Hearing From the Best

Captive and captivating! I’ve really never understood what a set director did. And now, I’m learning from the best. Betsy and Cal - you feed off of each other like Dean & Jerry or The Joker and Harley! Love your humor and love hearing from the stars of the industry.

Obsessively Listening

Betsy is asking all the good questions!! I love that April & Cal started this podcast to converse with the creative talent behind our favorite films and shows. I’ve already exhausted every set dec related interview on YouTube, so it was time for some fresh content! I’m fascinated with set decorating and aspiring towards this world myself. So I love learning how people started their careers, gleaning from the wisdom shared, and hearing all about the processes & methods of how they make magic happen on screen. Keep up the good work ladies, this podcast is awesome!
