Episode 538 - Podcasts We Listen To

This week’s episode was sparked by longtime patron ConstancioD, who asked a fun, behind-the-scenes question: What podcasts do we actually listen to—and why? You’ll learn about our tastes beyond the big screen—like wrestling, scams, geek culture, comedy, and more—and what makes a podcast worth sticking with. Non-Movie Podcasts We Love Brent’s Picks Kentucky Sports Radio (KSR) – Sports adjacent...they talk about a lot of non-sports stuff too.  Maybe 40% sports. Going In Raw – Pro wrestling talk.
