Episode 69 - The EscapeGoat Podcast 5th Anniversary Specials (pt 3)

The EscapeGoat Podcast

The celebration concludes! With a final set of chats about favourite television episodes.

First up, we welcome back my brother Matt, with his formative memories of Jackass (Season 2, Episode 6 'Slingshot' from 2001). Next up we have Cat, returning to teach me the good word about the finale of much-loved sitcom The Good Place (Season 4, Episodes 13 & 14, 'Whenever You're Ready' from 2020). Then we have John, bringing the sunshine and illuminating the Christmas Special of The Morecambe and Wise Show from 1977. Finally, Olivia tells me about an imaginative and adorable bottle-episode of The Powerpuff Girls (Season 2, Episode 10a, 'The Powerpuff Girls Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever' from 2000) - and she allows me to then cap things off by rabbiting-on about a classic, operatically-satisfying Bugs Bunny cartoon 'Long-Haired Hare' from 1949.

Phew. So much fun - and thanks so much to all the guests, and listeners! We'll be back....

Check them out!

Cat works in TV editing in Los Angeles, and was the co-host of the now-concluded The Anime Movie Podcast.

John has been watching and talking about television comedy since people repeatedly started singing the theme tune to 1980s sitcom Dear John at him. He has also been on quite a few episodes of the show now - including a fab conversation about two very different 90s sitcom endings. And all of 'And Ninthly..' of course.

Olivia appeared on the show quite a while ago, on episode 4 of the show, where we discussed South Park and episode 13, where we chatted about Pokemon and Monster in my Pocket. Check them out. Olivia is also the author of Brutalist Plants. Olivia can be reached on X on @olivia_broome or on Instagram via @oliviaxbroome.

And I... I do this.
