Philly Podfest, in partnership with New Media Touring, are really excited to announce four great podcasts joining the 6th annual Philadelphia Podcast Festival at the Trocadero Theater!
Last Podcast on the Left, a comedy podcast that “covers all the horrors our world has to offer,” by Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks, and Henry Zebrowski (presale starts at noon, 6/5/18)
A double-bill with Part-Time Genius, a podcast of “incredible research, fun-filled quizzes, nerdy interviews and giant, head-scratching questions,” by Will Pearson and Mangesh Hattikudur, and Ridiculous History, retellings of “weirdest stories from across the span of human civilization,” by Ben Bowlin and Noel Brown (presale starts at noon, 6/5/18)
Unhappy Hour Live with Matt Bellassai, “a comedy show full of anger, judgement, and fully-clothed full-frontal nudity,” featuring Matt Bellasai (presale starts at noon, 6/5/18)
We are so pleased to welcome back We Got This as part of the 2018 Philly Pod Fest. Hal Lublin and Mark Gagliardi (also of Thrilling Adventure Hour, Welcome to Night Vale) take the dumb issues in life that people care strongly about and settle the argument once and for all. No topic is too small or insignificant for them to dissect and decide!
We Got This joins us for two shows and a VIP meet and greet as part of a fantastic day of programming at Philly Improv Theater on June 23rd that also includes Overdue, Appointment Television, and Black Tribbles. Tickets for all these shows are on sale now.
We have a schedule! 45+ shows across six local venues. A few more updates are still coming and you can check everything out at:

We are pleased to add guys night movies to this year's Philly Pod Fest Schedule! We have so many great podcasts participating in the 5th annual Philadelphia Podcast Festival, so we're highlighting some of them in this Q&A series. Guys Night Movies will be recording live on Saturday, July 22 at 6:00pm at Kitchen Table Gallery.
How did your show come about? How did you meet your co-hosts? Originally I (Jared) posted movie reviews on Facebook that would just have my score, and then one day I put up a post but I asked if anybody would like to be a part of a podcast review movies every week. The core original members are Rashaun, Keels, Cadillac, SkuldugCorey, and Neuman later over the last few years Bucky and Angel followed in 2016 afterwards. So we started our first podcast in 2014 with The amazing Spiderman 2, X-Men Days of Future Past, and Transformers 4.
Are there episodes you consider your “greatest hits?” Which ones are good “entry” points for new listeners? Jared: Personal favorite two episodes of Star Wars episodes that are exclusively on iTunes, I wanted I want to pull a George Lucas and re-edit them again because of copyright pulling it from YouTube. Rashaun: some of our live shows we have done at some great conventions like Rhode Island comic con or Awesome con in Washington DC.
Rashaun: We feel like new listeners who are brand new to the podcast need to listen to our podcast episodes on Marvel and DC movies to get some laughs and see some of our differences in film we have.
What do you appreciate most about this medium? Keels: What we appreciate about podcasts is that anyone can get their voices heard about any topic they please. Literally anything, we've listened to podcasts about the origins of Hip-Hop, the death of Kitty Genovese, even Dungeon and Dragon quests. There's no limit. You don't have to go to school for it, you don't have to be a professional, all you need is a great group around you that shares the same passion as you. Podcasts are also entertaining for the creator and the consumer. For instance, look at us. We don't know if we're the only ones but whenever we listen to one of our podcasts, we just laugh and say "How else can people hear grown men ranting about 50 Shades Darker?" That's what we love about podcasts.
Jared: Gathering with the guys once a week easily, I not only consider it a podcast, I consider them a second family. We recently now meet every other Sunday to film for movie talk show.
What do you most look forward to when doing live shows? How does the show change? Most of us look forward to the crowd. We like when can go to a convention out of state and see if we can fill a room with 200 or 300 plus real podcast fans who have either listened to us since day one or are brand new to us. By the end of that live show they become a fan because they enjoy our conversation and our chemistry as friends and we give them a great show to enjoy.
