About this episode

Jennifer Avila shares the story behind the end of 'Wholesome TV Picks' and offers final recommendations for family-friendly content.

After 15 months of wholesome family TV recommendations, Wholesome TV Picks is signing off for good. Jennifer shares the real story behind the decision — the hours, the burnout, the joy, and the gratitude — so loyal listeners don't get left without an explanation. She also leaves you with a final batch of movie and TV picks to carry you forward. 📌 Episode Highlights The Hours No One Sees: Each episode took 12 to 15 hours to produce — planning, editing, SEO research, show notes, newsletters, and more. Jennifer breaks down what went into every single week. Flying Blind: With no listener feedback over 15 months, Jennifer had no way to know what was working. She shares how that silence made an already hard job even harder. One More Round of Picks: Before signing off, Jennifer recommends dog movies, overlooked classics, and underrated gems including Masters of the Universe , It Takes Two , The Brooke Ellison Story , and I Am Sam . 🔗Episode Links: Dave Jackson's School of Podcasting Courtney Elmer of Insider Secrets to a Top 100 Podcast Courtney Elmer's Podcast SEO Mastery Course ✨ Other Episodes You'll Love Episode 15: The New Lassie: A wholesome reboot of the '50s original with…
