Show overview
Yes, Mother: A Bates Motel Podcast has been publishing since 2014, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 100 episodes. That works out to roughly 180 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 32m and 2h 16m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 5.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2014, with 30 episodes published. Published by Emily & Sue.
From the publisher
A podcast about the A&E show, Bates Motel, which is a modern day imagining of the story of Norman Bates and his mother in the early days.

Now I can’t stress this enough- THIS IS NOT A COMMENTARY OF THE BRILLIANT A&E SHOW BATES MOTEL! It is a commentary of the lesser known, less….uh….good pilot show called Bates Motel made in 1987. It didn’t get picked up, I know– we were all shocked and you will be too after you watch it. […]

Yes Mother: Bates Motel S5E10 FINALE “The Cord” Recap
The long awaited recap of the finale. You can’t blame us for taking so long, it’s kind of like if we don’t post this, it’s not really over. Or maybe I’ve just been busy and recovering from a bike accident. At any rate– here you go, we recap this beautiful episode of television. (And then […]

Yes Mother: Bates Motel S5E8 “The Body”
Here we are at the end of the series (not quite but close enough!) and things are definitely coming to a head. We are confused by the title though…THE Body doesn’t seem to be descriptive enough. Bodies is more like, but this episode or the lake didn’t seem to have enough bodies in it […]
Yes Mother: Bates Motel S5E7 “Inseparable” Recap
We recap this week and try to come up with scenarios that possibly could be where the show goes from here. We came up with a few good ones, but we know we are wrong, cause this show has made it abundantly clear that it is smarter than us. But Emily is crossing her fingers […]
Yes Mother: Bates Motel S5E7 “Inseparable” Feedback
It’s feedback time! The action at the hotel this week slowed down a little, but don’t get too comfortable, the yellow crime scene tape should be pretty easy to dodge. The B & B heard a lot of commotion in the main room and kitchen, but that didn’t wreck game night in the least. You […]
