What podcasts dive into how films are made by editors and cinematographers?
#1
I’m trying to find a new podcast that really gets into the nuts and bolts of how movies are actually made, but everything I find is either just reviews or interviews with directors. I want to hear from the editors, sound designers, and cinematographers about their specific craft.

I've been chasing this in podcasts for months. Most behind the scenes stuff just scratches the surface or interviews directors. I did land one episode where a re-recording mixer walked through room tone, mic choices, and how a single take gets reshaped in post; that detail stuck with me, but it was a rare hit.

Try looking for episodes labeled craft breakdowns and make sure they name editors or sound designers in the guest list. Some shows also post transcripts or time stamps for the craft segments, which makes it easier to skim for the real nuts and bolts.

Is the real problem that folks who do the hands on work aren’t comfortable talking in public, or that this format doesn’t invite deep dives?

I started a tiny rolling list of episodes that actually go into technique, not just process; nothing definitive, but a few sound design and color grading chats stood out for me, and I kept a note about a trick like how they balance ambience in a room.
