Episode 27 - 2020 In Review
1/1/2021
Max and Michael have been stringently following lockdown and rules and, fearful of transmitting the 'rona through the radio waves, have been silent for all that time. They have braved disease and ridicule now though to bring you their review of 2020's TV, including all new special categories as well as the traditional top 10 of the year.

Episode 24 - Don't Ask About Episode 23
7/12/2019
Max and Michael have hurdled technological obstacles and braved the strong winds of audio editing to bring you the 24th episode of WIGWIONAWS. You didn't miss anything in episode 23 unless you're a big fan of listening to us wax lyrical about Line of Duty. This month What We Do In The Shadows, Good Omens and Season 3 of the Expanse (complete with spoilers) are put under the microscope but the big question is whether Chernobyl really is the greatest TV show of all time. Listen in to find out....

Episode 23a - Game of Thrones Special
6/15/2019
It's technological mayhem here at WIGWIONAWS HQ, hence why this special addendum episode to episode 23 is out before the actual episode itself! Max and Michael take some time to discuss the end of Game of Thrones, the final season and the story overall as we try to work out what to do with the rest of our lives now. Obviously, massive spoilers as if you couldn't guess. Apologies for the poor sound quality (even by our standards) of this episode. We will be back to our usual methods for the...

Episode 22 - We're Sucking Diesel Now
4/22/2019
It is Easter and lo, Max and Michael are returned to you with another serving of TV chit-chat. This month it's time to go deep on Line of Duty (spoiler-free) and the OA (very not spoiler-free) with a sideways glance at a few other ships in the night. Big ol' spoilers for seasons 1 and 2 of the OA are contained within that particular segment but you will be forewarned in plenty of time to switch off or skip ahead. Line of Duty is spoiler-free, we'll discuss the events of season 5 on next...

Episode 21 - Art or Science?
4/8/2019
Spring is in the air which can only mean it's time to do the same thing we do every time we record a podcast, talk TV! Max and Michael discuss many different things in this month's episode but the big debate is what is art and what is science? If you have any thoughts please send them through to wigwionaws@gmail.com or tweet @wigwionaws Spoilers in this episode for season 1 of the Punisher in our discussion of season 2. There are no spoilers for season 2. 00:00 - Intro 04:20 - Quick Cuts...

It's been a while but Max and Michael return for 2019 with some views on what they've been watching in the first part of the year as well as some wildly out-of-date chat about new TV shows that are coming up (blame the editor). 00:00 - Intro 03:46 - Quick Cuts 13:36 - Rebellion 20:16 - Requiem 26:31 - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Post-Finale Overview 33:51 - Les Miserables 48:57 - What Does The Future Hold? 56:56 - Outro

Episode 18 - The Forgotten Advent Calendar
12/2/2018
Episode 18 of WIGWIONAWS finds the boys attempting to really just punch out a quick podcast and finding they are incapable of talking for less than an hour. Hearken to Max being rendered speechless by the injustice of Prime's shunning of Patriot and Michael attempting to claim that BBC's Informer is not a documentary about mainstream and quickly-forgotten mid-90s UK rap. The podcast contains spoilers for season 2 of the Sinner and minor spoilers for season 1 of Patriot. 00:00 - Intro 03:40 -...

Episode 17 - Flat Possibilities
10/31/2018
In the October offering of WIGWIONAWS (yes, I know it's November), Max and Michael finally get to the heart of what everyone wants to hear and talk Grand Designs. There's some other stuff in there too, mostly about Max's Disney-Marvel conspiracy theories, how Max and Michael format the spreadsheets they record their viewing habits in and failing to correctly guess how long the podcast would be. There are spoilers for Star Trek Discovery and small spoilers for Daredevil. 00:00 - Intro 02:01 -...

Episode 16 - Pound to Hash
9/27/2018
In this episode Michael and Max are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of TV that is piling up and throw structure to the wind in favour of just trying to talk about as much TV as possible. All content is spoiler-free except for the discussion of Legion s2 which as far from spoiler-free as it is possible to be. 00:00 - Intro 05:24 - Quick Cuts (The Bodyguard (BBC), The Vietnam War (Netflix)) 11:38 - Succession (Sky Atlantic/Now TV) 18:04 - Happy!

Episode 15 - Peripheral Dystopia

Max and Michael return with an extra long episode because they don't know how to edit themselves. This month they take a look at season 2 of the Handmaid's Tale (complete with spoilers), season 2 of Atlanta, season 2 of Luke Cage (with very mild spoilers for season 1) and all of Community (one part without spoilers, one part with).

7/14/2018
It's July and everybody's got World Cup fever! To celebrate, Michael and Max discuss the weather that's been happening while the World Cup is on before quickly moving on to more traditional fare. There are no spoilers about anything in this episode unless you didn't know that somebody gets murdered in The Bridge or that GLOW is about wrestling. If you didn't know that I just ruined it for you anyway so you may as well listen. Before anyone slams the terrible editing in this episode, yes, the...

Episode 13 - Springwatch Special
6/13/2018
This month Max and Michael run the gamut from English political farce to US Teen Superheroes. Is that the full extent of a gamut? What's a gamut? Who knows. A Very English Scandal, Marvel's Runaways and Silicon Valley take the brunt of the love this week but see below for the full running order. Spoilers for season 5 of Silicon Valley lie within but only in the marked section which you will be given plenty of warning of in the show if you want to avoid. 00:00 - Intro 04:19 - Quick Cuts...
