Who am I?
I love movies, tv shows, comedy specials, documentaries. There are many experts on pop culture, but I try to curate awesome lists. The question of "What should I watch tonight?" comes up all the time. Netflix, Amazon, Youtube, etc. all do a good job suggesting ideas, but nothing is better than a person.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

What is my podcast playlist about?
My playlist is about great things to watch and great people to listen to. Sometimes you just need a sample to remember how great a show or movie was, and it's also good to be reminded of the artists who created the stuff we love.
