Comprehensive and Delightful

I went from knowing next to nothing about any Jem properties to reading the comics all the way through because of this podcast. The hosts have an excellent interpersonal dynamic that's a real treat to hear, and they all know their stuff. They cover the show, the IDW comic series (and give some much-needed chronology and spin-off explanations for those of us unfamiliar with modern comics releases!) and even the live-action movie! Most episodes won't take up more than a half-hour, so even though there's hours and hours of content, the editing is tight and it doesn't feel like there's anything being put in for the sake of padding. If you're a fan of Jem or just like listening to people talk about pop culture, I cannot recommend the Jem Jam enough.
