What a great peek behind the curtain on some of my favorite shows. It’s really interesting to see how shows like Love Island come together. And Madelyn does it all in such a real way that it doesn’t feel like promotional BTS.
Not only is Madelyn a brilliant producer herself, but she expertly guides these conversations in a way that really reveals some interesting anecdotes. A must listen!
This podcast has been such a fun listen! It’s so cool hearing the perspectives of those behind the scenes of my favorite shows. I really appreciate the hosts unique questions and it’s evident that she does her research before each episode. She also has a great hosting voice! I’ll definitely continue to listen.
added this to my weekly podcast rotation! Love the questions Madelyn asks and the variety of guests she has on!!!
So fun hearing the behind the scenes and stories you never knew about some of your favorite shows.
