I just listened to the David Simon interview with host Geri and i have never heard a more poorly done interview. It’s not a conversation. It’s ask a question and sit back while saying hmm & wow every 30 seconds, then ask next question. Clearly not her medium. Cringe.
Finding this super helpful as I write the script for my third short.
Thank you!!
Wonderful interviews! All the right questions are asked for an insightful, fascinating final podcast. Keep them coming!
Love these podcast as a new writer I get the insight to push and move forward with my projects
Great interview subjects and great interviewers. In depth discussions - it makes great use of the time - no mindless chit chat. Highly recommend it to all film fans as well as writers and students.
