Been a bit too busy lately to follow this podcast, so I’m catching back up now. I was actually born a few days before the pilot, so I’ve quite literally grown up with the show. I didn’t even like watching Sesame Street. But you couldn’t get me to watch just about anything else. For whatever reason, I was drawn to MASH. I’ve been digging this podcast and hearing how it’s positively affected so many people. Keep it up guys! Peace!

MASH fan from birth.

I have been listening to this podcast ever since I learned about it from a Comic Con and I love it. As a MASH fan from childhood who has frequently rewatched the series, this is a way to get more depth and understanding of the groundbreaking show. I'm already looking forward to my next rewatch after hearing these interesting behind the scene perspectives. Jeff and Ryan are fun, knowledgeable, and big hearted in their preparation and delivery of the podcast. Highly recommend this one to make your day better.

Title says it all...MASH definitely matters

I really love the way the hosts talk with each other. I also love how Jeff is very honest about the filming process especially from the point of view of a background extra then to a standing perspective. I work in film and tv as a makeup artist and it’s nice to hear what it was like from someone that glitz and glam of it all.
I was military so watching this gives me the feeling I miss of serving. This show also takes me back to the days of watching it with my older brother. This is my first podcast ever and I’m really enjoying it. Thank you, Jed

Great way to relive the show again
