    smart, efficient, and exciting
    Finally! John Horn is back! Always so well thought out, well executed, and asks the questions we all wanna know. Love "The Frame"/ “Retake”
  • C.A. Clemons
    I miss you
    This was such an awesome podcast. Well-produced. So informative and easy to listen to. I hope you return in some form soon.
  • hazelbnr
    Insightful & humorous
    Sen. Franken offers up some guests that have viewpoints that they are expand upon more widely than they would on cable & network interviews. His probing questions are welcomed.
  • FILMZZZZZZ
    Great podcast!
    Great interviews, very insightful.
  • IMFlippin
    The real deal!
    John Horn is the real deal master Host. This show is short conscientious but entertaining as hell I enjoy the way John is able to delve into his subject matters and dig out the nitty gritty of the arts, specifically his movie and TV reviews. He does it with such grace and ease and you can tell that how this translates to great interviews and well thought out subjects with his guests. Thoughtful, smart, easy to listen to and very enjoyable podcast. My number one entertainment podcast!
  • Rod Brown 4

    Excellent summary of TV and Movies!
  • MonicaForouzesh
    Great guests
    Insightful interviews from a wide variety of subjects and themes from video games to documentaries to hot new TV shows!
  • Cardinal Sarah
    Best Entertainment News Show
    The professional Access Hollywood. The Frame is consistently the BEST entertainment news program/podcast/radio show. Such a great mix of current events, interviews, money talk, race and gender issues, with a dash of necessary Hollywood fluff. And they a wide perspective for trends and influences worldwide. I LOVE this show!
  • CheyJam
    Cool
    Great coverage. Lot's of fun.
  • Justaminorthreat
    Great daily podcast
    Interesting, albeit brief podcast that talks about the arts. Some obscure, some mainstream, all worth a listen.
  • wowspring2
    Essential listening
    I wasn't sure about this podcast at first but it has become essential listening for entertainment news I can use.
  • Moman Rars
    Wow! Great Show
    If you’re at all curious about all the weird and wonderful things happening in the world of arts and entertainment, this is the show for you. I hear about stories and people that I’d never hear about anywhere else — love this show!
  • imogenecoco
    Hooked
    Started listening via a comment from Pop Culture Happy Hour. At first I thought it was OK….but now I’m addicted to it. Interviews and news you don’t here elsewhere…and I agree, John Horn is cool! Thanks …...

    Why do all my KPCC podcasts stop playing
    It seems to be contained to all of KPCC podcasts, but randomly while playing, the podcast will stop and play the next podcast on my playlist. For instance, in today’s episode 3/18/15 of The Frame about Apple Plans for Cable Alternatives..., it stops at about 8:25. Listening to an episode of Take Two, it stops about 4 minutes in. I have no explanation for any of this.
  • BAP Billie
    This is great!
    This is great!
  • Lyle 2014
    Good show
    I like this. Lots of good Hollywood stuff and not too long. Everything else on here is two people talking for an hour!
  • Wedsweds
    Poor sound mixing
    I liked John Horn on KCRW's The Business and am glad he got his own show. This podcast has really bad sound mixing (if it has any mixing at all). The music is loud. The voices are soft and sometimes drop off all together.
  • Lauren19751975
    Great!
    Love this!
  • Desdemona5
    This is great!
    Cool interviews!
  • SoCal 11111
    Great coverage of entertainment news. Excited for more
    Fun and interesting. New York magazine collab is cool!
  • Katherine 1979
    Cool!
    This podcast is great! I didn't hear about the "Trayvon" thing anywhere else. And John Horn is cool!
