Lost in Space
Podcasts are cross-wicked in the Web Original category. Also, your article is of poor quality and it's not clear that this podcast contains enough creative content to be tropable.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Thanks for the answer. Aside from your last point is there anything specific you would suggest I change to improve the article? It is a work in progress and I will take any advice I can get.
Several entries are Zero-Context Examples. That is, the entry needs to succinctly explain both what the trope is and how it applies to the work, so that someone who is unfamiliar with both can still understand it. April Fools' Day, Kaiju, Madness Mantra, Sanity Slippage, and Tears of Blood all lack enough context to understand both these elements. In particular, April Fools' Day is about pranks or special issues released on April 1st, and there's nothing about the entry that indicates it was anything other than normal episode.
The Guest Host entry violates Example Indentation in Trope Lists. You should have one bullet for the trope, and all examples at the same, subordinate level.
So Bad, It's Good is a YMMV trope that isn't normally allowed on the main page. Since it's a review show, if the cast talks about the concept then it's ok, but you need to provide more context to prove that the trope was in fact discussed on the show.
I would suggest you check out Welcome to TV Tropes and How to Create a Work's Page.

There is no Planet B
Review shows are rarely tropable... Usually it's possible if they create some kind of "online persona" that is different from their real life one or if they specialise in Conversed Tropes, or if their reviews use Comedy Tropes. Something in this vein.
Anyway, my peer review of your examples:
- Alternate Universe: Several, both in the films and in the podcast itself. The most noteable being the San Fransisco Lives universe where Rob and Cameron host a small monster podcast and Thanos is played by Randy Quaid.
- Zero-Context Example.
- Example Indentation in Trope Lists.
- Redundant word cruft: Several, both in the films and in the podcast itself.
- April Fools' Day: On April 1st 2019 Rob and Cameron released San Fransisco Lives Episode 30: Critters.
- ZCE. How is that significant?
- Guest Host: The actual composition of the cast varies depending on the host availability but, for the most part, Kyle, Cameron, and Rob make up the core of the cast, with Marisa as an occasional guest host.
- Coleman Returned in 2019 for the Godzilla (2014) review.
- Rob and Cameron were joined by Josh from the Legal Geeks for Gappa: The Triphibian Monster.
- indentation;
- Madness Mantra: See Sanity Slippage
- No trope is self-explanatory. Madness Mantra and Sanity Slippage are not the same thing. Each trope must be explained on its own.
- Sanity Slippage: Writing review articles for Kong: King of the Apes turns out to be a bit more than even Rob can handle.
Rob: It's Kong all the way down. It's Kong all the way down. It's kong...
- More or less the best written entry, but a quote is not sufficient for an example context. The trope till needs explanation. And did Rob really gradually lose his mind over the course of doing one review? Or was is just a one time gag? See... troping reviewers who do not act or are written as characters is problematic.
- So Bad, It's Good: Rob specializes in this kind of media.
- Also ZCE, so this needs explanation. Why does he do that? What criteria does he have? It also needs an [invoked] or In-Universe tag because this is an Audience Reaction, and these YMMV-tropes are not allowed on work pages.
- Tears of Blood: Do! not! look into the Orb.
- Flat "What". A really bad case of ZCE. With Sink Hole.
There's No Such Thing as Notability, but this wiki specializes in story-telling and media that create fictional worlds and fictional characters. Troping real life people is kinda icky because it's essentially treating them as imaginary characters.
We welcome people who write content and create pages... but really, not much would be lost if this page got cut. Sorry.
So I searched and couldn't find anything about this. I created a new podcast page, Tokyo Lives, I wanted to add examples from it to some trope pages, but I'm not sure where to put them. Is podcast a category all by itself or would it fall under web original or something like that. I did some looking around but I couldn't find any other podcast examples to work from, so I am not sure how this works. Thanks.
