Hollywood, but make it real. Fun, authentic conversations with the people who make the stuff we love — and the friends I’ve been lucky enough to make along the way.

I’ve spent the past 20 years as a Hollywood producer having what’s known as “general meetings” — one-on-one sit-downs with actors, writers, and filmmakers. These personal and creative conversations have always been my favorite part of ... more

  • Carole Lombard to play Becky in the movie!

    GENERAL MEETING is the kind of hangout that feels like Billy Wilder returned to get some ragged podcasts about Hollywood into shape! Breezy, ebullient, and evanescent, Becky wisecracks with the effortless charm of Rosalind Russell on His Girl Friday. A smartly superior producer and executive, Becky is the rare insider who is both genuinely smart and delightfully relaxed. Listening feels like sitting on backlot golf cart while the crew shoots The Apartment. Hollywood would be a whole lot better i... more

  • The show we didn’t know we needed…so much!!!

    Such an awesomely binge-worthy podcast. Becky is so relatable and her guests always strike the perfect balance between vulnerable authenticity and dishing celebrity BTS you won’t hear anywhere else. A true gem of a show.

  • So good

    Becky is such a natural interviewer and story teller. Funny and inviting, she draws out the best from each of her guests, drawing you in to their courageous and uplifting stories about being in “the biz” —for me, it really played a role in humanizing the people in the world of show business and shows a side that we wouldn’t have access to otherwise. Becky is clearly a brilliant woman and I just love listening to this podcast.

  • Make this podcast your weekly appointment!!!!

    Becky gets it. As a Gen Xer, I love how she brings sharp insight, humor, and authenticity to conversations that reflect both where we came from and where we are now. She captures the nuances of today’s world while keeping that cool, creative edge that makes her interviews so engaging. Every episode feels like sitting down with an old friend who just happens to have the smartest, funniest people at the table. This podcast is a gem.
