All around, inspiring

I really enjoy this podcast for many reasons but this is one of my favorites to listen to when it comes to podcasts about the film industry. The host, Bobby is incredibly well-spoken and a great interviewer. He guides the conversations so well and they really get into some inspiring stories about people making their dreams a reality.
