  • Warm, smart, wonderful

    I’ve long enjoyed listening to Simon on the Film Stories podcast, and he has a rare skill to be able to talk on his own with grace, warmth, wit and smarts. But it’s an especially joy to hear him team up with folks as erudite and warm on this podcast – every minute a joy.
