The Frasier Department

Mid-season debrief

Your hosts go to an experimental New York theater piece, acknowledge the apparent but not definite end of Frasier (2023-), and update you on the schedule for the near future of this podcast. Is this the shape of things to come? Yeah, it is.

S2E5: The Squash Courtship of Freddy's Father

Frasier revisits a torrid affair and his horrid short shorts. Harriet Sansom Harris (returning from the original) and Rachel Bloom (promoted from super-fan) have a talking-like-this contest. Your hosts Lucas and Leila demand that someone pay attention to David.

S2E4: The Dedication

Frasier commits some crimes, forcing Alan to be the adult in the room. Freddy and Eve drink to remember… and to forget. Everyone forgets about David. Your hosts debate the true meaning of The Dedication.

Jess Salgueiro!!! interview?!

Months after the promotional period for Frasier S2, the incomparable Jess Salgueiro (Eve!) is kind enough to talk to us about the show.
What's Eve's karaoke go-to? What's it like to be directed by your six-time-Emmy-winning co-star? How do you spin a ham? Hear the answers to these questions, and more.

S2E3: All About Eve

Co-host Lucas pays for all his Star Trek talk when co-host Leila finds multiple opportunities to talk about The Big Bang Theory. On the actual show, Roz returns to stand up for the next generation of single moms against the chauvinism of every generation of men.

S2E2: Cyrano, Cyrano

Eve and Freddy's cynicism drives Frasier to excessive sincerity. Alan gets his groove back. Bender Bending Rodriguez gets high, maybe. The show's least subtle joke flies right over the inflated heads of hosts Lucas and Leila.

S2E1: Ham

An enchanted tchotchke leads to broken friendships, shattered pitchers, and called exes. Hosts Lucas and Leila debate which noises are funny.

The rest of our @fromthedeskofmariscrane interview

It's Frasier podception: in a cut scene from our 5th episode, hosts Lucas and Leila talk to unrelated Frasier podcast host Steve about Nicholas Lyndhurst, Roz, and (most controversially) how many episodes of Frasier there are.

Bonus? Thanksgiving commentary

Podcast hosts Lucas and Leila slingshot around the sun, fly to 1996, and talk over the OG Frasier ep "A Lilith Thanksgiving." Happy holiday, Americans!

Season 1 Recap

Hosts Lucas and Leila, clinging to 2023 like a life preserver, continue to talk about season 1.
