Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens have added another show to their watch list with Ride. The former Hallmark Channel series has found a home at The CW which, hopefully, means the network will order a season 2 if the ratings are good.

The trio dive into the McMurray's story this week along with continuing their ride with Max and Ellis on Wild Cards as the cop and con artist solve a case involving a sports agent.

Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens get back to CW business now that CW is getting into the swing of things with their 2024 midseason roster. Wild Cards has officially launched, the network is in the middle of a "rebrand," James Gunn is acknowledging Superman & Lois, and The CW has struck a deal with Netflix for one of their shows. We're cooking with grease, y'all!

In a break from covering the CW, Sabrina Reed and Reed Gaudens are sitting down to talk about music. From what they listened to in their youth to what they're listening to now, the two trade stories about the communal nature of song sharing, the ways in which certain artists are held to standards that aren't fair, and letting people like what they like even if it's not for you.

TV is back! Well, sort of. The CW’s main tentpoles won’t be airing until April but at least filming is getting underway. Not to mention there’s a new show and two acquisitions to look forward to in January 2024.

The Conners is the latest attempt at establishing a solid comedy on the network, this time by tapping a series that will debut a new season on ABC in February. Ride, formerly of Hallmark channel, is a modern western that should get the Walker and Sullivan’s Crossing fans tuning in. And, lastly but certainly not least, Vanessa Morgan is set to make her return to the CW with Wild Cards. Let Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens tell it, in a spoiler-free way of course, this is a show to be tuning into every week!

For the second to last pod of the year, The CW Spiral has chosen to revisit Nancy Drew thanks to a listener's comment that got them thinking and ready to share their own grievances with how the series ended. Don't get Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens wrong, they'll forever love the journey the show took them on but they're still unpacking season 4 and how it made them feel.
