The Film Student Podcast

A couple weeks back, I was asked to help man the Harold Ramis Film School booth at C2E2 and I decided to do a live recording of the podcast there. My boothmates Bethany Berg (who you may remember from Episode 22), Bria Schultz, and Kurt Jolly all make guest appearances on this episode and we talk about all sorts of things: costumes, crushes, and even customer service! 

Thank you to Bethany, Bria, Kurt, and Rachael for joining me, and to the Harold Ramis Film School, and The Second City Staff for their help. The song on this week’s episode was “All In” by The Great Heights Band. You can find more of their music now on iTunes and Spotify! This show was recorded and edited by me, Tony Lazzeroni.
