Snark Squad Pod

I’ve loved catching up on the 3 years worth of podcasts and want to take this opportunity to express my utter delight with the frequent squawking, screeching, cackling, and giggling that fill my ear holes each episode. I tend to listen to the podcasts talking about media I’m already familiar with, whether I loved it or hated it, and appreciate the amount of thought and effort that the hosts and their guests put into their conversations.

I came to this podcast from Marines’s YouTube channel. Her and Nicole are friendship goals haha.

I’ll start off by saying that if this podcast puts out an episode on a show/movie I’m interested in, I almost always listen to it and I usually enjoy it. The hosts are engaging and pleasant and the guests they have are usually so as well. But that’s kind of related to why I’d say the show is OK, but not great. It’s usually a pleasant discussion of a work of media, and by pleasant I don’t mean that they never say anything critical of that media, because they do. But I feel like in many episodes the criticisms are rote and obligatory, and they don’t really go very in-depth with them. That’s probably difficult when you’re talking about something new every week, but it just seems like there’s something lacking. And also, it’s called Snark Squad, but I would expect more snark than there usually is if it’s part of the title. All in all, this is a pretty good show that I will listen to in a pinch if I don’t have anything else. Not the best, but very far from the worst. I’ll listen to this over a low-effort celebrity podcast any day.

I enjoy so much sitting down every week to listen. They're funny and delighful and it feels so friendly, like I'm talking with friends. I really laugh aloud and the podcast always leaves me smiling. These are great discusions about pop culture, very smart. You go Snark Squad!
