The Frasier Department

Niles falls for that lady from Hacks (no, not that one, that one, or that other one). Frasier grapples with his legacy, a cane, and the world's ugliest laptop. Your hosts Leila and Lucas discuss pacing issues, car crashes, and whether it's appropriate to put champagne in a condolence basket.

Frasier once again makes his tempestuous relationship with his father everyone else's problem. Both of the women on this show are largely ignored. Niles goes shopping. Wait, Niles?! What TV show are we watching?

After an unannounced 5-month podcasting hiatus, The Frasier Department returns, with a few twists. Hear about them in this mini-episode! Stick around til the end to find out which Frasier (1993) episode we'll cover first (it's not the pilot).

Alan’s daughter comes to town after 9 episodes of foreshadowing. David becomes a big fish in a small gingerbread pond. Your hosts Leila and Lucas say goodbye to the cast, characters, and creators of Frasier (2023-2024) and give enigmatic clues about the future of this podcast.

Watch along with us as we go back in time exactly 21 years to the penultimate Frasier (1993) episode. What a crock! What's a crock?

Holly catches up on the events of the season. Disaster strikes when a perfectly good olive oil tasting party turns out to be a murder mystery game night. Frasier is visited by ten plagues. Hosts Leila and Lucas get an Everybody Loves Raymond lesson.

(Some of) the old supporting cast returns to justify one of them staying on this show. Is 23 too young to be a married magician with multiple children? Is this episode a moving reflection of the twisted paths of our own lives? Is it a cynical story contrivance that loses momentum just when FRASIER (2023) needs it most? Is it both? Leila and Lucas investigate.

Ben Murray from the Frasier On Film podcast joins Leila and Lucas for a discussion of all things Frasier. Listen to Frasier On Film wherever you listen to us, starting right here.

Time-travel with us to St. Patrick's Day 1993 for the final installment of Bar Wars (we haven't seen any of the earlier ones).

Frasier and guest star Yvette Nicole Brown see eye to eye on pizza bagels. An improv teams forms spontaneously. Your hosts talk I Love Lucy, Gilmore Girls, and occasionally Frasier (2023). The Star Trek Hour returns.

You'll never guess where this one takes place. Everyone tries to pair off for that famous romantic holiday, July 4th. Your hosts Leila and Lucas talk Felix Mendelssohn and fridge pants.

We talk to Anders Keith (David (no relation to Keith David)) about his influences, his colleagues, himself, and video games both real and fictitious. Recorded prior to Paramount+’s latest rash and bloody deed.

Your hosts go to an experimental New York theater piece, acknowledge the apparent but not definite end of Frasier (2023-), and update you on the schedule for the near future of this podcast. Is this the shape of things to come? Yeah, it is.

Frasier revisits a torrid affair and his horrid short shorts. Harriet Sansom Harris (returning from the original) and Rachel Bloom (promoted from super-fan) have a talking-like-this contest. Your hosts Lucas and Leila demand that someone pay attention to David.

Frasier commits some crimes, forcing Alan to be the adult in the room. Freddy and Eve drink to remember… and to forget. Everyone forgets about David. Your hosts debate the true meaning of The Dedication.

Months after the promotional period for Frasier S2, the incomparable Jess Salgueiro (Eve!) is kind enough to talk to us about the show.

What's Eve's karaoke go-to? What's it like to be directed by your six-time-Emmy-winning co-star? How do you spin a ham? Hear the answers to these questions, and more.

Co-host Lucas pays for all his Star Trek talk when co-host Leila finds multiple opportunities to talk about The Big Bang Theory. On the actual show, Roz returns to stand up for the next generation of single moms against the chauvinism of every generation of men.

Eve and Freddy's cynicism drives Frasier to excessive sincerity. Alan gets his groove back. Bender Bending Rodriguez gets high, maybe. The show's least subtle joke flies right over the inflated heads of hosts Lucas and Leila.
