Help bring more in-person writer interviews!
Though you may see ads in the podcasts, these do not cover the operational costs, including hosting, web server, equipment, and the gas and time it takes to do in-person interviews.
I am dedicated to releasing weekly interviews with Hollywood creators and showrunners during the Coronavirus quarantine; your support will assist with the ongoing costs, and once the stay-at-home order is lifted, it will help me bring much more frequent in-person interviews to you.
Live Video Switcher / H264 encoder by end of quarantine
Blackmagic Design recently released a live video switcher / H264 encoder that is a game changer for live interviews. It will completely eliminate the need to edit and compress podcasts, which is a process that takes up to 8 hours per episode.
This would translate into being able to spend a lot more time interviewing, and releasing episodes at a much higher frequency (while at the same time increasing the quality).
