Fascinating joyous pod about film creators!

Meg is a wonderful host that lets her very unique and talented guests really shine. Well thought out interviews with dynamic people in all avenues of film making and she has a fun and thoughtful conversation where I learn something new every time. Hooked!

Pretty good

Enjoy your interviews but turn your phone on silent when you are recording! It’s distracting to the listener.... and rude to your guest
