"Peter Fox as Columbo" badge
Due to its long-lasting popularity, Columbo has spawned a lot of fan-generated content over the past few years. Below are some of the most well-known examples, all of which are worth looking into if you're a Columbo fan eager for more content.
The Columbophile[]
An online blog run by "Frank Columbo", an Australian Columbo superfan and probably one of the world's foremost knowledges on the subject. He is currently making his way through every episode and reviewing them in chronological order. But that's not all; he conducts fan-polls, writes top ten lists, and has even been interviewed on the radio. He first joined Twitter in 2011 and since then has also popped up on Facebook, Instagram and of course the Columbophile blog site itself. If ever want to know anything about Columbo, he's your man.
He even has a dog and, yes, it's a bassett hound.

The Columbo Podcast[]
Exactly what is says on the tin; The Columbo Podcast is hosted two Scottish friends as they make their way though every episode of Columbo's run. One is a hardcore fan while the other is a novice, providing two differing viewpoints. Gerry and Iain started their show in late 2014 and concluded in 2016, although occasional bonus episodes have popped up since then. In 2020 the duo launched a new series called Fascinating? A Star Trek Podcast. You guess what it's about.
Listen to The Columbo Podcast on their site or on their Youtube channel.
Just One More Thing[]
Every week hosts RJ White and Jon Morris are joined by a special guest to discuss a Columbo episode of the guest's choosing. The first Columbo podcast, they started in mid-2014 with a review of Swan Song (beating Gerry and Iain to the punch by mere months) and wrapped up in early 2019 with their take on Strange Bedfellows (spoiler alert: they don't like it).
You can listen to Just One More Thing here and also check out Jon and RJ on Twitter.
The Columbo Confab Podcast[]
Since 2017, former Doctor Who podcasters Steve and Sean from The Columbo Confab Podcast have been making fun of each other as they wade their way through every one of the show's 69 episodes. Their journey began with Lovely But Lethal and came to end with The Bye-Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case in 2020. Since then they'ved moved onto making fun of each other as they wade their way through random horror and sci-fi films on Sh*t We Watch on Netflix.
The Columbo Confab Podcast is available on both their website and on Youtube. You can also catch them on the Sh*t We Watch on Netflix Twitter handle.
The Columboys[]
The youngest of all the podcasts so far, The Columboys see Mack, who has seen every Columbo episode before, showing them to his friend Ben for the very first time. The boys first came on the Internet's airwaves in early 2018 with a review of Prescription: Murder and are still in the course of watching and reviewing every installment in chonological order.

The Ultimate Lieutenant Columbo Site[]
