Everyone Turns Left During Rush Hour
This one is for the film fanatics; Tricha and Geoff walk through what a day on set looks like, and what the word “production” really means.

Unprofessional Help
We go wildly off-script in this one: filmmaker and podcast host extraordinaire Sophie Webb presents a series of questions (found on Reddit) for Tricha to answer. This is an entirely no-holds-barred conversation, where they discuss race, dating scams, and more. The tagline? “Here for the drama.”
