Do you remember something from the past that can be conclusively proven to be superior to comparable items that exist now? Then Just My Show may be the thing to scratch your nostalgic itch. Unfortunately, I'm not old enough to have actually experienced nostalgia yet, but I am looking forward to it!
Host Eric Greenberg is your guide through the wonderful world of Things That Were and are Still Considered Awesome. He's got yer Top Gun, yer Wang Chung and yer Burt Young all in one place.
Just My Show's main staple are the interviews of the celebrities, creators and innovators of the wide realm of past pop-culture. The interview format is perfect for this podcast: Eric is an excellent host, guiding his guests as they regale him with interesting stories and tidbits from their careers with. The interviews are casual in tone and let you get to know the person behind the role they portrayed. Another bonus is that the people being interviewed are not strangers to a press tour, so they have some practice when it comes to providing an interesting interview.
And come on, he interviewed the guy behind Underoos! How is that not interesting?
Average Episode Length: A test sample of 5 shows gives an average time of 52 minutes. The shows looks like they can vary widely on times: the shortest show is 7 minutes and 21 seconds, while the longest show clocks in at 1 hour, 23 minutes and 15 seconds.
Drinking Game: Damn, I already used Crystal Pepsi. Perhaps you can enjoy a delicious Bartles and Jaymes?
Release Schedule: Previous releases look to be irregular, but now they look like they're set for a once a month schedule. Considering that this podcast is highly dependent on reviews with celebrities, that's an impressive release schedule with all the wrangling it must get to record each interview.
Music: A little opening song, a little ending song, I like it!
Unintentionally Good Part: Would it be odd to say that Just My Show has a fantastic website? Apparently it was recently revamped and it's great! Visually appealing, easy to navigate and there's lots of little fun tidbits tucked around the edges, like links to retro commercials for you to find.
Unintentionally Bad Part: The fact that the interviews are very specific to certain shows or aspects of pop-culture means a subscriber might go a few episodes without having anything pique their interests. Fortunately this is balance by a fine archive, where listeners should be able to build up a buffer of episodes.
Just My Show: retro a-go-go, on the go... fo' whenever you... want mo'? Give it a listen!
