We welcome back Rachel Collins for… just one more thing, so that we can talk about Columbo! Peter Falk starred as Lt. Columbo from 1968 to 2003 and we’re heartbroken that we can only cover one fantastic episode of this show. And since Rachel is guesting this episode, it’s the Dick van Dyke one. Whodunits, gunshots in the junkyard, photographic evidence, fan art of Columbo’s wife and the history of TV movies, we talk about this real snapshot of 20th Century pop culture.

Syndicated with Lesley and Ben is a twice monthly podcast about television, genre and storytelling in which your hosts watch one episode of a new show and explore the history of television one episode at a time. From family room sitcoms to space exploration shows, reality TV to procedurals and game shows, we’re going to cover it all and give you the context you need to understand the wonderful world of television and the stories we love.

Our Logo is by Terra Bosart, the theme song is by Mandra Sigma and the show is edited by Jay Gagnon.
