In the latest episode of BroadwayWorld's "Some Like it Pop" Podcast, Jennifer McHugh and I check back in on some of our favorite shows of the fall, discuss two of our favorite "fluff" TV shows, and begrudgingly give each other credit where it is due. We also get the bottom of Jenn's LES MIS inspired screenname.

While we generally agree on this week's topics, we debate recent Netflix release MASTER OF NONE, cable TV prestige series THE LEFTOVERS and FARGO, beloved network fluff shows SCANDAL and IZOMBIE, and we give each other credit for encouraging the other to watch THE GRINDER and JANE THE VIRGIN.

As we wind down 2015, we will have another episode before the end of the year that will focus on some holiday favorites, as well as making lists and checking them twice. Then in the new year, we will finally be releasing "Some Like it Pop" on iTunes. So, get your earbuds ready!

Also, apparently, I was in a feisty mood when we recorded this episode, because I yelled "Damn!" like half a dozen times. So, I guess parental discretion is advised.
