I am an avid physical media collector. I listen to many podcasts about films & blu-rays. The Disc Connected is the best source for new and upcoming physical media releases. Its host, Ryan Verril, seems to be one of the most knowledgeable individuals on the subject. I swear he’s seen EVERYTHING ever released! 🙂 In addition to physical media news, The Disc Connected podcast also has great interviews with filmmakers, boutique label owners, film preservation experts, other collectors, independent store owners, movie theater owners, and more. I appreciate the interviews the most. Ryan Verril always has very good questions for his guests that help guide the conversation. If you only listen to one physical media podcast, the listen to The Disc Connected!
During the pandemic, I got into collecting physical media again, so I began looking for podcasts about the hobby. This is the best of the bunch. Ryan's interviews with physical media label programmers enhance my appreciation for the skill, hard work, and passion that goes into making great releases. His weekly ReConnected live shows give me the scoop on everything new coming out and make me feel like I'm part of a community. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Also be sure to check out the other podcasts in the Someone's Favorite Productions network.
Hands down this podcast should be essential listening for all physical media collectors. Equal parts entertaining and informative. Following along week to week will keep you up to speed on all the new announcements and help with planning what discs you may want to pick up. Ryan is an excellent host with great delivery and generally manages to bring the best out of his guests each episode.
As a physical media collector I’m always looking for new shows that celebrate it. This show is a great source of information about all things physical media.
At a glance this seemed like a podcast made for me. I’m an avid collector of boutique Blu rays and such. I’d love to hear about upcoming releases, but wow. I do t have this amount of time to devote to a single podcast. Plus, I dropped out after several minutes of introductions of the people joining online. I just want to hear the news and reviews. I’m sorry, but I don’t care who else is listening that I don’t know. And there’s no time codes listed so I can skip the self congratulatory segment. Maybe a digest version of the show? Just the news and reviews and such?
