Customer Reviews
Good podcast
Provides good insight into the life of writers with great interviews. The only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because Hilliard Guess is a horrible interviewer. He cusses for no reason (even if the guests are not cussing) so I can’t listen to the podcast in the car when my kids are there. And he can’t simply ask a question without throwing in some random remark.
Good access, poor preparation by hosts and production
I wish a podcast that has a group behind it like the WGA West would put a few bucks into production. Listening to tinny sound for an hour is fine for the folks starting out, but come on WGA! I also wish these hosts would prepare more, and talk less about themselves. Especially for the one host I’ve looked up one, and they (being vague not to call out anyone too intensely) don’t seem to have any significant screenwriting credits, so I’m not sure why they are a host? Anyway, it’s not too late to put a little money into this so a sound engineer can help, and a host can get a producer to prep them.
Barry Jenkins Interview
I love hearing Barry Jenkins speak about his processes!
