The first episode proper of The Spinoff’s TV Week, a weekly (duh) podcast in which Duncan Greive and Alex Casey from TheSpinoff.co.nz talk about what they’re watching on television and how they feel about it.

This installment discusses the exceptional debut of TVNZ’s ‘iZombie’, SoHo’s amazing documentary series ‘The Jinx’ and Better Call Saul’s ‘Five-O’ episode, which tells the backstory of Mike Ehrmentraut. We also discuss the second week of The Xtra Factor and Prime’s three part censorship documentary, The Naughty Bits. Special thanks to Kiwi FM (RIP) for letting us record in their fancy studio, Dan Clist for all his help and Joseph Moore for the bangin’ theme tune.

The pod will be live on iTunes and all good podcast places soon, and may already be (we’re not the most technologically adept website in the world).

Brand new judges. The same old singers. Slightly different podcast guests. With Joseph Moore fleeing our smiley and sanitised bully-free country to the mean streets of Melbourne, Nic Sampson is joined by Spinoff staff writer Alex Casey and Perlina Lau, soon to be social media presenter on the new Paul Henry breakfast show.

Together they dissect the first week without KillsMoon, the new judges, and those pesky old performances. The episode also features feedback from Perlina’s 90 year-old grandmother, some man brooch confusion and a pitch for the new Streets Fruttare campaign.
