Arielle: [00:00:00] Hey, it's Podcast Elevator Pitch. Welcome to the show. I'm Arielle Nissenblatt, your host, but it's not all about me. It's about the podcasts that have pitched us.
Arielle: This is the first episode of the show. The show in which I ask podcasters to call in and tell me about their work. Specifically, their limited run podcast work. Picture this. We're on an elevator together and you're pitching us your show. It's as simple as that. Why do we focus on limited run? Well, series like this are super hard to market and they take a lot of work and so many of them go under listened because the window for promotion is often super short.
Arielle: So this is the show trying to breathe a second wind into those shows, those limited series.
Arielle: The way this show works is that people can submit their audio via the submission form in the show notes. All of the instructions are there for you, podcaster. I [00:01:00] then hit play on your audio, and then you, listener, decide if you want to navigate over to that featured show on your podcast player of choice to listen to the series in full.
Arielle: From time to time, if the podcaster also submitted a trailer for their show, I'll hit play on that in order to give you a taste of the soundscape. Without further ado, let's get to today's Podcast Elevator Pitch.
DB: Hello. My name is Danielle Bezalel and my show is called Rom Com Vom. The general premise of the show is that it is a Sex Ed with DB podcast mini series, focused on exploring popular rom coms from the 90s and early 2000s that gave us toxic messages about love and sex.
DB: I am so thrilled to have made this mini series. I think that it's very funny and it allows millennials to do a re watch of some of our favorite rom coms ever and really [00:02:00] dissect the messed up messages that we received from them. The kinds of rom coms we go over in this mini series are Never Been Kissed, Love and Basketball, Twilight, 50 First Dates, Hitch, and much much more.
DB: I think it's really unique because I think that there are other rom coms podcast conversations out there, but I don't think they're specifically for millennials who want to do a rewatch and kind of a new dissection of how these rom coms completely messed up our brain when it comes to expectations around love and sex and romance.
DB: The show is perfect for anyone who loves rom coms, specifically for people who have a space in their heart for 90s and early 2000s rom coms, [00:03:00] for anyone who is obsessed with Meg Ryan or Drew Barrymore. Or Julia Roberts, or any of our girlies who we absolutely love and who are iconic. Thank you so much for considering me, and I really hope to chat soon.
Arielle: Thank you for listening to this pitch. We'll close out this episode with the trailer for the show that you just heard. We're back soon with more elevator pitches.
DB: Did the rom-coms of the nineties and early aughts totally mess up how we think about love and sex? Spoiler alert.
DB: Yep, they definitely did. I'm DB and this is Rom Com Vom, a new podcast miniseries from Sex Ed with DB, where we dive into the iconic rom-coms that made a swoon and cringe at the same time. We're talking You've Got Mail, Never Been Kissed, Twilight, and more, with hilarious guests who will help me pick apart the scenes that sent us all the wrong messages about love and sex.
DB: Plus, we'll reimagine how these films could have gotten it right. First episode drops October 9th. [00:04:00] See you there. Just type in sex ed with DB wherever you get your podcasts.
