The Hosts, The Producer, The Guest. We’re assembling a crack team of specialists to talk about Leverage, the heist show about criminals who rob the wealthy and corrupt. Lesley and Ben are joined by Adam P Knave, who brought us Season 2, Episode 1: The Beantown Bailout Job. We talk about safecracking, stunts and the contemporary politics of Obama Era crime and the 2008 Financial Crisis. We keep it pretty lighthearted around here. We also take a moment to talk about the luxury watch market.

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.
