Description

There's so much TV, it’s time to talk about it in a different way. Hosted by TV development veterans Dan Brown and Brandy Crawford-Uriu, TV BFFs is a podcast about the TV shows that people love most! From evergreen episodes like guest interviews and series-specific deep-dives to more current-facing content like year-end lists and Emmy reactions, every conversation is based on what we call the BFF Criteria. What are the BEST shows you've seen, what are your FAVORITES, and what are the series you could watch FOREVER? From comedians and podcasters to authors and producers, no two BFF Criteria are the same. So if you're looking for a new way to get TV recommendations or you just want to hear amazing personalities talk about the shows most influential to them, then TV BFFs is the podcast for you!
