The Crown: The Official Podcast is the exclusive companion podcast to accompany the Netflix Original Series The Crown. Hosted by Edith Bowman, the podcast follows the show episode by episode, diving deep into the stories and taking listeners behind the scenes with insights from many of the people involved in making the show. The Crown returns for season 6 on November 16th and The Crown: The Official Podcast is back to follow the show episode by episode, diving deep into the stories and speaking with many of the talented people involved, including show creator Peter Morgan and cast members Imelda Staunton, Elizabeth Debicki, Dominic West and Jonathan Pryce. The Crown: The Official Podcast is produced by Netflix and Somethin’ Else, in association with Left Bank Pictures.
This fawning podcast - yes it includes star interviews - does not actually distinguish between Fact or Fiction in the portrayals of people of events enough, whereas the ‘The Crown: Fact or Fiction’ podcast sets out to do just that. A much more satisfying analysis for fans.
so good❗️

I LOVE this podcast! Find it so insightful - learning various bits of history, background and research and how it’s all pulled together. If you love the crown, listen to this!
Just to flag, S4 E02 episode is playing E03 instead :(
Devoid of interesting analysis

Completely devoid of any original or thoughtful observations. Prepare for such nuggets as “hair and make up really adds a lot”, “Thatcher was a dynamic female Prime Minister” and “This episode is rich with material”. A sad indictment of mainstream arts analysis. Don’t bother.
Series 4 episode 2

Has anyone else noticed that the second podcast is actually episode three of the programme and episode three of the podcast is also episode three of the programme. Where is episode two of the podcast?!
10/10 would recommend

This really is the perfect accompaniment to each episode, genuinely awesome interviews with cast & crew, and the chance to peek behind the curtains so good!
Incredibly insightful

One to listen to if you’re a fan of The Crown. This podcast provides behind-the-scenes detail on how the show is made, with interesting interviews and nuggets of information. Definitely watch the episodes first though!
Edith Bowman is such a good host too; no doubt her warmth and humour contributes to how this is an enjoyable listen.

Always a pleasure to listen to Edith Bowman, who speaks with knowledge and enthusiasm on all film and TV matters. I totally adore the Netflix production, and the discussion in this podcast series gives great commentary. If I had a criticism it would be that I’m binge watching the TV series, but have to wait for this podcast series.
I lived during this period, and episode 3 brought overwhelming sadness and the memory of watching the news on my Dad’s black and white TV.
Insightful

I admire how detailed the Casting Directors take to find actors that correlate with the previous actors and present an aged personality. History researchers do a deep dive into each person from multiple sources, to bring a fairly formulated character based on the events occured at the time.
Also Peter Morgan is superb as a showrunner.
Insightful - a must listen for fans
