Customer Reviews
This show is so friggin’ good.
The hosts are great. The way Jason and Julia work together to set up topics and then dive deep into the nuances is so enjoyable.
Highly informative, always entertaining
I love hearing Julia & Jason discuss the latest in streaming and how the business side of the industry impacts us as viewers. Both hosts are incredibly well-informed, great at communicating, and fun to listen to! One of my favorite pods, and I appreciate the little crossover references from TVYM
An Expert and an Enthusiast
I like some of Jason’s other work, so I was willing to give this show a try. I found that his co host Julia is a professional in the field who is so so good. Strongly recommend giving this a try if you’ve ever wondered “why the heck do these shows keep ending up on weird streaming services at completely random times??”
