What BM Podcasts should I be listening to?
I’m experiencing a sort of yearning in the sense that my life is lacking some weekly Bald Move coverage of...anything, really. With GoT and Walking Dead done for, as well as Better Call Saul, Fargo, and I guess Westworld (ugh) being on hiatus, are there any current shows being covered by Bald Move? I’ve got Watchmen to look forward to, I listen to Pickle Me This and I don’t even like that show, I download the TV podcast when there’s something I watch being discussed, but that’s it for me. When I search the podcast app, it seems pretty much all of the Bald Move shows that come up are off-air now. What’s current that I’m missing out on?

Plus tons of highly anticipated movies on the Movie feed.
But on the other hand, it's probably the best way to consume it if you're an uber fan, and we'll probably get advance screeners for at least the first 5 episodes or so, which will help out with a). But I still wish they'd buck the Netflix trend rather than trying to copy it.
All the same I know Bald Move will do the best job possible with the hand dealt.
But if the touchstone isn't there I don't really have a problem with binging. I've forgone watching shows like The Handmaids Tale and The Terror cause I don't feel like being constrained to the weekly schedule isn't worth it when there isn't a community available (online or in real life) that I enjoy discussing it with, in real-time. I'll watch them at my own pace based on how I'm feeling it.
I think whatever podcast is planning on doing that is making a big mistake traffic wise. Another way you could do it is rush it out Bald Move style, then do a revisit with feedback each week. I just think you'd be lucky to get 10% of the traffic with the revisit. Ooh, another idea is to do the revisit 10 weeks out from the next season. Get people hyped for the next and get your feed warmed up as far as iTunes metrics go...
I'd like to see data on how these binge shows are watched by most people. They become such a blur. I can't even remember how I listened to the casts for Stranger Things. I think I finished season 3 in two days, but I know I didn't do episode, cast, episode ,cast... probably more like binging chunks of show, then podcasts. I guess I'd stick have around for the casts if they were weekly or if there was a retrospective, but I'm like a "core" Bald Move fan, I don't provide good marketing data.
Reality is that this is dropping in mid-December and it would be a big commitment for you guys to do this leading into Christmas. Alternatively maybe do abbreviated coverage and then flesh out into full treatment on a rewatch leading into the following season?
