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":"Natalie Zea: On Justified, The Detour, and the Wild Reality of Being a Working Actor Right Now","slug":"natalie-zea-on-justified-the-detour-and-the-wild-reality-of-being-a-working-actor-right-now","published_at":"2026-05-26T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602/natalie-zea-on-justified-the-detour-and-the-wild-reality-of-being-a-working-actor-right-now","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/3620a5e9-fe73-44fa-8a08-f6704b433364.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/3620a5e9-fe73-44fa-8a08-f6704b433364.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"This week, Becky welcomes her friend and fellow Gen X music queen, actress and writer Natalie Zea (Justified, La Brea) to the pod. Natalie opens up about the reality of being a working actor right now, and the conversation gets very candid — in the best possible way. Natalie is her honest, funny, and vulnerable self as she shares how drastically the business has changed since she started out, how that's personally affected her, and what it really means to navigate a career when the industry you built your life around is going through such a tumultuous time. Natalie and Becky also dig into what writing has meant to her during this chapter, her desire to do more comedy, and — of course — which Tori Amos album she would bring to a deserted island.
