For every crime, there’s a mystery. A series of clues that lead back to the grisly, heinous answer. But Lesley and Ben stumbled on a mystery neither Jessica Fletcher nor Columbo could possible solve: what did people like about Dexter in 2006? Lesley and Ben are unimpressed with the Showtime show’s writing and narrative pacing and aren’t holding back about why.

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.
