It's Podjiba's End Of The Year Show (With Special Guests)!

This week: It’s the Podjiba year-end special! Which means, as always, we’ve got special guests (Producer Seth, TV Editor Kaleena, and Pajiba alum/Vulture TV Critic Roxana Hadadi!) on this extra-long, final* episode of 2025!

(*Final unless we record a brief recap of thoughts about the Survivor finale, which may or may not happen!)

Besides our favorite shows of the year (which, I should note, were adjusted as we went along, as people took some shows off their lists so that we could cover more ground), we talked about favorite moments, what we’re looking forward to next year, and of course, the shows we loved that Roxana didn’t!

We’ll be back in the new year but otherwise, here’s our favorites (not necessarily in order, and remember there are more overlaps than appear!) from 2025!
