  • Give Simone a proper microphone.

    I love the information in this podcast. I listen every week and find it very informative on how the Film Industry does in the cinema.

    My only complaint is someone needs to give Simone a proper mic set up. it sounds like a speakerphone speakerphone and it’s very difficult to hear other than that. It’s a great podcast. Keep up the great work.
