Comfort Blanket

A host that connects meaning and history and nuance without ever sounding twee, conversations that are so much more meaningful than “what’s your favorite…”, and edits and audio references that are perfection, so even if you’re not familiar with the guest’s topic you can still be fully engaged.

Hello! I found this podcast when I was super anxious and trying to find something to calm down and listen to, well this worked perfectly and I’ll continue to listen as episodes come out! It you’re wanting something slow to listen and relax to or to help distract yourself this is the perfect podcast for you, even If you don’t know much about films ❤️

This is not an interview show. The host does not let the guest say much. His guests are too polite to push in. I was surprised at the unusually long length of the podcast, over an hour. You soon learn that it is because the host cannot even edit himself post-production. Such a wonderful premised, but it does not delivered as the guest’s “comfort blanket” is confiscated from them so the host can wrap it around himself. Please learn some disciple.

I want to love this show, but after 20 minutes of listening to the host verbally steamroll the brilliant and hilarious Sarah Kendall with his run on ramblings, I had to give up. If you want to listen to amazing guests ONLY say “mhmm, yes, right” because they can’t get a word in, this show is for you. I would have really loved to hear what Sarah Kendall had to say about Muriel’s Wedding. The 2 insights she was allowed to squeeze in between the dude’s bouts of verbal incontinence were wonderful.
