Reviews
Another homerun for Gimlet. It’s like American Idol but for podcasts
Podchaser54 years agoThe Podcast Discovery Show- Where’s the Exciting Business Opportunity?
I binged on, and loved every single one of the Casting Call episodes, but especially all three pilots. I was counting on those shows being made! My favorite one about talking to the dying didn’t win, but I thought that “An Exciting Business Opportunity” was a good idea too. However, they got the host but didn’t make the initial podcast idea. Instead, a much less interesting show popped up, which is kinda disappointing, to say the least.

Germany4 years ago - A little disappointed
I loved the show and always love Jonathan Goldstein, but was disappointed to find out that the actual podcast was not the one they pitched and made the pilot of. What happened to “An Exciting Business Opportunity?” I was really looking forward to that.

United States4 years ago - Season 2 not worth it
So much potential but the winning host from season 1 completely abandoned the project that won and the 2nd season is a sort of rambling audio diary of mundane, young adult angst. Unfortunately not engaging.
Apple Podcasts1phodatUnited States4 years ago - Casting Call Good, So Help Me Not So Much
The competition episodes were good but So Help Me is just not entertaining. Should’ve had a different winner
