aight, lemme nerd out for a minute as to why this show although slow moving is actually dope.

Upfront I think if you listen to podcast first then you will get a lot more out of the show which admittedly moves slow as fuck.

dunno if you know about gimlet media but they are becoming a bit of a thing

rewind to two, three years ago 'This American Life' and 'Planet Money' contributor decides to start up a podcasting network. In doing so he started a podcast called 'Startup' and its all about his struggle and triumph over making his podcasting network become a thing. META.

Then over the past two years more shows are added and they are growing at a tremendous rate.

A year ago they started releasing serialized story form podcasts starting with Homecoming. What made it so dope was the great story AND the cast. Like out of nowhere its all big names behind the voices.

Then in this year that radio drama became a fucking TV show.

They also have two other really fucking dope story form shows, 'Sandra' and 'The Horror of Dolores Roach'

which is crazy when I think about it. Sam Esmail directed Mr Robot. Mr Robot has Bobby Carnnavale (when did he become dope?!) on the cast. Sam Esmail also directed Homecoming which also features...Bobby Carnnavale. Gimlet's other story show, The Horror od Dolors Roach has, you guessed it, Bobby Carnavale as a main character.

Anyway, show link:
