The Saturday Quiz
Parcopresis with Alex Jae and Alexei Toliopoulos
Season 5, Ep. 18
•
The podcaster community is a tight one. We tend to all have the same challenges of finding fresh guests for each episode. Invite one podcast host to be a guest on your show, and they’ll put you in touch with another who could be a potential guest, or they’ll introduce you to a podcast that you may not have been aware of.
Todays episode is a case in point.
Alexei Toliopoulos has been on the show before - he’s a prolific podcaster whose latest show The Last Video Store is an absolute delight tailor made to show off his encyclopaedic knowledge of cinema.
This time he's brought along Alex Jae, who is likewise a host of several podcasts, her latest one being Screen Queens, a twice-weekly podcast about EVERYTHING you watch and see on your screens. From cinema to television to tiktok and everything in between.
