Prepare for The Bear | The Weekend Program

Welcome to the Weekend Program on RHAP! Each weekend, Josh Wigler and Antonio Mazzaro get together to talk about their view of the ever-shifting television landscape. It doesn’t matter if it’s a show from 2024, 1994, or 1924 — if it’s got something to do with TV, then Josh and Antonio are all over it.

This week, Josh and Antonio talk The Bear! They tell you why you should catch up on seasons 1 and 2 ahead of the season 3 premiere, question whether it belongs in the comedy genre as part of their new “TV on Trial” segment, and try to settle the binge versus weekly debate. Finally, they list their own top five episodes of The Bear.

Josh and Antonio Have a New Podcast

Welcome to the Weekend Program on RHAP! Each weekend, Josh Wigler and Antonio Mazzaro get together to talk about their view of the ever-shifting television landscape. It doesn’t matter if it’s a show from 2024, 1994, or 1924 — if it’s got something to do with TV, then Josh and Antonio are all over it. In their debut podcast, Josh and Antonio reintroduce themselves to RHAP, having been away in the Post Show Recaps mines for the past decade. They discuss their own origins as TV obsessives, use a timely milestone in TV history as a lens to talk about the power of the medium, and debate the merits of the current streaming service era.
