Getting to the end of Mission Log, that Star Trek podcast that does the episode-by-episode thing. Well, not the end, but nearing the end of the backlog. I have a few others I listen to, but this is the main one at the moment. I was planning on listening to a History podcast again, but for whatever reason, remembered the sitcom Boy Meets World.
There is, of course, a podcast about it - Pod Meets World. It's hosted by Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel and Will Friedle, who played Topanga, Eric and Shawn. It's really funny, they have great chemistry, and you are basically listening to friends rewatching a show they did as kids. I love how they go into details about the process of creating the sitcom, it's very interesting I think.
Only problem I have is, that they do an absurd amount of commercials (probably not the right word) for other podcasts. I listened to the first hour of a 1,5 hour long episode, and I think 15 minutes of that are made up by four different breaks, with other people promoting their podcasts. It's the first time that I skip these promotions - they are really long, they are not interesting to me at all (some people do seemingly random podcasts, no idea how they are related to this one), and they even repeat themselves. I don't get it, do they get money for this?
It's a shame, because I really enjoy listening to the podcast and learning about how things work behind the camera. But having to take my phone out every 15 minutes or so, and skip a bit ahead, probably missing a few seconds, is really obnoxious. I don't understand why they are overdoing it so much.
Sorry, I wanted to promote the podcast, but I guess that bit is really annoying to me.
