  • Film Preservation at Its Finest

    Great podcast that covers Vinegar Syndrome releases month by month. The only issue is the volume is so low on mobile earbuds, I have to max it out just to barely hear the hosts and their guests. Mix it a little louder, please!

  • Could be much better…

    Occasionally has interesting guests connected to Vinegar Syndrome, but the host is not very engaging and the lack of knowledge shines through pretty often. Far too many physical media podcasts these days are the equivalent of YouTube “haul” videos, and a good portion of this one falls into that category.

  • Great Show

    I am a huge fan of Vinegar Syndrome. This show does a great job of getting guests from either VS directly or the Blue Ray Collector community. It is a really fun listen.
