I always love the content, but it takes too long to reach the main interview. Share the 9mins of house cleaning on the blog dive into the amazing interviews… or maybe split it up. A bit short-sighted with Ashley’s Thandiwe Newton’s comment.

I have been listening for just over a year, as a budding and wannabe writer-director, and this podcast really gives me hope and confidence that I can go out there and make something myself. Hearing people’s stories gives a realistic point of view on making movies. Good job.

I’ve been listening to Ashley Scott Meyers for over a year now and I’ve found his interviews to be fantastic. He asks really nuts and bolts questions that most other podcasts and books just gloss over. "How did you find the producer who bought your script?" "Did you write a query,...Read full review »

I enjoy all of Ashley's podcast. I especially liked #224 w/ Rob Tobin where he revealed it took him 25 years to sell his first screenplay. It's great to hear persistence pays off. Ashley's podcast doesn't sugarcoat how hard this business it yet manages to inspire and motivate....Read full review »

The audio is terrible, it’s good content but I can’t hear it most of the time without blowing out my eardrums.

PABLO VIZCARRONDO via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/16
I listen on my iPhone and plug into my car audio system or listen with headphones. The volume is so inconsistent though that I'm unsubscribing. The intro is often quiet and then sometimes the interviews are loud (one party) and most times they're quiet and the host is quiet. I crank my...Read full review »

I'm going through past episodes and checking imdb as I listen to these, show is what it says it is. And a more humble, realistic way to look at this business. Like the small movie side of thing and what goes into these. I'm not a screenwriter but in the creative arts. And thinking about...Read full review »

Solid interviews with indie directors and screenwriters. Preface before the interview is slightly too rambling & long, but worth it to get to the meat.
DirkBlade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/16
Ashley does a great job outlining all the ways in which aspiring screenwriters can get their material noticed or to improve their material. He also gets a lot of great guests on the show to talk about their own experiences in the industry as well. Highly recommend.

This podcast by Ashley Scott Meyers has very good content. The production value (e.g. audio levels, clarity of interviews, etc.) is not very good. It has the ability to improve and raise in its ratings if the production value is addressed.

Solid episodes on all facets of the world of screenwriting. In all honesty though, the audio quality is a real let down.

The differential advantage of this podcast (IMO) is the perspective offered by a variety of people on the front lines.
