Broadwaves

Broadwaves is a podcast dedicated to finding great stuff to watch on TV and elsewhere - from the people who brought you “The Signal”. We aim to produce one 60-minute episode each month, in which we talk about, recommend, and analyse shows that you might not otherwise have heard of, are fun, and are available to watch (and our definition of “show” is quite broad - we include TV, movies, radio, books, etc.)
