More About the Podcast
There are already multiple barry podcasts out in the world. What makes LFKT special?
There is a distinct lack of Barry content being produced by marginalized creators, and we believe it is important for those voices to be given an equal opportunity to speak on a show that features diverse characters. Many of the podcast guests are BIPOC, neurodivergent and/or members of the LGBTQIA+ community, which means they are qualified to discuss the feats and flaws of Barry through a unique lens and more likely to spark conversations never before discussed in other Barry podcasts.
Will LFKT discuss season four of Barry?
Yes! We will likely wait for the season to air in its entirety before we dive into the episodes, as we are going to need some time to emotionally and mentally process the end of a show that means so much to all of us. But rest assured we will be covering every episode of the final season.
What is the podcast format?
The format of the podcast is intended to tap into the rich and diverse community of Barry fans; so, rather than feature the opinions of the same people throughout, we will feature a revolving door of guests. There is no set structure, though each episode promises to cover topics in each episode that both the host and guests deem noteworthy, including direction, cinematography, acting, character beats, plot, themes and motifs, music, and more. The only constants of the podcast are Kailyn’s direction and a collective passion for the show.
