Love this podcast! Always makes me smile!

you guys are sooooo my people it’s actually insane. love the podcast, thanks for bringing so many of us so much joy by talking about this silly show 🫶

thx u ina and leean:) love the show

If you watched Glee growing up and are interested in the lives of some people who went to college for theatre then this is the podcast for you. These two host are extremely relatable and go into detail about our complicated feelings about the tv show Glee. They had been on hiatus for a min, but now they’re back!

I’m on your review of i kissed a girl right now and I wish the comments under all of the songs on YouTube were like this

Fun fact:I was in seussical when I was 10(the judge guy mostly because I can’t sing) Anyway great podcast (I’m literally listening to my first because I used to have way too much in my pod backlog but still) Also I’m Lars he/him Also also maybe the football game was evening of the 3rd of January as it was 61 Fahrenheit somehow in Cincinnati

Only this show about glee could get me to start watching Buffy the vampire slayer

I love these gays <3

This scratches an itch in my brain. Like me and this podcast are on the same wavelength i cant even describe it. Anyway 5 stars for introducing me to community (which is now my favorite show of all time and i'll always associate it with Lena and Ian) i would give you 10 stars if you could somehow produce a version of glee that's just Alex's predictions. I am so serious I would be so emotionally invested in any and ALL of his plotlines even the insane ones.

you both are amazing and thank you for bringing me so much joy every single week! thank you for all you do!!!❤️

Ian and Lena are my best friend who have never met me. They’re got a wonderful rhythm to the podcast. They’ve got nuanced takes but they’re so GD funny. They’re created a beautiful rapport that’s so amazing to listen in on. The only podcast that has made me laugh out loud in my car multiple times.

Feeling so happy that I stumbled onto their Tik Tok! I have gone back to the beginning and started binging the whole thing. It now my favorite part of the day! I love both hosts and all of their insights into glee! I can’t wait to see where they end up going after they finished with glee! I also am a huge fan of enemy of the podcast Alex, he’s hilarious. Shoutout to you guys! 💓

Gaaaaaaay uhhhhhhh :)

I don’t know how two people younger than me are my parents, but here we are. Lena and Ian are 100% my people. Never has a podcast made me feel so seen. If you were ever a fan of anything Glee, musical theater, Disney, etc. This the podcast for you! If you don’t like those things then reevaluate your life, idk.

Truly the only podcast I listen to every week!!!! I just moved to a new city, but Ian and Lena make me feel like I’m on the phone with a friend and I’m so thankful💕💕 I am also certified Glee Trash™️ and their glee takes are almost always spot on

if you like glee and don’t listen you’re silly!!!!!!! best podcast ever!! my two besties

Keeping the Glee love alive and adding an absolute joy to my mornings. What a perfectly cathartic and hilarious way to indulge in my Glee addiction😜

This podcast is really hilarious. I’m afraid I think it’s so fantastic because it’s basically just what I would do if I were to have a glee podcast with my friends but I really do love that. It’s fun! I love that you guys are doing this cause any of us could have done it and you did it and ROCK IT !!! I’m writing this review as I’m listening to your Preggers episode haha. Loving this podcast, I watched glee as it aired every week from the pilot until the penultimate episode (I figured if I didn’t watch the finale it wouldn’t be over) and I’ve been periodically rewatching the first 3 seasons since quarantine started. Glad I found this to add to my current rewatch! Anyone who loves glee should listen to this podcast

Hands down my favorite podcast. Lena and Ian are so much fun to listen to - they cover everything in such a satisfying way, and add insights that you didn't know you needed (but you do). They are so funny and engaging, thoughtful and relatable. They talk a lot about the good and don't shy away from discussing the bad, but they stay respectful throughout. I only discovered Glee a year ago, and am older than the "target audience" so have no one in real life to talk to about the show. Lena and Ian make me feel like I'm one of the family, or part of their own little watch party / book club. Whether it's their main show covering each episode of Glee in depth, or their minisodes where they share and discuss insights from their listeners, Recovering Gleek is the thing I look forward to every week, more than anything else that I watch or listen to. If you've ever watched Glee, this is worth a listen - if you haven't, you might want to start watching, so you can get in on this podcast!

I want to be best friends with them!

