“I’m sure it can’t be easy to get these writers on your show, but each is so insightful and I love hearing the thought process of these successful writers. Appreciate both the respectful, but not fawning, interviewing and the generosity in sharing their process.
I just wish there were more…”

“Al’s questions are always very thoughtful and draw out insightful answers from his guests. I find I have to stop the episodes every few minutes because there are SO MANY good ideas I need to joy down. Brilliant show, brilliant guests. Also: totally professional production.
The best! Bravo.”

I have my speaker (that I listen to other interview pods on without issue) maxed out, and I still really struggle to catch a lot of what is said. Please adjust mixing...”Read full review »

“Common man, You're distorting the narrative by characterizing every male character as a preditor.
Its beyond obvious youre pushing your ideals on listeners and sometimes testing the limits with the writers you interview. Please give it a rest. Its much more unsafe being a man. We do all the...”Read full review »

“The Adam McKay episode might be one of the most important and poignant podcasts on Film I’ve listened to this year. The subject matter, the why of making movies and the value of making work that is in dialogue with current times. Ace questions, beautiful, meaningful answers.”

Writing can be a solitary calling and you...”Read full review »
