What If We Get It Right Podcast
Essentially, there are two kinds of podcasts. There is a podcast that covers a topic that’s been covered thousands of times, but the show’s goal is to do it better than anyone else. A prime example includes movie review podcasts Verbal Diorama and What Went Wrong. Both shows are essentially “how this movie was made” podcasts. What separates them from the thousands of other podcasts with the exact same premise is that they do so much better than anyone else.

How Do We Complete A Podcast Review
There are no strict guidelines for writing and publishing reviews, whether they are of a movie, book, music, or podcast. In the heyday of print journalism, which lasted for several hundred years, high-profile newspapers and magazines such as The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, Life, and even Playboy had well-known reviewers on staff, such as Vincent Canby of The New York Times, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times, Pauline Kael of The New Yorker, and Richard Schickel of Time.

Every Single Sci-Fi Film Ever Podcast
This is THE person listeners want to produce the best sci-fi podcast out there. Here’s her quote: “When I watched Terminator 2 at the age of 13, I really wanted to be like Sarah Conner: Strong, resilient and defiant. I despise the gym but have gone regularly to the gym most of my life because Sarah Conner would not want to see me getting weak for the impending apocalypse! I must not let her down. But realistically, it seems like a lot of hard work. I would much rather be a captain or crew member on a Federation starship or perhaps Doc Emmett Brown from Back to the Future. Something where the adventures involve fewer death machines chasing me incessantly.”

Queer Grove Podcast
Groups that have been discriminated against, ostracized, and persecuted need a safe haven. For example, the Green Book was a guidebook for African American roadtrippers. It was founded by Victor Hugo Green, an African American postal worker from New York City, and was published annually from 1936 to 1966. This was during the era of Jim Crow laws, when open and often legally prescribed discrimination against African Americans, mainly, and other non-whites was widespread.

We Interrupt This Program Podcast
Thousands of podcasts cover TV shows. Many of those shows focus on one show — a rewatch podcast — counting on a built-in audience from the show’s fans.

In contrast, others delve into the history of movies or a specific film, such as Verbal Diorama, one of the best at this treatment.
