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":"Ry Russo-Young: On Her Deeply Personal Documentary Nuclear Family and Her Indie Filmmaking Roots","slug":"ry-russo-young-on-her-deeply-personal-documentary-nuclear-family-and-her-indie-filmmaking-roots","published_at":"2026-02-03T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602/ry-russo-young-on-her-deeply-personal-documentary-nuclear-family-and-her-indie-filmmaking-roots","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/92a9cbd5-3ceb-4218-8fcf-ed06e6159f10.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/92a9cbd5-3ceb-4218-8fcf-ed06e6159f10.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"This week, Becky sits down with a true artist: filmmaker and documentarian Ry Russo-Young (Nuclear Family, Call Her Alex, BEFORE I FALL). Ry shares the backstory behind her deeply personal, Peabody-nominated documentary Nuclear Family—from the origins of the project to the complex, often therapeutic experience of making a film about the landmark legal case she found herself at the center of when she was just 9 years old. (This is mostly a spoiler-free conversation and Nuclear Family is available on HBO Max.) Ry is also an accomplished narrative filmmaker and reflects on her path—from her indie roots in New York City to making studio movies—and the creative influences that have shaped her work along the way.
