Well, it's the last Monday of the month, so that means it's time for this month's podcast recommendation: THE INDUSTRY, hosted by Dan Delgado.
Every week Why I’ll Never Make It likes to highlight and dive into the areas that hold us back as artists, the realities of this business with all of its ups and downs. Sometimes we find success and other times, like now, we face hardship and/or failure. So when I happened upon a television and movie podcast that did the same thing, focusing on lesser known stories behind the scenes, I was immediately intrigued.
Since 2018, THE INDUSTRY has taken a closer look at actors who thought too much of themselves, producers who did not know what they were doing, and studios that would do anything for a hit show. Delgado's exposé, for example, of the rival movies Lambada and The Forbidden Dance, which both came out at the same time in 1990, revealed a lot of the behind the scenes bickering and was highly entertaining.
But it was actually a very different kind of episode that first introduced me to THE INDUSTRY. Last Christmas Dan did a bonus episode all about the first Charlie Brown Christmas Special on CBS and how it almost didn't get made. Since that episode I've been hooked.
Dan gives some backstory to his podcast, and in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, he also shares a bit of his own background as well.
So in your playlist of podcasts, I heartily recommend you add The Industry. Just put it after Why I’ll Never Make It, of course. :)

[0:04] Patrick Oliver Jones: Hello and welcome to this month's podcast recommendation, which comes out the last Monday of every month.
[0:11] Patrick Oliver Jones: I'm Patrick Oliver Jones, and as you know from listening to my podcast, Why I'll Never Make It, I like to highlight and dive into the things that hold us back as artists, the realities of this business with all of its ups and downs.
[0:28] Patrick Oliver Jones: Sometimes we find success and other times hardship and failure.
[0:33] Patrick Oliver Jones: So when I happened upon a television and movie podcast that did the same thing, focusing on lesser-known stories behind the scenes, well, I was immediately intrigued.
[0:47] Dan Delgado: My name is Dan Delgado, and I'm the host and creator of a podcast called The Industry.
[0:53] Dan Delgado: The Industry is a documentary podcast about the lesser known or forgotten stories of movie history.
[0:59] Dan Delgado: I've been doing it for a little over two years now, so since 2018.
[1:04] Dan Delgado: Basically, The Industry takes a closer look at actors who thought too much of themselves, producers who did not know what they were doing, and studios that would do anything for a hit show.
[1:34] Patrick Oliver Jones: But it was actually a very different kind of episode that first introduced me to The Industry.
[1:40] Patrick Oliver Jones: Last Christmas, Dan did a bonus episode all about the very first Charlie Brown Christmas special on CBS, and how it almost didn't happen.
[1:51] Patrick Oliver Jones: Since that episode, I've been hooked.
[1:54] Patrick Oliver Jones: But instead of me babbling on and on about how much I love it, here's Dan again with some backstory to his podcast.
[2:02] Dan Delgado: I've been making podcasts and broadcasting online since 2006, but nothing like this.
[2:08] Dan Delgado: Each episode is a lot of work conducting interviews, getting people to consent to interviews, writing scripts, and then editing it all together.
[2:16] Dan Delgado: But it's also the best thing I've done.
[2:18] Dan Delgado: Since June, I've been affiliated with Movie Maker Magazine, which does make it a bit easier to get those interviews.
[2:30] Dan Delgado: But then someone told me no one is going to want to be a guest on something called Failure Club.
[2:36] Dan Delgado: So it's now The Industry.
[3:30] Patrick Oliver Jones: In In the Heights. And although Abella Claudia is Cuban, that song still has really made me think about what her struggles must have been like, but I probably had not considered them too much before then.
[3:45] Patrick Oliver Jones: So in your playlist of podcasts, I heartily recommend you add The Industry.
[3:51] Patrick Oliver Jones: I mean, you can put it after Why I'll Never Make It, of course.
