Whew. Making a script great doesn't cost any money? Gut punch. Literally took my breath away. Glad they're having fun, I guess.
I’ve been listening to this weekly podcast since 2023. This is the smartest group of folks who talk about the real problems with the entertainment and marketing biz. Love you guys!

I began listening to The Ankler Podcast a few months ago and enjoyed it enough to listen to it occasionally. However, when I heard Lesley Goldberg had resurfaced after TV’s Top Five, I was stoked to hear her on the Ankler. Now, I never miss a show & always look forward to when the next episode drops because of Lesley. She’s a great reporter, sharp as a tack, funny, compassionate & ran my favorite podcast. The Ankler scored when they brought in Lesley.
