Featuring a rotating cast, the site hosts five weekly podcasts covering current events, pop culture, movie reviews and video games.
All of the shows are featured as free audio podcasts or can be viewed as streaming and archived video through a paid subscription.
History
After the closure of Spill.com in 2013, Korey Coleman was encouraged by friends and fans to create a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new home for his content.
The original goal was set at $30,000. During the campaign, Coleman and Martin Thomas continued to podcast and update fans on the growing total. On the last night, they held a 24-hour live stream with guests and fans stopping by for support. At the end of the stream, the final amount given was $133,860.
As a result, doubletoasted.com was created, and launched on 2 July 2014.
Podcasts & Segments
Unlike Spill.com, Double Toasted features both audio and video for every show. Since the site's launch in July 2014, there have been several podcasts started - each with a different cast.
The Sunday Service
Korey Coleman and Martin Thomas sit down for some free form conversation, the weekend box office, a recap of the week's highlighted stories, and take emails and calls from the audience. (Released every Sunday).
The show occasionally features interviews and appearances from members of the community, a.k.a. 'Toasties'.
Notable guests include:
The Casual Call-In Show
Korey Coleman, Danielle Dallaire and Ray Villarreal take the time to answer fan questions through phone calls, Skype and emails. (Released every Monday.)
The Weekly Roast and Toast
Korey Coleman, Martin Thomas, Korey Goodwin and Patrick Girts look at the latest trailers released, comment on submitted news stories of the week, followed by emails and phone calls. (Released every Tuesday).
The Movie Review Extravaganza
Korey Coleman, Martin Thomas and Korey Goodwin share their opinions on the latest releases. People have the chance to win a prize in the trivia game 'Martin (or Goodwin) gets a gold star!'. (Released on Wednesdays. Some shows may be rescheduled to accommodate the release dates of movies).
Rating system:
After giving their thoughts on the movie, each critic gives a rating based on how much of your time and money are worth spending on it. Each rating can have a high/low variation. The ratings are the same ones carried over from Spill.com. From highest to lowest, they are:
Once the review has been posted on the site, members of the community can give a one to five star rating, depending on what they thought of the film.
The High Score
Korey Goodwin and Patrick Girts discuss the latest video game news, followed by a playthrough of games chosen by the community. (Released every Saturday).
Sammy Ain't Seen Sh*t

What Up, Son!
Korey Coleman and his crazy friend Oz, who records from New York, host this segment. The two talk about the "Free Form Foolishness" in the world and divulge into a variety of topics mixed with casual conversation. The show was initially an audio only show, but has since started recording the show through video.
