. Wonderful podcast.

B922335Years off but I’m back!So glad they are still doing this. I’m the guy that went back and forth withGenevieve in these reviews and changing my star level weekly. The tension between us was palpable… My podcast crush is as strong as ever after just one week back! Good luck and keep it up.Brian

BananaSquirrel“Ad” this podcast to your life!Andrew and Genevieve could talk about doing their taxes and I’d be entertained. Even better is listening to them praise or drag the commercials that bombard us on a daily basis. They are really great at making TV translate to audio. I usually agree with their takes but even when I don’t, it’s funny and their enthusiasm is mood-lifting!

TFab98004In my top 14!Andrew Walsh and his longtime partner Genevieve Haas discuss commercials. My favorite is the exploration of the Folgers Crystals Christmas “coming home” commercials. “Folgerscest” is a word that exists because of these commercials. I’m a lady, so I cannot say more. 🤷🏻♀️

mich bellevueLove them!Andrew and Vieves are my fave. They have great clever takes on the latest “messages.”.....

megcoletteHilarious and so well done!I LOVE this show! I was literally laughing out loud in my car this morning. Andrew and Genevieve are #couplegoals and their chemistry and conversation is riveting. The quality is awesome - I view commercials in a totally different light since listening to this show and it makes commercials actually enjoyable!
-
slappypappersonJoeLove their relationship and relatability as much or more than the actual content — though I like that too. I’d probably listen to them talk about anything Keep it up!!!
-
Nate in TacomaPreciousThis show is a gift and a delight. I can’t think of a episode that hasn’t made me laugh at least once. Thank you, Genevieve and Andrew!
-
ryan ryanGood little show there, WalsherI enjoy the banter about commercials but I wish Andrew would talk more about anagrams. He's an anagram wizard. Andrew Walsh is the first guy in Cleveland to figure out that "Mr. Mojo Risin" is a bluesy way to say, "Jim Morrison."

Jesse (name already taken)Self-important fripperyDiscussing advertisements is of some interest, but this podcast is largely the unconsidered airing of the hosts’ editorial opinions. Yet another podcast dominated by the impotent handwringing of a dullard. Genevieve should seek out a cohost who scintillates rather than this tired, wet blanket.
-
ConfaeciusSo much funI discovered this recently through another podcast and I've been binging it. The hosts are funny and super enjoyable to listen to. Highly recommended.
-
TheEileenYou don't even have to like commercialsTo like listening to people dissect them. To talk about "does it work", "is it a great commercial and I have no idea what the product is", "I hate this commercial but I will forever remember the product", and the like. They are great together and clearly have fun and that makes it a fun listen. I look at commercials slightly differently, but I've always enjoyed them, so I love the new way to look at them. It's great.
-
ConcreteLionWonderfulThis cast makes a better place of the world of TV advertising.
-
BearlMI’m hookedWhat a great pod. I enjoy the topics and conservation.
-
mad_footCharming couple lovely to spend time withI started listening to this because the host does another podcast that I listen to, with a co-host I find a little insufferable. So I was curious what he would sound like on his own. As I expected, he and his girlfriend are an absolute treat - clever and affectionate and knowledgable, and/or willing to look up what they don't know. I can listen to this with my kids, who now think critically about the advertising they see.
-
machoviakThe BestThis is one of the most interesting and hilarious podcasts out there. Listening to the hosts talk about commercials is truly fascinating. It's a fun, original and intelligent podcast that you shouldn't miss!
-
monkeyhousejoI didn't think I liked commercialsAnd maybe I still don't? But I love listening to Genevieve and Andrew talk about them. Smart, witty, irreverent, interesting... and they hate the ones I hate, too. Looking at you, Chevy guy!
-
jmsidhuLove it!Funny and easy to listen to! Love them both.
-
Auds from AkronTV talk for laypeopleAndrew and Genevieve are a power duo - smart, witty, analytical - and this podcast is hilarious, even for someone (like myself) who doesn't have cable!
-
annluvsshoesAwesome showAndrew & Genevieve are great hosts. I really enjoy listening to this podcast. I only wish it was longer.
-
Burton CooleyGreat PodcastI love this podcast. As a long time advertising wonk I can vouch for the wonderful insight I get from Genevieve & Andrew (along with the Ad Council) every week. Good stuff.
-
TierrasaysAfter these messages podcast, you'll be right back... to listen again!A fresh take on commercials. Each episode breaks down a theme employed by advertisers. Andrew and Vieve regularly involves listeners which adds to the charm of the show. A weekly must listen!
-
Sen zen1Very entertaining.This podcast is pure genius! Andrew and Genevieve are fantastic and have great insight on commercials. Warning: side effects may include, having thoughts while watching commercials that may include "Andrew and Genevieve would hate this commercial" or "I hope they talk about this commercial."
-
El CastellThis podcast will make you look forward to commercials.You may hate them, but commercials shape our world. And perhaps no one appreciates this more than Andrew Walsh and Genevieve Haas, the quick-witted, charming, insightful co-hosts of the show experts are calling "The best podcast about television commercials ever made" (or your money back). All joking aside, this weekly show is an hour of pure delight. Each episode revolves around a theme, and Andrew and Genevieve cull a representative list of commercials around that theme, then present incisive commentary of each - sometimes celebratory, sometimes scathing, but always perfectly captivating. Their guests are often industry experts and always fascinating, and their rapidly growing listener base joins the discussion with emails, v-mails and a constant flow of Facebook commentary. Over the past year, I've relived some of my favorite and most cringe-worthy TV experiences from childhood to present-day, and hearing these commercials retold through the voices of a couple whom I've grown to consider close friends rings the perfect nostalgic bell in my analog-raised soul. Give the show a listen, but beware: once you pop, you can't stop.

