Who was the first independent podcaster to turn a podcast into a TV show? We asked that question yesterday; Aaron Mahnke reminded us that his show Lore holds the title of the first TV show based directly on an indie podcast (Amazon Prime, first airing Oct 2017; we reported it in Aug 2017). Other indie-podcasts-turned-TV-shows include Limetown (Facebook Watch, Oct 2019), The Midnight Gospel, from the Duncan Trussell Family Hour (Netflix, Apr 2020), and Archive 81 (Netflix, Jan 2022). Podcasts from bigger networks, rather than indies, include The Ricky Gervais Show (HBO and Channel 4, Feb 2010) and Earwolf Media's Comedy Bang! Bang! (IFC, June 2012).
