The Producers Lounge, an interview style podcast with media creators from around the world; an intimate discussion with storytellers about the craft and art of producing, but in a laid back and relaxed atmosphere, with a martini in one hand, and a cigar in another. The Producers Lounge podcast is back with season 3. You can follow us on any of the social media links down below in the description of this video, or go directly to Greater and Grander dot com, to find out more. We’ll be having independent producers, television producers, writer-showrunners, you name it!