Elaine&BooneLots fun to listen toI first started listening to Andrew on TBTL. When he & Genevieve started this podcast I wasn't sure I would listen thinking maybe it would be Andrew over exposure. I am so glad I decided to give it a try. The chemistry is great & its always a fun time.
-
Tracinator1Fun and FunnyI love Andrew from TBTL and it's wonderful getting to know Genevieve. If you love or hate commercials, give this a listen. There is something for everyone.
-
pbugalaI can confirm . . .. . . all highrollas do, in fact, drive Corollas. Anyway, Andrew and Genevieve will lure you in with their ability to make talking about commercials you can't see a lot of fun. However, what will keep you coming back for more is their chemistry and respect for their audience. It's like catching up with old friends once a week.
-
Tardis#10Fantastic!This is a wonderful podcast about the world of advertising. Interesting themes and discussions make each episode a delight!
-
warren z5 stars + 15 stars for having Air-Raid on your show, + 1 more star for coining the term "Big Dick Cider". So much fun.
-
El DopoSo smart!These guys are smart and funny! Love it. Thanks for every episode!
-
Cake and bubblesThis podcast makes me watch commercialsI usually hate commercials, but now I find myself googling everything from ads for fried chicken to retro Smokey Bear (not 'the' bear I learned) PSAs. Especially loved the episode with special guest Cat Solen. Keep it up guys!!
-
MannydogListen to this podcast!Have loved listening to Andrew for ages on TBTL, but hearing him with his longtime partner Genevieve on ATM is great in a whole different way. She is equally engaging and the dynamic between the two is charming.
-
UrsulaUtahooLovin’ every minute of it!Charming! I love Andrew and Genevieve!
-
40 lb shakerFun topicsGood insights and fun topics. I only suggest not taking the ads so seriously, their just commercials. Who cares if they play on stereotypes.
-
IjusydontxareGreat podcast!Genevieve and Andrew do a great job of breaking down the worst and best commercials. Always worth a laugh, and love their insight.
-
yaKelmeyerDelightful Radio GoldI have found that after listening to this podcast, I now can tolerate and even appreciate commercials. Andrew and Genevieve are a great duo, true partners in crime tearing apart advertisements drone today and the olden days. They are, radio gold.
-
EFGirlOne of my favorites!!!I look forward to this podcast every week. Andrew and Genevieve always say what's on my mind when I watch commercials. Interesting take on what many of us fast-forward.
-
diegothedreadfulI don't even own a television......but this postcast is a friend of mine. Genevieve and Andrew have great chemistry, and they give interesting and funny takes on individual ads, ad campaigns, and more. Highly recommended.
-
arterialturnsThis Broadcast Totally LovelyI love it. I love their selections, their analysis, and their built-in chemistry. They occasionally go on somewhat non-commercial related tangents, but those are enjoyable as well. I really like the closing music , too. Looking forward to more, keep it up!
-
susievavAndrew and Genevieve forever!I love this podcast. I love hearing more from Andrew, I love their chemistry, I love their wit, I love the content. The election podcast cracked me up, and after listening I felt it was my duty to write a review to tell the world!
-
superdandelionSmart! Funny!Love these guys! They have the perfect mix of skepticism and fandom that makes this kind of pop culture analysis delightful. Great chemistry and they’re very funny. Bravo!
-
ZacphI eat it up like a pig ornament at a vegan Christmas dinner!I think listener slr_ptown nailed it, “it’s like eavesdropping on your funny, smart, self-deprecating friends.” It’s fun when they hit on the very same aspects of commercials I have often thought about on my own. It’s interesting when they provide takes on familiar commercials that never occurred to me. Most importantly, it’s entertaining from beginning to end thanks to their natural chemistry and sharp wit. Already looking forward to next week’s episode!
-
PodroachNew favoriteIt’s always funny to hear someone describe a commercial and they have so much fun with them on this podcast. They hit a good balance between enjoying, making fun of, and analyzing video advertisements and I appreciate how they are very social conscious while still keeping a light, humorous tone.
-
$$D-nizz$$Wish it were longer!I could listen to Andrew & Genevieve all day.
-
MnWreckingCrewWanted To Like It......but can’t. I looked forward to honest reviews, both good & bad, but they only discuss what they love. Seems to be too influenced by ad companies. How about some opinions from a consumers’ point of view? You won’t find that here.
-
saraaadezzzBad commercials make a great podcastI just discovered this podcast today and I’m loving it. Andrew and Genevieve have great chemistry and their banter about what makes or breaks a commercial is awesome. Binged all of the released episodes in one go.
-
andreainolyFunny and thoughtfulNot being a heavy TV consumer I wasn’t sure I’d be able to follow much of this but I was wrong. The content is great and well-explained, they somehow are able to vividly describe a visual medium in a funny and thought provoking way. I especially like it when they tangent off into other topics…feels like you are sitting at a kitchen table with some of your smartest and funniest friends.
