I love your podcast. One critique: please raise your microphone levels; the volume is way too low.

Good interviews but the audio is so low, I often skip listening to this show because of it

I love and look forward to the content. This is an interesting, smart and informative podcast. But why is the sound quality so bad? You guys are in the heart of the entertainment business yet the audio often sounds like you’re recording in a tin can at the end of a long hallway. Please figure this out because right now these are often too painful to listen to.

I wish a podcast that has a group behind it like the WGA West would put a few bucks into production. Listening to tinny sound for an hour is fine for the folks starting out, but come on WGA! I also wish these hosts would prepare more, and talk less about themselves. Especially for the one host I’ve looked up one, and they (being vague not to call out anyone too intensely) don’t seem to have any significant screenwriting credits, so I’m not sure why they are a host? Anyway, it’s not too late to put a little money into this so a sound engineer can help, and a host can get a producer to prep them.

I love hearing Barry Jenkins speak about his processes!

Wow the interviewer. For night school is literally so rude and terrible ! She is so disrespectful.

Provides good insight into the life of writers with great interviews. The only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because Hilliard Guess is a horrible interviewer. He cusses for no reason (even if the guests are not cussing) so I can’t listen to the podcast in the car when my kids are there. And he can’t simply ask a question without throwing in some random remark.

Thank you for letting us get up close and personal with our writing-heroes. I enjoy the format of rotating your interviewers, too, so we always get fresh perspectives and ideas. I love this podcast!

I loved the interview with Peter Landesman. It reminded me of the guy(Brian Lamb?) on CSPAN. Great job John.

You get a mix of WGA nuts and bolts and great one on one interviews. Only twice monthly, hope the frequency increases.
