France3 years ago - Still One of The Best!
They don't do as many episodes as they once did, but Doug, Brent, and Robert still do amazing work on the Season Pass Podcast. The episodes with Eddie Sotto were a perfect example. The podcast archive includes so many cool, inspiring conversations with the legends of the industry. The Season Pass is an inspiration and required listening for anyone looking to work behind the scenes.
