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":"Rachel Lee Goldenberg: On Swiped, Valley Girl, Unpregnant, and the Most Valuable Tool a Director Can Have","slug":"rachel-lee-goldenberg-on-swiped-valley-girl-unpregnant-and-the-most-valuable-tool-a-director-can-have","published_at":"2026-03-17T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602/rachel-lee-goldenberg-on-swiped-valley-girl-unpregnant-and-the-most-valuable-tool-a-director-can-have","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/b0a62b5c-7a62-462a-8a04-02bc7477e5ad.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/b0a62b5c-7a62-462a-8a04-02bc7477e5ad.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"This week, Becky welcomes one of the hardest-working and coolest filmmakers she knows to the pod: writer/director Rachel Lee Goldenberg (Swiped, Valley Girl). Rachel shares how being thrown into the deep end of film production right out of college led to her directing eight movies before turning 30—not to mention one starring comedy legends Will Ferrell and Kristin Wiig. She and Becky also go behind the scenes of the labor of love that was Rachel’s musical remake of the ’80s classic Valley Girl for MGM—with Becky having a front-row seat to the action as her husband, Matt, produced the film. They then dive into Rachel’s latest film, Swiped, inspired by Whitney Wolfe Herd’s journey to creating Bumble—and why its themes felt so personal—before Rachel reveals the movie that means more to her than any other.
