    Very enjoyable podcast!
    I came across this podcast and have really liked learning more about Antiques Roadshow and items they have had on the show. It’s fun to hear more history or backstory of certain items! I’ve always wondered how appraising and fact checking works and I’ve learned some from listening. I actually have a greater appreciation for antiques and have better understanding of why people are so interested in them! I also think Adam is a great host. Thank you! I look forward to new episodes!

    Adam is a hilarious, smart host who discusses his research in depth with experts, historians, and appraisers. I listened to every episode and only wish he would produce them more often! Definitely worth a listen.

    My family and A.R.
    My family has always thoroughly enjoyed Antiques Roadshow… and this behind the scenes podcast, just adds that much more dimension to an already enjoyable television show. Now if I can only introduce my parents to Detours, I think they would get just as much enjoyment as I do… if not more!!
  • Oldbutspecial
    Interesting follow up
    Subject interesting but voices get annoying, especially Marsha and her hackling.
  • dikacats
    Lots to learn
    I love this deep dive into items that appear on the show- and always learn some history. It is well done and just the right length of time.
  • DarthMonkee
    What a treasure!
    I stumbled on this podcast while reading an email from PBS regarding Antiques Roadshow, one of my favorite shows to watch. I binged the first season and am enthralled. I love hearing the backstories of some of the items I’ve watched appraised on the show. And Adam is a wonderful podcast host!
  • REZNIL JANNERY
    Wonderful
    Well done, as usual.
  • Missheartcore

    As someone who loves to cozy up to the weekly episode of Antiques Roadshow, this podcast expanded universe is the perfect listen. You find yourself enthralled, relaxed, and packed with a bit more knowledge than you had before. Love the deep dive into some of the unique finds that have been on Antiques Roadshow. I’m consistently excited for each new episode.

  • APopio
    If you love antiques roadshow, you’ll love this podcast
    This host is great to listen to, the show is well-produced, they add interesting and in-depth information to specific items the tv show has uncovered, but you don’t have to be a viewer to understand or enjoy the podcast. I highly recommend this! I find it soothing, entertaining, and enlightening.

    Episode 2 has a History Detective Vibe
    I adored History Detectives on PBS and this is the closest replacement I’ve found. Enjoying the podcast.

    I’ve loved antiques roadshow since I was a kid

    Not quite what I expected (unfortunately)
    I’ve been a big fan of Antiques Roadshow since the days when Chris Jussel was the host (since the beginning of the U.S. version). I also enjoy the UK version. I never miss an episode. I was very glad to learn that this podcast was starting up, and really looked forward to it. Although I thought that the first couple of episodes (PT109 flag; Poe daguerreotype) were interesting, I was distracted by the attempts at humor by Adam and Marsha. I just listened to the episode about the Korean panels, and the distraction was taken to another level. I love comedy, and I love to laugh, but this show is not funny. The only thing worse than someone trying too hard to be funny is when they constantly laugh obnoxiously at their own attempts at humor. The podcast has a lot of potential. Just please tone down the funny. The star of the show ought to be the stories. Edit: about a year later, and I just sampled an episode from season two (the Rolex). Inside one minute, We have Adam and Marsha still trying to be comedians, and laughing obnoxiously at things that are not very funny. Sad.

    Bring Back Detours
    I truly hope that this podcast returns with new shows because Adam does a tremendous job of telling these fascinating - and in several cases - moving stories. So please come back soon.

    Case of Missing Panels
    This episode was so annoying. The speakers were trying to present this in a funny way but it was BADLY done especially the cackling of the woman laughing at nothing funny. Please go back to your old style without all the phony affectations.
  • Way Cool Mom
    Please come back for Season 2!
    Thoroughly enjoyed this series. I’d like more, please!
  • EmmyfromSD
    Please create more episodes!
    So so good! Informational and entertaining!! I’d love to hear more episodes!!
  • Debra...
    Love this podcast
    Binged it all in one day. Please come back for Season 2!
  • Tapkap
    please stop
    the forced laughter and embarrassing attempts at humor render this interesting subject matter unlistenable for me .
  • Savagekel
    Deep Dive into History
    I'm a long-time fan of Antiques Roadshow and this podcast dives deep into one story from the show. Stories and history are what I love about the show and this podcast takes that into the next level. I can't wait for Season 2!
  • 5339kln
    Season 2?
    We need more episodes!
  • bustor125
    Can’t wait for more!
    Antiques Roadshow is one of my favorite things in this world, and a friend who knows that about me just told me about this podcast and I’m just so thrilled to have another way to get my roadshow fix! Can’t wait for the next season!
  • allie_beee.3
    Excellent historical intrigue
    Amazingly created and produced. The stories are engaging and for a starting podcast you’d think they had been making episodes for years. I can’t wait for more.
  • Jane27648
    We Need A Second Season
    This podcast has been such an interesting and captivating way to spend part of my day. I have always loved the antiques roadshow but never imagined some of the behind the scenes stories that we talked about in this podcast. Who knew the FBI helped people locate art stolen from their families by the Nazis?! Please keep the episodes coming. This was a wonderful podcast!
  • Jayniej16
    So Great!!
    Can’t wait for season 2!! This was so great!! One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to! Right up there with Last Seen!
  • stars hollow 90287
