July Podcast Roundup: SXM Media TV & Film Podcasts

Summer is here!  Everyone is talking about the latest releases, and families are crowding couches for their favorite TV series. The TV and film podcast listening audience has increased over the past year. And the content is keeping pace, with an 86% increase in new podcasts, making it one of the fastest-growing categories (check out the

Podcast Trends Report 2022).  From reality TV gossip to deep dive rewatches of fan-favorite shows, there’s something for everyone! This month we’re excited to showcase some of our beloved, exclusive podcasts in the genre. 

Our first pick is an all-new show dropping this summer! Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary invite you to become a customer at

Video Archives, the store that started it all. Joined by their announcer Gala Avary, they’ll travel back in time to revisit old classics and discover new favorites, pulled from the actual VHS tapes that Quentin and Roger used to recommend to customers at the original Video Archives store in Manhattan Beach. From controversial James Bond films to surprising exploitation flicks, the duo will expose you to movies you didn't know you'd love, give awards to their favorites, and, of course, rate the quality of the video transfer.

Next up is a fan favorite, frequenting the top of the charts and earning honors like Discover Pods Awards Best TV & Movie Podcast, iHeart’s Podcast of the Year 2021, and nominations from the Shorty Awards, Ambies, and Webbies. The Office co-stars and best friends, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, bring listeners the ultimate rewatch podcast. Each week, Jenna and Angela break down an episode of The Office and give exclusive behind-the-scenes stories that only the people who were there can tell you.

Office Ladies makes sans feel like they’re sitting down with old friends rewatching their favorite show.
