I’m so so thankful for all this knowledge you’re sharing.

I have had this idea rumbling around in my head - and you will hear it - but I just didn’t know what to do with it. I’m not in the biz but your podcasts have put me on the right path. I’m about 10 episodes in and you’ll be seeing my submission before the end of the year!

I have been listening faithfully. I love your format and your easy, practical, and honest advice. Great podcast. Love you guys.

First of all, we writers do love words. Words package the product, and without the right words it won’t get sent, much less delivered. It takes a team and these guys become team members - without a contract. Listen up, connect with their membership structure - and package your stuff up for your...Read full review »

I like this podcast. Lighthearted, easy to follow and great info. If there is a down side, the banter is a bit time consuming and unnecessary but I'm willing to sit through it. I want to binge listen, starting with Episode one but am now motivated to start working after just first four...Read full review »

So, I've listened to about five or six podcast within a couple of hours. Each podcast is really informative and I actually started making some notes in my computer.

I've listened to about half of the episodes so far... Loving it! I'll finish the other 20 hours or so on a roadtrip up to Oregon - at which point I'll have to start waiting two weeks for new episodes (not looking forward to that). I'm amazed at how they continue to find topics...Read full review »

Love listening to all of your podcasts... And I mean ALL of them! (Laugh) Anyone looking to pitch a reality TV show needs to make this duo of pitch-dom required listening. Or, you can pitch a new show that revolves around 3 or 4 nine-year-old kids traveling the globe, looking for the perfect...Read full review »

A year ago I discovered Joke and Biagio. Since then I've been inspired and motivated to create a show I hope they will consider because they're the only producers I'd want to work with after getting to know them through this process. Even if we don't work together, I've had a...Read full review »
Angela THorne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/17
This one my favourite podcast about tv/doc production. I love how Joke and Biagio are willing to share almost all of their secrets of the business. I binged about 30 episodes in a couple of days and I feel like my knowledge of the business went up ten-fold. Please keep making more episodes!

When it comes to Hollywood insiders, Joke & Biagi are the very best kind: smart, insightful and most importantly, generous to their listeners.

Before discovering Joke and Biagio, I knew very little about pitching reality television shows. Now, I feel like they've given me a few extra tools in my kit to make things happen! I'm a podcast junkie, and love to hear the different ways that great podcasts come together. This is one of...Read full review »

Very good overview of the business, and not a lot of unrelated banter than plagues so many podcasts. I recommend this to anyone interested in exploring the business of unscripted TV. (FWIW, I have produced 8 feature films and a dozen documentaries)
waterdogh2o via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/08/15
I am so glad there is a podcast out there with all this great info — and it’s free. Typically, some people in the “Industry” prey on the "up-and-coming” by offering paid courses, books etc. Not so with Producing Unscripted, because they offer actionable content and ways to work with them,...Read full review »
