Kim Masters’ knowledge of the business of Hollywood leads to exceptional insights that result from in-depth questions to her guests. If you’re interested in the business of Hollywood, this is the podcast for you. 🇨🇦

She's an encyclopedia of knowledge. And the banter off the top with Matt is so juicy and informative I want a whole half-hour of it.

Kim Masters is a veteran reporter on the business and really knows her stuff. But although i enjoy the opening news banter, I often skip the interview segment because it feels like she chooses guests more based on what she sees as social issues than on the business and culture of the entertainment business. If you like an informative and no nonsense approach to what’s happening in the business of entertainment, try listening instead to Matt Bellany’s “The Town” from Puck news, which is everything I hoped “the business” would be, and more!

If you love the movies and you want to understand how the industry really works, this is the show for you. Savvy host Kim Masters interviews all manner of movie-makers and reveals what makes them tick. The Business is great listening: smart, sassy and stylish. Listen and learn!

Host Claude Brodesser is not only a writer for Variety, but he's a pretty darned talented radio personality to boot. The risk for a show like this is that it could be dry and above the heads of the average listener, but it turns out to be an insightful, witty, wry and perceptive examination of Hollywood that exposes other entertainment "news" shows as the fluff they really are. Business issues in entertainment are treated here with a great sensitivity to be delivered in a compelling way and the show is surprisingly interesting while maintaining a smart sense of humor. It's educational enough to turn any listener into a savvy Hollywood "insider". And find out why "schadenfreude" is the current buzzword adored by people in the Business.
