    Best podcast for inspiration and motivation
    I never can get enough of listening to everyone’s journey. It’s so motivating and inspiring. So many different stories and everyone’s path is so different. I can’t tell you how many movies I’ve gone and watched after hearing them talk about it. The Oscar specials are great too. I love watching and listening or visa versa. You really get a different way of seeing the talents.
  • AKSMAKEUP14
    Inspired and entertained!
    I’ve been a special effects makeup artist in IATSE for only four great years, I got in the union when I was 22 and wanted this to be my career since I was 14. I wish so badly that this podcast existed back then when I was a kid, but am so happy that this platform exists for young people that want to purse a career in hair and makeup in film and television. Every episode is so informative and inspiring, and Jaime is an excellent host. A great podcast for people in every stage of our industry!
  • Chris_Johnson

  • Becky637282861
    Favorite hands down
    This podcast has been my ultimate favorite since it first launched during pandemic. It kept my love of working in film/tv going when there was nothing going on. It inspires me every time I listen to it. I’m constantly picking up new tricks, or ideas to bring to work. Sometimes we feel like our work or job can be insignificant, and this reminds me daily we’re working with purpose.
  • Bona and Team Capsho
    Great show!

Every episode carries a storytelling charm that pulls you into the intricacies and artistry of costume creation, making it an enriching listen for anyone with a creative bent.

    Behind-the-scenes look of film
    I am fascinated by the people who make favorite actors and sets looks so good despite the environment’s conditions. I want to know my favorite characters look like they didn’t break a sweat despite working in the Mojave Desert in July.
