After a 6 year hiatus my podcast is back with a bang! The Pod focuses upon interviewing festival programmers and directors from all over the world, unpacking their programming processes and exploring in detail what they look for when selecting films to screen at their festival.
I’ve structured the episodes into four different sections, as you’ll see below.
They are all available on Apple and Spotify. Click here to listen to a sample and to dive into all of the episodes!
