Podcast Love: The Rewatchables

Something you may not know about me, I take my podcasts very seriously.  Since I have discovered this amazing medium, I have devoured hours upon hours of content.  My current playlist hosts a plethora of topics; politics, happiness, parenting, movies, love stories, and more.  Hence, I consider myself a podcast connoisseur - if you will...  Thus, here commences a new series, affectionately and perhaps tentatively entitled, "podcast love."

Something else you may not know about me, I love rewatching old movies.  If I like a movie, I'll likely watch it again.  Whether it's the good old days of rewatching on TNT or AMC, or the current times we live in via Amazon Prime or Netflix, I do enjoy watching familiar favorites from the comfort of my cozy couch.

Which is why the concept of The Rewatchables intrigued me, a multi-hosted debriefing of some of my favorite movies?  Yes, please!  

Each episode is about 45 minutes long, and hosted by 2-3 people (hosts change depending on movie type).  There is a familiar format that I appreciate; debriefing other actors and actresses that were up for the part, favorite scenes, notable lines, what parts of the movie have aged the best/worst since it's inception, what would be different if they made this movie today, etc. etc.  

So far, I've listened to the episodes for You've Got Mail, Clueless, The Departed, and Jerry Maguire.  If you consider yourself a rewatcher - I highly recommend you check out their list and check it out!

3 Podcasts to Try

Hello there.  A while back I asked for podcast recommendations, and I'm pleased to say a few of them have definitely stuck!  Here are some podcasts I am enjoying these days.

the lively show

Hosted by Jess Lively.  This podcast focuses on how to live your values and be intentional in how you approach everything in your life.  New episodes post weekly, and Jess interviews everyone from bloggers to financial advisors to entrepreneurs, who share tips, strategies, failures and successes. I love this show, and Jess herself is very engaging, warm, and has a friendly presence on the airways.  This podcast has helped me think about how I frame the things in my day to day life.

happier

Hosted by Gretchen Rubin (of The Happiness Project) and her sister Elizabeth Craft.  There is a little bit of everything in here; focus on making and keeping good habits, try-this-at-home tips for overcoming daily obstacles, and content driven toward putting forth your best self.  Weekly posts with occasional guests.  While listening, they convey a sense of familiarity, sisters bantering as they usually would without an audience, makes you feel like you could grab coffee with them after. 

the moth

Short stories, told live on stage, about everything!  There's humor, sadness, some make you laugh out loud, others make you feel the urge to grab the kleenex.  You never quite know what you're going to get.  Typically 2 or 4-5 stories per episode.  Check it out if you're a storyteller yourself, you could be next!

Any other good ones you want to share?
