I had kind of rekindled my love for Disney a few years before that, both the theme parks and the films.

It needed to have some kind of hook, whether it’s “oh, it’s that person doing this person,” or “it’s on this specific topic.” I didn’t have the name recognition, so I thought “I love movies, but there already are a lot of movie podcasts. I did not have a name recognition, which is fine, but I wanted to do the podcast and not just for myself. I don’t think that anyone had heard of me before. I realized that if I was going to do a podcast that I’m just one random guy who wrote for a website. Even in 2011, there was a million, really a ton of podcasts, about general pop culture. I mentioned that podcast that I had done initially and failed, and one of the reasons it failed, well, first, it was about commitment. Failing that, I would like to win the first one. I mean, a Pulitzer Prize for podcasting, that might be a little too lofty for us to ever achieve. It’s becoming a lot more popular, I’m not sure that’s what you’re talking about. There is that Panoply Podcast Network, with shows like where “ You Must Remember This” and “ The Next Picture Show” (and all sorts of other non-film podcasts). There’s a level of prestige that certainly has happened. For good or ill, “Serial” introduced a lot of people to podcasting who previously would have been like, “What is podcasting, I don’t know what that is.” Certainly, explaining to people what a podcast is, before you even explain what your podcast is, can be a little annoying. That was a very popular show, at least the first season, that was a phenomenon. We all finally learned what podcasting was when we figured out whether or not Adnan was guilty or not. It came first - there were no podcasts before Serial. I don’t know if this is automatically a good thing, but I’m thinking of “ Serial“, which we all know is the first podcast.

In general, I think podcasting has gotten there, some podcasts. I don’t know if there is ever going to be a Pulitzer Prize for podcasting, and I don’t know if there should be (laughs). Whenever you step into a podcast situation, as soon as there is that other person - even someone you know very well - they can take it in a completely different direction than you ever would by yourself. You’re working with other people’s voices, and when you’re writing by yourself, you’re only dealing with your own problems, biases and experiences. I think that looseness is what is different, and what can be a benefit or a demerit. With podcasting, there is a downside to that looseness, that sometimes requires a more judicious editor of audio. There is always this sense of wanting to say more or wanting to say what you said in a different way. I mean, I don’t know about you, and I don’t know about other critics, but I know when I write a review, 10 minutes later I think “I wanted to say something else, I wanted to add more.” Obviously, you can write follow-up posts of some kind, but it’s not the same as that initial review. For me, that looseness is what is different from written criticism.

I think in “Filmspotting”, a lot of the discussion that Adam Kempenaar and Josh Larsen doesn’t have the sort of free form style of other podcasts. I’m thinking of Peter Labuza’s “ The Cinephiliacs” and “ Filmspotting“, both of which are very good shows, and I think you can tell for Peter’s podcast, in the non-interview portion, that he has written down what he is going to say first. I know there are some very good podcasts out there that maybe not entirely, but partially rely on writing down everything you’re going to say before. They smell pink to me, and of this I am certain.Well, I’m sure some podcasters will tell you it doesn’t have to.



I need you to find them and describe them to me!
