Our Editor's Take

And That's What You REALLY Missed is the podcast about the TV show Glee. It shows what "Gleeks," as the fans of the show call themselves, didn't know about when Glee was running. It interviews the audience's favorite cast members, who divulge secrets and make revelations.

The two podcast hosts are Glee alums. Kevin McHale played Artie Abrams, and Jenna Ushkowitz played Tina Cohen-Chang. They have unmatched energy together and have stayed friends. Together, they interview fellow castmates and offer listeners a glimpse behind the show.

The comedy-drama series Glee was an instant success with audiences worldwide. People resonated with the often ambitious yet outcast high schoolers. They adored the tunes, sang along to the songs, and thrived off the drama.

As sad as it was for fans, the show concluded in 2015. After six seasons, it was time to bid farewell to the characters who'd brought much joy to watchers from all over. Sure, people can rewatch their favorite episodes (or the entire show). But where do they go for new, exciting content? Why, the And That's What You REALLY Missed podcast, of course.

Given that three cast members from the show have died, some consider this show cursed. This podcast brings back the lightness and fun of the original program. And That's What You REALLY Missed is a way for listeners to relive all their favorite moments and discover more about the show. The episodes contain everything from blunders to backstage stories and in-between. It also shares what viewers might have missed out on.

Previous guests have included Ryan Murphy, Amber Riley, and Darren Criss. They share things not available anywhere else. Topics include fallouts from famous scenes or content that never aired (and why).

And That's What You REALLY Missed is a show dedicated to Glee fans who can't get enough of the show. It's a little unexpected and a lot astonishing. But above all, an excellent way for fans to still get a dose of Glee even after the series has ended.