The amount of times I’ve said “frankly” and “hear me out” has increased a tenfold since I started listening to these two. But I’m okay with it.

this podcast makes me feel like i’m in a conversation with my best friends even though i don’t know the creators at all. as a former theatre kid who is now working from home it definitely fills a void that’s been missing and makes me feel less alone so thank you 💗💗

This podcast is great for all the will shuester haters 😝

i absolutely love this podcast. just hearing two best friends have the time of their lives talking about a show that meant so much to both of them. they are so funny and i’m so sad i’ve finally caught up because now i have to wait and i can’t binge listen anymore

My favorite genre of podcasts is tv show recaps and honestly I would listen to Ian and Lena recap ANY show. I love that they put in little tidbits of their personal lives, it’s like listening to two of my best friends talk and they always keep me laughing! I find myself telling every person that so much as mentions Dolly Parton that she wrote both Jolene and I Will Always Love You in the same day, so I’d say this podcast is educational as well as entertaining. I’ve loved every episode and will no doubt love all the future episodes. Here’s hoping they’ll recap another show afterwords because I need them in my life 5ever.

Love this podcast! I got hooked on you guys via Tik and also the Tok and I have been rewatching Glee, then immediately listening to the podcast to see how much we agree, spoiler alert its a lot. I’m hoping to catch up with you and listen weekly! Also Ian is super handsome and I’m openly weeping that he doesn’t play for my team! And Lena is my emotional soulmate, girl I cry at everything too! Love you guys!

I’m working at USF this summer and started rewatching Glee. My roommate (shoutout to Emily!) went to school with Lena and Ian and told me to listen to this podcast and I can’t stop bingeing it. It’s so funny hearing them talk about the same town I’m living in and I love (most) of their takes. Honestly, I just wish I could actually talk to them about this show.

this is my favorite podcast because you're obviously giving more thought to this show than the writers did

I look forward to this show every week. Lena and Ian are so charming and funny. Makes me feel really good about their generation. There’s some super awesome people on it.

Like Ian and Lena, I grew up alongside the Glee characters and need to sort out my feelings about the show. This is exactly how my sister and I talk about Glee: we just want to laugh at it (not with it) and poke holes and cringe at Mr. Shue rapping, but also begrudgingly/ironically/genuinely?? respect and like lot about the show, too. This podcast is so so funny and it’s unlocking some deep memories (I totally forgot I had season 1 on DVD in a boxed set- Gleek streak runs deeper than I thought, yikesss, relapse impending). You’re doing important work!

This podcast is so much so fun to listen to, Ian and Lena are so funny and entertaining and I look forward to it every Monday and Wednesday for the episodes. I love glee so much but have no one to talk to about it so I’m so glad that I have this podcast to listen to. I found this podcast on tik tok and I saw a bunch of tik toks but the one that made me look for the podcast was the one about Michael Jackson and “who are these b boys”. Ever since then I’ve been hooked. I’ve literally put the days the episodes come out and what episode it will be in my calendar. Anyways, Lena and Ian if u guys see this I’m proud of you guys for how far you’ve come and for moving to NY and can’t wait to see you guys become big stars ✨.

I have been listening to this podcast for probably a year now and have heard basically every episode, and it’s one of the best things to ever happen to me. Lena and Ian both truly feel like my best friends, and being able to hear two people share the same amounts of love for this show that I do makes me so happy. I love coming back every week to smile, laugh, and cry with them, and I could not imagine my week without it. I think Rachel was truly right when she said being apart of something special makes you special, because this podcast is so special to me:)

This podcast feels like hanging out with friends in the very best way. I love their Glee hot takes, and I love hearing about their lives. Even if they did inadvertently out me to my husband for naming our kid after a Glee character. He was bound to find out sooner or later.

Ian, has anyone ever told you you look like Chris Wood, Bc you do. Anyway, love this podcast :)

This is a great podcast where the love and shame of being a gleek come together perfectly. Lena and Ian immediately make you feel like they’re your best friends. Reliving ALL THOSE FEELINGS of watching Glee with two hilarious hosts who understand everything you are feeling about it is comforting and makes the commute to and from work a lot more enjoyable. (Now the world has just gotta get Glee back on a normal streaming service so I can rewatch along with LPC and Ian)

I have been thinking about watching Glee since I never finished the series, but hesitated because it goes off the rails so much. It is also not always easy to watch after the losses of Corey Monteith and Naya Rivera, and everything that happened with Mark Salling. BUT, finding this hilarious podcast via Tik Tok where they not only make me laugh out loud multiple times each episode, but also do an incredible job of separating the actor from the work. Thank you to both Lena and Ian. Your collective sense of humor and knowledge about all things musical theater have both made this a truly special podcast.

