The Singsations Podcast: A Glee Retrospective

Lori and Eliza recap and review the sixth episode of season one; Vitamin D! Terri is back and worse than ever, wreaking havoc through the teens of McKinley High. This is a real mash-up episode, with two songs that slap harder than 90% of Glee's discography, and almost no teaching from Mr. Shue overall! Sue has it out for the Glee club more than usual, and won't stop till she ruins these high schoo...

Lori and Eliza recap and review the fifth episode of season one; The Rhodes Not Taken! Kristin Chenoweth guest stars as one of the worst characters in 'guest star' history, a woman who single-handedly makes up 7/9 of our trigger warnings. Will Mr. Shue finally do the right thing?

Let's take some time to process whatever that that was. 7:27 - discussion of a...

Lori and Eliza review and recap the first episode of Glee: Pilot! It may not be the best episode Glee ever aired, but we can quantifiably say, with 100% certainty, that it is definitely ... the first! This episode was aired in May of 2009, when it was still perfectly reasonable to blackmail students with weed possession as a felony. Wait... that's never been okay? Someone better tell Will Schueste...
