Zanna and Billiam

By: Susannah Abel-Zucker
  • Summary

  • Briefly put, Zanna & Billiam is a podcast about television. It consists of the dynamic duo Susannah and Will: teenage, TV-obsessed, best friends. Together, they’ll cover a number of shows they find crucial to their friendship, shows like Portlandia, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and 30 Rock. Recapping, reviewing, and relishing a different episode each week, you can expect plenty of strong opinions, deep dives, inside jokes, and above all, friendship, comedy, writing, dreams(both nighttime and aspirational), quotes, and above all, television.

  • The Good Place: Most Improved Player (1.8)
    Sep 12 2021

    This week, we're covering Most Improved Player from The Good Place's first season. And in addition to cubes of all purposes and striking differences from later seasons, this episode also contains Waterloo Seltzers, whose name Les Miserables superfan Susannah is only kind of obsessed with, preachy barefooters on Quora, Holocaust allegories, brand new ship names (#shellagonye), and loads and loads of whatever the audio equivalent of cacti are.

    Next week, we're covering Parks and Rec's Harvest Festival with Audrey!

  • 30 Rock: What Will Happen to the Gang Next Year? (6.22)
    Sep 5 2021

    We're back this week with What Will Happen to the Gang Next Year! And no, we haven't made a full-length episode out of our outro section. That would be kind of boring. Rather, we're covering it's namesake, 30 Rock's wonderfully chaotic season six closer! We discuss Kristen Wiig sightings, praise Mary Steenburgen at length, Susannah talks about YA and Will talks about Virginia Woolf, and we mention a PBS miniseries and a Courtney Love movie.

    Oh and hey, there's a weird thing going on with the audio for this episode where if you're listening to it on headphones, we're each coming from different ears. So, yeah, apologies.

    Next week, we'll visit The Good Place for the Season One episode Most Improved Player.

  • B99: The Jimmy Jab Games (2.3)
    Aug 22 2021

    For our coverage of Brooklyn Nine-Nine's classic Jimmy Jab Games, we're remote again due to Susannah's being in Martha's Vineyard. But what we lack in being in person, we make up for in Audrey! Also: carnival prizes, Larry David and Alan Dershowitz, sound effects, the dating lives and jail times of mobsters who dip children in acid, "moshing like there's no tomorrow", books, Will not leaving clothing in Carrie Brownstein's dressing room, paper plates, Susannah’s ability to make pompoms (with a machine), SNL references, and our recent travels to some of the least exotic places in the US.

    Next week, we're fulfilling the prophecy we unknowingly gave when we named our outro segment "What Will Happen to the Gang Next Year" and covering its 30 Rock episode namesake.
