“I only found out about this podcast because the host was a guest on another podcast I follow (It’s How Old).
Thought I’d give this one a try and I’ve got to say it is SO good.
Quiet in depth without loosing its sense of fun. This is going to be an essential podcast for me.”

“Verbal Diorama is always a good listen as the film choices are always varied and eclectic, so there’s something for everybody. Em is very knowledgeable and has a light touch and still has the best theme tune in all of film podcasting.”

“I can’t recommend Verbal Diorama more, Em is an excellent host that clearly puts a lot of time and effort into each episode. So many films have been delved into, there really is something for everyone.
