“Is it for the audience or is it for the crew of the show? This isn't a podcast, it's an industry circle jerk. You sit around congratulating each other and complimenting each other and giving endless "shout-outs" to countless studio executives, PR people, casting execs and other "suits" (by NAME, no less) that the audience could not possibly care less about. I'm sure the people you constantly refer to are thrilled to hear their names spoken aloud on a podcast, but speaking as a fan of the show I would much rather hear ACTUAL insider information and background information that would add to my understanding and enjoyment of the SHOW instead of a weekly reading of the "employee of the month" list!
I will never meet any of the crew members who are slobbered over every week on this podcast, nor will I remember any of their names by the end of the podcast. I don't care or need to know the name of the crane you used to get a particular shot. I don't care how much time you had to edit or who had to get coffee for everyone or how fabulously they did their job. How does any of that relate to your audience? IT DOESN'T!
Also, for the love of god, please invest in individual microphones for each person so that I don't have to strain to hear some comments and then get my ears blasted by the next!
It's such a huge waste, too, considering the guests who have appeared in some of these podcasts. Such great opportunities to really delve deeper into the character development, background, motivations, the story arcs, symbolism...you know, discussions that would illuminate the STORY instead of stroking the egos of the people hired to work for the show.
This podcast is a big disappointment and a colossal waste of time. Unless you happen to work for the show. In which case, it surely must be awesome.”
