The Wire - Omar Comin' - Commissioned Podcast

Hey there, A.Ron here with a very special commissioned podcast with a unique history and focus. First, thanks to Andrew Stannard for using Subbable to make this all possible, and for working with us patiently on the format of the podcast. Andrew wanted us to talk about The Wire. The problem is, I've got massive plans for a Ultimate Badass Criterion Sapphire The Wire Podcast, and I didn't want to take his money to release an inferior version. So, we compromised. We'd record a podcast about his favorite character, Omar Little, and we'd highlight two episodes that showcase a particular facet of the character, all without doing any major spoilers. I selected episode 206, "All Prologue", and 306, "Homecoming", to show off Omar at his best, and Omar at one of his lowest points. Along the way Jim and I gush about The Wire, why we love it, why it can be hard at times to love, why Omar is such an important character for The Wire in general and pop culture at large, and talk about our favorite moments from these two episodes. I also divulge some details about my upcoming The Wire podcast series, and why it's taking so damn long. Thanks again, Andrew, I hope we delivered the goods! Learn more about your ad choices.
