This past February, Chicago producers Imani Davis and Gemma Strausbaugh dropped the trailer for their upcoming podcast series, "Players: A Film Industry Podcast." The cohosts created the series with the objective of having a female-led, fun yet savvy podcast that dives in on topics centered around the business of film and all the key players within it. The episodes will ave a rotating schedule of discussions between the hosts, with guests, and panels of experts so they are able to share varying perspectives and hep their listeners gain a wealth of knowledge from multiple sources. They even set up a Players Podcast Hotline to keep the show interactive and community based!
Check out the trailer below and be sure to follow the show so you are notified when the first episode goes live on March 8th!
