Back to the Bones Podcast
Welcome to Back to the Bones! Join father-daughter duo Madeleine and Andrew Hayes as they rewatch and recap each episode of the Fox hit TV show Bones. If you’ve never seen the show, can’t remember who the Gravedigger is, or are sharing the show with a loved one for the first time, this podcast is spoiler-free! Madeleine and Andrew have watched and loved Bones for over a decade, sometimes together, sometimes apart. Madeleine’s degree in psychology and passion for true crime paired with Andrew’s background in both acting and law combine to create two squints who love digging into the minutiae of jurisdiction, autism-coding, and really bad green screens. So head to the lab, it’s time to get back to the bones.
