Gilmore Guys HeadGum

Just found this podcast a few months ago. I grew up with Gilmore Girls, being about the same age as Rory when it started. I listen while I’m at work, and get funny looks when I bust out laughing with my headphones in. Love this podcast!

I finished binging Gilmore Girls on Netflix a few weeks ago. In the search for more podcasts to listen to, I stumbled on this one. These first few episodes can be difficult to listen to because they go off on so many tangents and the lack of editing to resolve it, but it’s part of their growth to becoming such a well loved podcast. The banter between Demi and Kevin is entertaining regardless. Also, you got to appreciate that this is the only podcast that I know of to go through ALL seven seasons of GG. It caters to all intellects from video editor critiques to fashion/pop culture. It’s very trivial and I’m one for trivia.

The podcast also made me realize that I enjoy productions by Amy Sherman-Palladino?! I remember watching the underrated Bunheads in high school, and became a Maisel fan after their Emmy domination. I’m looking forward to listening to these podcasts despite the negative reviews.

Love the concept, really wanted to love this. But where is the editing? Where do you get off thinking people want to listen to 3-5 hours of you talking about anything, much less the unbearable Year in the Life season? Are you kidding me?? Even the 1-3 hour episodes are in desperate need of editing. Listening to the episode with Lauren Graham, do you realize how ridiculous it is that you assumed “the invitation was implicit” for her to come on your show? People (much less a public persona like Lauren) have better things to do than go out of their way to reach out to YOU to be on your podcast. Jesus H. HIRE AN EDITOR.
