Kermode and Mayo’s film review podcast goes worldwide with Sony Music

Sony Music Entertainment’s Global Podcast Division has partnered with leading film critic Mark Kermode and radio host and movie fanatic Simon Mayo.

The news has been announced following their last film review show on BBC Radio 5 Live on Friday afternoon.

The broadcasters will present Kermode and Mayo’s Take, a new twice weekly podcast series focusing on theatrical, streaming and physical film releases, as well as television in the UK and US.

Kermode and Mayo’s Take will feature reviews and previews, big guest interviews and audience correspondence in each episode. It will include discussions about current and classic releases, recommendations and warnings, as well as special episodes that respond to big news and events across the industry.

Listeners can also subscribe to Take 2 on Apple Podcasts, which will feature an hour of recommendations for underseen movies and television programmes, plus the pair’s discussion of big recent movie and TV releases.

Mark Kermode says: “Simon Mayo is quite simply one of the best broadcasters in the word and I’m thrilled to be teaming up with him again for this new Sony podcast, which will allow us to bicker about movies and tv (and skiffle, obviously) to our hearts’ content.”

Simon Mayo adds: “We said it wasn’t the end. The sequel is here… this time with sequins.”

Jez Nelson, Executive Vice President and Co‑Head of Global Podcasts at Sony Music Entertainment, says: “Kermode and Mayo have made an incredible impact in UK audio for decades. They are radio icons but also pioneers of podcasting. We are thrilled to welcome them to Sony Music and to now work with them to take their amazing partnership and peerless take on movies to the next level globally.”

Kermode and Mayo’s Take launches on Thursday 5 May on all podcast platforms. Find out more at kermodeandmayo.com.
