Normal People, The Last Dance, and The Challenge

You work hard. TV is overcrowded. Other podcasts wish for show outcomes rather than discuss what happens. Not Taking It Down, The Alabama Take's TV podcast. Every episode begins spoiler free so that you can decide: is this show worth my time? Then the podcast goes deeper. Taking It Down analyzes what's on screen and what it means to the working class, both text and subtext. This is for people who love TV, think critically, work hard, and can't chase takes. Every episode brings thoughtful interpretation, honesty, and perfect recommendations. Join hosts Blaine, Adam, and Donovan each Tuesday morning.
