It’s life in Hollywood as I visit the vivacious team of Drake & Gelder - actually entertainment journalist Grae Drake and actor Steve Gelder - talking about all things showbiz and working together in the entertainment industry. Both discuss what brought them to Los Angeles: Steve and his stand up comedy, acting (Mixed Nuts; The Interview); and filmmaking; and Grae working as a movie reviewer for CNN, Rotten Tomatoes  and MovieFone. Find out about their take on the "art of being creative", the changing landscape of Hollywood during the pandemic; their unique movie review skills (watch out best worst films!) and Grae's very cool youtube channel, The Grae Area. Enjoy!

About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Join me as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk all about media. Could be radio, television, audiobooks, music, film, voiceovers - if they've worked in media, we're talkin'! Unscripted and nearly always entertaining, each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz; from where they started to how it's going. Join us in the studio where drinks are always on ice; music + media are the conversation starters. New episodes every other Tuesday. Thanks so much for listening! - Donna
