In our Season One Finale of Syndicated with Lesley and Ben, we invite Video Games Are Good’s Nate Hermanson to talk about his wonderful soccer boys. We talk about Apple TV+, why Nate says this show feels like a sports anime, workplace comedies that showcase management vs supervisors and bosses and the weird sports commercial origins of Ted Lasso himself.

All of this and an examination of character growth and the heartfelt writing of this show. Plus, we get to talk about the unexpected appearance of Mumford and Sons. Or, at least, one Mumford.That’s all for Season One of SWLAB! We’re done talking about workplace comedies on our main feed. We’ll still have two bonus episodes coming out soon on our patreon. For Season Two though? We’re covering Adult Animation. I hope you’re all ready for Bojack Horseman comparisons!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.
