Perhaps @justinjackson.ca can shed some light on the following: why doesn’t Apple Podcasts show S & E numbers in the main feed, and OverCast does? Aren’t those tags Apple’s own tags? How are people with screen-readers supposed to get S&E’s quickly and easily? I’m so confused 😕

I just finished a really solid Canadian TV show called “The Transplant” and I wanted to share some quick thoughts. The good: Hamza Haq is a generational talent. The cast overall is great. The script is strong. The not so good: the ending lent subversion, when it should’ve lent Republic of Doyle.

@justinjackson.ca Jeremy is definitely known for saying "They come for the topic, but they stay for the Host", but I think we need to give the late-great Todd Cochrane his due for that expression. He was saying that way back in 2013/14 on The New Media Show 👍

I really wish more people on Podcasts About Podcasting would STOP saying "it depends" to every single questions they're asked. We asked you, for your opinion, so just tell us what you believe. We can tease out the nuance later.

You could’ve cast almost anyone as Supergirl and they wouldn’t have been more beautiful than Melissa Benoist or more striking than Laura Vandervoort ..so perhaps let’s give Milly a break, she’s clearly an uber talented and attractive human being. The moronic-grift level on YouTube atm is wild 🙃

#Fringe is a show I enjoyed more on my 2nd and 3rd watch than I did on my 1st. There’s some performance and narrative choices that I didn’t like one bit on my first watch, but I’d gotten over by my second.

FRINGE was a good show, but I feel like it could’ve been great. A show too focussed on the overarching narrative, at the expense of truly expansive performances (outside of Walter obv. he was incredible). So many (character-level) loops opened that were never closed. 7/10 could’ve been a 9/10

I worry that #Podcasting is becoming an elitist medium - which is diametrically opposed to what appealed about Podcasting to me in the first place. Fancy studios, set designers, paid guests, teams clipping & shorting, paid promotion, celebrity circle-jerking, and platforms pushing the famous.. 🫤
