Long ago, the podcasters and actors lived in harmony… But everything changed when the actors attacked!

In episode 4 of “The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television” we delve, for the first time, into a podcast that one of us actually listens to on a semi-regular basis. After last week’s Made Women/Gangster Goddess debacle we need something to help lower our blood pressure, and what could be better for that than a nice, relaxing cartoon? We can hear that this probably sounds like sarcasm but Avatar: The Last Airbender is a fabulous show and the slickly produced and compiled Avatar: Braving the Elements podcast scores high on all the metrics we’ve invented to review these podcasts. But a question lurks in the back of one’s mind… Why are there no advertisements on this show? Could it be because the whole production is part of a multi-year multi-media strategy? And if so, does that dilute it’s potential to touch upon something that is real and honest within the hosts and the listeners? Well, as usual, you’ll need to listen to Jim and Jakob’s expert analysis to find out.

Avatar: Braving the Elements

Enter the amazing world of Avatar through the official companion podcast, Avatar: Braving the Elements from Nickelodeon. Join hosts Janet Varney (the voice of “Korra”) and Dante Basco (the voice of “Prince Zuko”) each week as they re-watch every episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender then break down key themes, notable battles, and behind-the-scenes trivia you can’t get anywhere else. Special guests from cast members to producers join them to explore elements of the Avatarverse, including the origins of the story and how Avatar was brought to life.

Welcome to episode 3 of “The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television” where we delve into the torride tale of Drea De Matteo trying to launch some sort of Sopranos podcast! Jim and Jakob learn that it isn’t just as easy as coasting on your celebrity and star status and simply launching a rewatch podcast of the show you are starred on. It takes commitment and timing, two things that seemed to crash and burn around the Adriana actress as she first launched her show in the shadow of Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa’s “Talking Sopranos”.

It seems between being edged out of the initial Sopranos rewatch market there were also some issues with the podcast network they initially launched with, as a short time later, Drea and her close friend and entrepeneur Chris Kushner attempted to launch another Sopranos podcast on their own entitled Gangster Goddess. Jim and Jakob have done the leg work and bring your the crash and burn of both endeavors on the latest TPATPAT!

Jim and Jakob are striking back against the influx of television actors that are invading the podcast space with their mindless rewatch discussions of the tv shows they were on! Being the podcast experts they are they have decided to use their powers for good and school these “actors” on what it takes to put together an amazing podcast. This week:

OFFICE LADIES

The Office co-stars and best friends, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, are doing the ultimate The Office re-watch podcast for you. Each week Jenna and Angela will break down an episode of The Office and give exclusive behind the scene stories that only two people who were there, can tell you.

Welcome to the podcast realm, ladies.

Long ago, the television actor was on your TV show and the podcaster was discussing the TV show on their podcast, but those days are long dead. In the age of the TV rewatch podcast, actors have invaded the podcast scene and stolen the hard-earned downloads from regular working Joes and Jims and Jakobs. With nowhere else to turn, no other respite or avenue, there was only one direction for two TV podcast veterans to go.

Shows What You Know, the podcast about television is dead, and from its ashes rises…
