You can’t manufacture passion
The two narrators are a bit young to have passion for this story — and they don’t give much reason otherwise — so they’re reporting the story because they thought it made a good story — which it is, it just doesn’t appear the narrators really “get it” (not growing up with the film). And their charisma-less delivery doesn’t help. You can’t manufacture passion just by saying the slippers are “magical” or by quoting others who say so. That’s why the last episode especially falls flat. One of the narrators even gives the impression they had to watch the movie again — for the podcast — but not for any inherent true desire or interest in the movie per se.

I wish there was video to go with the podcast. I love it. Characters are so, so, so,. Just like sitting at the bar at the VC on a Tuesday morning.

The two young female podcasters are acting like this is some “new” story and that THEY’VE discovered some huge secret: the allure of Judy Garland and the long, involved, complicated history of her ruby slippers. It’s an OLD STORY, young ‘uns. Millennials are so cute.
