Host Fred Opie Interviews Show Runner Jared Andrukanis. His credits include working for Zero Point Zero Productions on the show Points Unknown with host Anthony Bourdain, which is one of the few food shows I watched. This interview is a must for people who want to enter into the production industry from someone who has worked on Emmy award making shows. The principles of getting in the door and climbing the industry ladder are universal and when it comes to producing it's not about where you went to film school.
