The Film Library: A Kanopy Podcast - Coming Soon

Kanopy – the no-fee, no-ads streaming service available with a Library card or university login – announces the launch of its new podcast, “The Film Library,” on Friday, June 7, 2024, wherever you get your podcasts.

This new podcast is hosted by film buffs Alonso Duralde, chief U.S. film critic of The Film Verdict, and Daniel Thompson, admitted film enthusiast and armchair movie critic. Together, they are setting out to help listeners and viewers navigate Kanopy’s massive collection of diverse, newly released, classic, independent films, television, and kids' content.

The Film Library covers great film history and content available on the streaming service. If a film is referenced on the podcast and available stream, it is linked to the Kanopy.com service. Kanopy offers a vast library of over 30,000+ new releases, classic, independent, Oscar-winning, and foreign films, as well as TV shows from 12,000 filmmakers and impressive supplier partners. The streaming service is available to a growing number of libraries around the world.
