Emmy Podcast #32: The Limited Series Categories
Podcasting in the time of corona.
The AwardsWatch Emmy Podcast returns and this week I am joined by Kevin Jacobsen and Amanda Spears to talk about the Limited Series categories and the state of television in the ever-changing landscape the coronavirus pandemic has created.
We open by talking a bit about our own personal experiences with the outbreak, the lockdowns and our existential thoughts. My sincere apologies for any of my coughing that comes through, I’ve been battling a severe dry cough (no fever!) and did the best I could to stifle it.
Even with the new season of Fargo out of the mix (production had to halt because of the virus and it won’t make its April debut), the Limited Series races are jam packed with great content, most especially the lead actress and supporting actress categories. Full of Oscar winners and nominees, Emmy winners and nominees, both are set to be the most exciting of the season.
This podcast runs 47m 15s with intro and outro.
Opening: The trailer for HBO’s Watchmen
Closing: “New York City By Day” by Thomas Newman from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan
