Has anyone tried listening with friends and discussing afterwards?

I love listening to podcasts, but I would also like to share my experience with IRL friends. I am thinking something along the lines of suggesting a podcast, and inviting people over for wine, food and discussion.

Have any of you experimented with a format like this? What worked and what worked and do you have any advice in this area?

You might want to check in on this thread from a few days ago, where they talked about something pretty similar and how those worked - https://www.reddit.com/r/podcasts/comments/ezi2rh/has_anyone_here_started_a_podcast_club_like_a/

Thanks, I just followed the link to the podcastbrunchclub. It's not quite what I have in mind, in that you have to listen through a playlist vs what I would like to do which is sit around a table with some wine, listen and then talk. But, I am also posting here to learn what works for others.

Mmhmm, sounds like at least one person there had something like that. Good luck doing one!

You are right. Interesting that they listened through an entire series, presumably in one go. I'm hoping there are some more comments with experience, otherwise, I will just have to learn myself :)

That’s a really good idea. Similar to a book club. We are starting TED Talks Talk at my club. We watch a TED Talk then talk about it!

There are definitely podcast book clubs out there. Would be cool for someone to build a directory so we can find them locally.
