Film Stories with Simon Brew

This is one excellent podcast , great stories told succinctly with wit and care. I’ve not been so engaged with the film world for a long time .

This is by far the best podcast about film. It’s all you need: no fluff, no in-jokes, no nonsensical navel gazing, just stories - film stories. An engaging, charming host who lets the stories go the talking - and what stories they are. Perfect accompaniment to a commute, the washing up, or to enjoy with a cup of tea in a comfy chair. Great stuff and I cannot stop!

I listen to a whole host of podcasts across sport, investigative journalism, (unsurprisingly) film and comedy to name a few. However, I can confidently say that Film Stories is my favourite and that's all down to Simon Brew's clear passion for this. I think it's incredibly admirable that as podcast production becomes more commercialised by the day, Simon's priority continues to be creating the best experience for his listeners and not on trying to fill his pockets! I've listened for at least five years and have been meaning to write a review for a long time. The actual podcast is full of wild stories giving members of the public a real appreciation of the hoops filmmakers need to jump through to put something out on screen. Simon does this with a great sense of humour, detailed research and most importantly a strong narrative. I actually have thought the way he puts these together means that Hollywood may be missing out on a good fiction writer. Keep up the good work!

Enthralling. Unmissable. If you like film you need to listen to this show!
