Reviews

Miranda Sawyer in the Observer

• The Mangione Trial (BBC World Service) - “The day-by-day, in-depth programming won’t start until later in 2026, when the trial proper begins. Personally, I’m hoping for some fashion analysis too: Mangione’s loafers-no-socks look has attracted attention in pre-trial court appearances.”
• Broken Veil (Cheese & Pickle) - “We can expect great creativity and entrepreneurship in the comedy and drama area of audio. Joel Morris and Will Maclean, the team behind the brilliant Broken Veil, released the single-episode Tond before Christmas. The comedy writers are planning to release the occasional one-off show while making a second series”

Lucy White in the Irish Independent

• The Cinemile (Ind.) - “The Irish pair launched the show in London in 2016 with a deceptively simple premise: recording their post-film analysis on the walk home after a night out at the cinema…the charming couple have largely remained true to their inspired idea.”
• Movie Bears Podcast (Ind.) - “It’s a natty twist on the average film review…light-hearted and fun show by three film enthusiasts”
• From Beneath The Hollywood Sign (Ind.) - “A pleasure trove of golden-age insights”
