Netflix for your ears

This podcast is unbelievably good. Some pilots are better than others and sometimes they have less rehearsal and sound quality issues but even those podcasts are better than your average night spent in front of the box. This podcast is like listening to completely fresh new radio plays with fantastic actors. I particularly recommend ‘My Cousin Thor’ and ‘Tuned’.

All of these pilots need to be made

I mean, sometimes the quality isn’t great, but this is a well made, hilarious, and interesting podcast that lets you look into the world of pilots. Plus it’ll make you consider petitioning for the creation of a number of these pilots to actually get made.
