Yes.
Yes. Every review originally released through our seasonal donation drives is available for individual purchase through the Now Playing Podcast Digital Store, so you can buy only the episodes or retrospective series that interest you without becoming a subscriber.
Many listeners use the Digital Store to fill gaps in their collection, revisit favorite reviews, or complete a retrospective series at their own pace.
Not every episode is available individually. More than 100 subscriber-exclusive episodes, including extended cuts of selected reviews and other bonus content, are available only to supporters at the $10/month level or higher through Apple Podcasts, Patreon, or Podbean. You can view a complete list of subscriber-exclusive episodes to see what's included with those memberships.
No.
Now Playing Podcast is independently produced and funded directly by listeners. We don't accept traditional advertising or sponsorships within our review episodes, allowing the hosts to discuss movies honestly without influence from studios, advertisers, or commercial partners.
Listener support has made the podcast possible since 2007, and we're grateful to everyone who helps keep the show independent.
Yes.
Our free reviews are available through a standard podcast RSS feed that works with virtually every podcast app. Supporters also receive private RSS feeds that provide access to the bonus reviews included with their membership or donation level.
Whether you listen with Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Overcast, Podcast Addict, or another podcast app, you can subscribe using the appropriate feed for your account.
Every free episode remains available through the Now Playing Podcast website and podcast feed.
Our complete archive, including hundreds of bonus reviews and special episodes, is available to supporters through our donation program and Patreon. You can also purchase many individual reviews through the Now Playing Podcast Digital Store if you prefer to buy specific episodes rather than subscribe.
The easiest way to explore everything we've produced is through the Movie Review Archive and Series Archive on our website.
Now Playing Podcast is funded almost entirely by its listeners.
Support comes through Patreon, seasonal donation drives, purchases from our Digital Store, and other listener-supported programs. That support allows us to research, record, edit, host, and preserve one of the largest movie review archives in podcasting while keeping our regular Tuesday reviews free for everyone.
We're incredibly grateful to every listener who helps make the show possible.

Now Playing Podcast is an independent production and is not owned, sponsored, or controlled by any movie studio, streaming service, distributor, or entertainment company.
Our reviews reflect the honest opinions of the hosts, whether those opinions are positive, negative, or somewhere in between.
The free Now Playing Podcast feed features a new movie review nearly every Tuesday, along with monthly Intermission episodes, book reviews, interviews, and selected special features.

No matter how you listen, every episode, free or donation, receives the same care, research, and production quality.
You can listen to Now Playing Podcast in just about any way you prefer.
Free episodes are available on the Now Playing Podcast website, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and most other podcast apps through our public RSS feed.
Supporters can also listen through private podcast feeds, Patreon, the Now Playing Podcast website, or by purchasing individual reviews through the Digital Store.
