The Ankler Podcast

The Ankler is my favorite podcast about the film/TV industry. I love the 360-degree view from all the hosts, and the humor. Every week I laugh out loud. I especially enjoyed Richard's episodes about the 90s. I only wish The Ankler came out twice a week (or more)!

I look forward to this show every Friday morning! Our Ankler friends bring a human perspective to this crazy business we’ve all gotten ourselves in, and are all genuinely charming!

Gives me the entertainment news I need to know from charismatic and informed hosts

I started listening to this podcast because I love “inside Hollywood” podcasts and I was hoping to hear Katey Rich (I miss her so much on Little Gold Men). But I just can’t keep going. I was listening to the episode discussing the dueling Lively-Baldoni lawsuits and Richard admitted he doesn’t know the details of the dispute. Then he tried to claim that the rumor mill can’t destroy people’s careers (ignoring everything we’ve learned thanks to the MeToo movement). And when Elaine tried to gently educate him, he came back with the classic male response - based solely on his personal experience, with a complete refusal to learn from his co-host or the past eight years, and dismissing women’s experiences and problems - and proceeded to give his opinion as if it was objective truth instead of an ignorant opinion. I can’t waste any more time listening to people like him. I just wanted others to know first what to expect before I said goodbye to this show.