This podcast is so funny! When they say their favorite parts of each episode I laugh so much. And everything they say is so relatable to musical theater people. I have to stop listening when I’m in class because I cackle out loud every time! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

baby likes his soup

I have been listening to Ian and Lena talk about glee for over a year now and I just want to give you guys a great review and share how much y’all have helped me in the past year. I love listening to you guys every week it is truly one of my favorite things. Y'all never fail to make me laugh and even though I definitely do not know you guys it does feel like we are friends (will be talking to my therapist about this lol). I love hearing about your lives and how you are doing too! Congrats Ian on getting cast in an off broadway play!!!! So insanely happy for you!!! (Also I feel I should add that on the open psychometric test my top character was Chandler Bing). Love this podcast and just keep doing what you’re doing cause you both are so awesome!!

Love this show! Always makes me laugh when I’m not in the mood to! :)

when I was stressed or need any emotional comfort I'd watch glee. Now I listen to this. Because Netflix decided to be homophobic and take it off. Thanks so much! I listen almost daily... I don't have friends and Lena and Ian are my friends.

I have been listening to these two talk about glee for more than a year now and let me just say, I can’t imagine I’ll stop listening any time soon. I love tuning in every week not only to hear about glee, but to get to share the kindness and laughter of two twenty something randos who I have never met, yet who I know more about than many of my real life friends (lol). If you are thinking of giving the pod a listen: give it a try and if you are anything like me, you’ll be hooked. Much love to Ian and Lena!

it took me a while to understand why lena was saying h yeah ⭐️ and now i say h yeah when i found this podcast i couldn’t stop listening and it was my most listened to podcast for 2021! you guys are such fun people and i love that you guys are so attentive to listeners’ comments and make the podcast more inclusive for everyone. Wishing you guys the best in NY and that you enter your Thriving Era soon!

I started listening to this when Lena and Ian were in mid season three. I just caught up so now I get to listen to them weekly and I can’t be more excited! I think that theyAre very enjoyable, recapping the best and the worst part about glee.I enjoy their stories before and during the podcast and I absolutely love that they are big fans of the movie grease 2 😂😂😂

Really loving the show and Lena and Ian! I agree with other reviews that cleaning up the editing (less tangents) and more consistent plot discussion would be nice. The only thing that makes the show really hard to enjoy for me is the terrible audio mixing. The ads are astronomically louder than Ian and Lena (save for Ian’s laughs). At least put a little warning that there’s a commercial so I can turn my volume down first. I’m only on S1E15 so hopefully this isn’t a long term issue :)

I am a gleek first before anything else. I watched the show when it was on in 2009 and was obsessed - went to the concerts, had merch, everything. Didn’t think there could be a podcast to actually convey every feeling until I found this one. SO much fun to listen to - I look forward to it everyday. Love Ian and Lena!

I am a strong believer that not everybody needs a podcast, and i’m generally not a huge listener of podcasts, but i’m absolutely in love with both of the hosts and how they balance each other out and have such fun moments. they can often get off topic and while normally this would be annoying, i’m never annoyed or bored when the topic shifts off track because of how entertaining they are anyway, even when not talking abt glee. <3 this podcast 10/10 would recommend 100% rotten tomatoes score 5 stars (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) on yelp

I’ve loved this podcast from the start, but the episodes since maybe around Saturday Night Gleever have been a little off for me. It felt like they were just rushing through. The commentary has also felt really negative lately, and with how awful seasons 4-6 are, I was looking forward to soaking up the last bits of positivity from the show, but I guess season 3 isn’t for everyone (and that’s totally valid!) That being said, The Glee Project episode felt fresh and is a smart pivot to make right now.

My brother introduced me to this podcast, and I’m so glad he did! I love listening. It’s always a lot of fun. Not just because making fun on Glee is fun, but because the hosts are very funny and entertaining folks!

If you have a love/hate relationship with Glee and love to laugh listen to this podcast!!!
