Kim's insights into the actual workings of Hollywood set this show apart from the superficial and tabloid coverage this industry normally receives. Her guests and interviews are fantastic as well. I wish 52 Bonus Banters came out every year

Hi guys. This last upload for 11/15/24 show cuts off in the middle of the banter. You’ve listed the episode as 30 mins. You have only uploaded the first 5 mins. Please adjust. I think this was an upload error on your end. Not mad, just eager to hear the rest :)

Since it's an LA based show, I expected a left-leaning podcast but sometimes I'm still surprised about how confident the host is that absolutely no on in her audience is more centrist in their thinking. I like the "banter" part of the podcast, and most of the back-end interviews (if I see it's going to be a politically-themed echo-chamber exchange, I skip). Overall though, I commend the host's competence and interview skills.

Kim‘s interview with John Batiste is one of the best she’s ever done. I’m a fan for life of both of them.

Kim Master’s is truly a rockstar of journalism. She’s so bright and brings up fascinating topics and guests. I truly enjoy this show!! My only qualm is- she and her guests sometimes bring up so many industry names that they assume the audience knows, and it gets quite confusing if you’re not completely infused in all the details of the tv/film industry. Please explain the names you mention in detail, prior to bantering!

Love the banter portion! I listen to the podcast just to hear the banter part. Then, I turn it off.

You should talk about your views on this and see if you can find your humanity. Your indifference and callous hate for any challenge to your view of the world WILL bring about a return of Trump.

Banterverse is spicy, concise and entertaining! I really enjoy the insight and the updates but the bantering is fun and not bloated content. I also enjoy the diverse films and filmmakers that come on the show. Thanks!

I follow her on twitter, so might bias me a bit but Kim has become borderline unhinged by current social and political environment. Hard to believe any sort of ‘take’ she posits is at all fair/not somehow tinged by her seething social/political resentment. Also, getting bored of her, every 5 mins, angling for some way to mention work she’s done in the past (1990s??) and people she’s rubbed elbows with (and she loves pretending powerful industry folk think about her at all)

Love the podcast, especially the opening news wrap and banter about the industry
