Big fan of their professional insights

So I’ve subscribed to a whole bunch of film and TV related podcasts, most of which are quite entertaining and fun to listen to. Not one, however, can match the insights into the Hollywood TV industry quite like “Top 5”. The hosts truly know all the ins and outs of the business and strike a perfect balance between in-depth analysis and accessibility for ‘outsiders’. Add Daniel Fienberg’s singing and pronunciation of Quibi to the mix and you got yourselves a fantastic podcasts that informs while being a joy to listen to as well. I’m not a huge fan of interviews in general so I skip or listen based on the specific showrunners but the segment is always very charming and informative. Can’t recommend this one enough!
