Three Films and a Podcast

19/02/2024

We're proud to officially announce our rebrand to Unsung Gems!

Over the hundreds of episodes we recorded as Three Films and a Podcast, we discovered that our Unsung Gems rounds brought out the most passion from our guests and ourselves. With that realization, it made sense to pivot the podcast to dig deeper in that direction.

The new show format is:
• You bring your unsung gem to the show
• You plead its case
• Our jury (us) decide whether it is indeed an Unsung Gem.

Only those that pass with flying colors earn the coveted title 'Certified Unsung Gem'.

Do you have an unsung gem you'd like to discuss? We'll post periodically for guest sign-ups.

For now, enjoy some of the details of the rebrand in the slides! Thanks for being along for the journey. We're looking forward to the next chapter!
