Game Shows, I Suppose

Jordan Hass started this podcast because, as he puts it, none of his friends want to talk about game shows with him. That relatable loneliness turned into 236 episodes of one man's passionate, funny, and surprisingly detailed commentary on television game shows past and present. Jeopardy! is a major recurring topic -- he covers Jeopardy Masters, Pop Culture Jeopardy, Tournament of Champions arcs, and regular season streaks with the attention of someone who genuinely cares about the outcomes. But the show also ranges across Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, new game show premieres, and revivals of classic formats, giving it a broader appeal for anyone who finds themselves watching more than one show in the genre. Hass has a self-deprecating comedic style that keeps things light even when he is getting granular about scoring patterns or host performances. Episodes drop semiweekly, and at 4.8 stars from 21 reviews on Apple, the audience clearly appreciates his approach. The explicit content rating means he does not hold back on opinions, which is refreshing in a space where most commentary stays politely neutral. If Jeopardy! is your primary interest but you are also the kind of person who has watched a random game show pilot at 2 AM, Jordan gets you.
