They'd have to pay royalties to all the concerned parties (including themselves, oddly enough) if they used an entire episode of the series in their podcast. Intellectual property rights, re-transmission fees and all that. The best they could do in that regard is perhaps some clips....but even those would have to be short and judiciously chosen to avoid people coming after them with their hands out. So translation: no episode reviews likely.
I find it curious that they haven't invited KL writers, directors or producers to visit, nor any of the "fun" people like hair/makeup/wardrobe from behind the scenes. Obviously Filerman and Jacobs are no longer available for comment, but there were/are many others who had impact on the series that should have tons of cool stories.

Numerous TV-themed podcasts are based around episode reviews -- The Sopranos, Melrose, 90210, Dallas, Homicide, Top of the Pops, about a billion Doctor Who podcasts, etc. -- without playing the episodes themselves. Instead, the hosts and guests do the prep beforehand (i.e. they watch the eps and make notes) and then discuss their findings "on air" (or the podcast equivalent thereof). From the little I've heard of the Knotcast (and why didn't they just call it that?), it could stand a little preparation.

This was certainly a step up from some of the other more recent ones - and not just because it was more Knots-related. Teri is just an interesting person. The story of how she got the role was revealing. As I recall, in her first appearance, the character wasn't even named. Hopefully, when she come back she'll talk about how it was developed into a major role.
They've already invited viewers to send in their questions. I think they can be sent via YouTube.

That´s how they do it in the Melrose Place podcast, and it works quite well.

Yeah, I meant like real people. People from Dubuque, Tampa and Austin who watched back in the day and/or currently streaming and have questions especially regarding BTS anecdotes. Sadly, seems like so much has either been forgotten or they all signed non-disclosure contracts. In 14 years, there definitely has to be some doozies of stories...

How did you find the last episode of the podcast with Paul Carafotes?
He had so much to talk about. Not even Michele Lee interrupted. LOL
I found his hints about Peter Reckell interesting...
When Reckell first appeared in KL, I assumed he'd be involved for a longer period, or that his role was intended to be more substantial.
His departure was quite sudden.
Carafotes' comment that the IMDb entries weren't consistent was also intriguing: He was certainly in more than 40 episodes, since he filmed for the series back in 1987, but he's only listed from 1988 onwards. IMDb uses the broadcast dates. First broadcast in 1988. Filming in 1987. So it's true that he was only in 40 episodes. I checked. Sometimes memory plays tricks on you.

What did he hint about Reckell?

Yep....his comments about Reckell were TELLING for sure. Didn't seem like a joy to work with, whereas everyone else seemed to get along famously without ego issues.

When Paul Carafotes said that the characters of the 3 ladies did a lot of sex and drugs, Donna embraced the fact that her character slept with most of the men on the show but Michelle denied that her character did drugs. Did she not remember that other than Olivia, Karen was the only major character to have a drug problem?
I thought it was interesting but a little long. I think the children's books he wrote for his son seems like they are for a worthy cause.
I felt a little bit bad for Tonya though, I mean she was 18 and playing that she was married to a guy who was about 10 years older than her and he kept teasing her on the set, making her feel uncomfortable. I realize that the times have changed since the 1980s. But that is not cool.
