Hollywood, but make it real. Warm, 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

  • Such a great podcast!

    This podcast is AMAZING! Becky is so warm and relatable, and such a good listener. Her rapport with her guests is so charming, especially because she knows most of them already. Even if I don't recognize the guest's name right away, I put on the episode and quickly realize the show or movie they've been in (or written for, etc.) is one that I know (and usually love) and the behind-the-scenes stories are so interesting and fun to hear. This pod is also super Gen X / elder Millennial coded - highl... more

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

    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.
