Fun, authentic conversations with the people who make the stuff we love — and the friends I’ve been lucky enough to make along the way. I’ve spent the past 20 years as a Hollywood producer having what’s known as “general meetings” — one-on-one sit-downs with actors, writers, and filmmakers. These personal and creative conversations have always been my favorite part of the job — the moments when the glossy version of Hollywood drops away and you connect with the real person across from you. So now, I’m bringing that to life as a podcast. Each week on General Meeting with Becky Sloviter , I sit down with smart, funny, and talented friends — actors and writers who have made us laugh and cry, and filmmakers who inspire us — for real conversations about creativity, connection, and everything in between. My hope is that these chats will help us all feel a little more connected — and a little less alone. Because we’re all going through it these days — but as the iconic Penny Lane says in my third favorite movie of all time: “Famous people are just more interesting.” Welcome to General Meeting with Becky Sloviter.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T16:21:08.728568+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602"},"episode":{"title":"Jake Shane: 'Therapuss' on Netflix, His Broadway Debut, and the Life of a Die-Hard Swiftie","slug":"jake-shane-therapuss-on-netflix-his-broadway-debut-and-the-life-of-a-die-hard-swiftie","published_at":"2026-05-05T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602/jake-shane-therapuss-on-netflix-his-broadway-debut-and-the-life-of-a-die-hard-swiftie","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/ebc03562-9a12-4e1f-b111-b41f0abedd8a.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/ebc03562-9a12-4e1f-b111-b41f0abedd8a.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"It's a real high-five the mirror kind of episode on General Meeting this week, as Becky welcomes actor, comedian, influencer and wildly successful podcaster Jake Shane to the pod. Since Jake and Becky met last summer on the set of his first film, Wishful Thinking — where he has a scene-stealing role alongside Maya Hawke and Lewis Pullman — a lot has happened, and they dig into all of it as they sit with their Lola blankets, a shared obsession they owe to Jake's best friend and the world's nicest human, Kaia Gerber. Jake starred on Broadway in Simon Rich's All Out alongside Ray Romano, Jenny Slate, and Nicholas Braun; his hit podcast 'Therapuss with Jake Shane' was picked up by Netflix; he's developing a comedy series based on his life at Hulu —and not for nothing, Wishful Thinking won the SXSW Film Festival and was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics for a global theatrical release. Becky also seizes the rare opportunity of having a fellow die-hard Swiftie on the pod and they go deep on The Life of a Showgirl, bond over getting the same secret song at different Eras Tour shows, swap their Top 5 favorite Taylor Swift songs, and delight in this especially happy time in the life of their queen.
