Bill Gerber: The Super-Producer Behind 'A Star Is Born' and 'Gran Torino'
Paul and Skip have an audience with a man who’s films have racked up an astonishing 47 Oscar noms over the course of his incredible career. During his long tenure at Warner Brothers, he helped bring classics like Goodfellas, JFK, Unforgiven, Heat, L.A. Confidential, and Twister to the big screen before embarking on an ultra-successful run as an independent producer. His reputation as a Hollywood visionary stems from the fact that he’s seen it all. During this candid interview, Gerber recounts his youth as a showbiz kid, rubbing shoulders with Paul’s Rat Pack friends alongside his agent father. He shares tales from his early days in the music industry, working with rock legends like Joni Mitchell and Neil Young as well as developing acts like Devo and The Cars in the burgeoning post-punk and New Wave scene. Gerber also shares rare insights into his decades-long creative alliance with Clint Eastwood, and explains the long journey to get the blockbuster ‘A Star Is Born’ off the ground.

TMZ Founder-in-Chief Harvey Levin
On this very special episode, Paul and Skip go on location to the nerve-center of entertainment journalism — TMZ’s studios — to talk to the man behind it all: Harvey Levin! The media mastermind gets personal as he reflects on being a firsthand witness to the assassination of RFK as a teen in 1968. He also opens up about getting his start in the business during the OJ Simpson trial, how he came up with the name "TMZ," and what it takes to run his operation today. (Hint: it involves getting up VERY early in the morning!) Levin also offers revealing insights on the ongoing Diddy headlines, and shares an unforgettable musical moment with Paul.

Customer Reviews
Heartwarming podcast
Hearing life experiences of the stars of 50s 60s music. Relaxing. I love listening to the challenges of music heros at the start of this widespread diverse music phenomenon.
So bad
It was good at first but I’m not waiting on seven minutes of ads to hear rich people brag about being rich and all the famous rich people they know. Good luck!
Fantastic
I have enjoyed this podcast. The interview style is refreshing and poignant.
