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":"Zoë Chao: On Let's Have Kids!, Female Friendship, Pregnancy, and That Unforgettable SNL Moment","slug":"zo-chao-on-let-s-have-kids-female-friendship-pregnancy-and-that-unforgettable-snl-moment","published_at":"2026-04-21T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602/zo-chao-on-let-s-have-kids-female-friendship-pregnancy-and-that-unforgettable-snl-moment","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/f0e472d7-0a77-47bb-b792-4882a8254de3.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/f0e472d7-0a77-47bb-b792-4882a8254de3.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"Recorded live at the South By Southwest Film Festival last month, Becky welcomes one of her favorite people on the planet to the podcast: actress Zoë Chao (The Afterparty, Party Down), who is also one of the stars of Let's Have Kids! — a film Becky may have mentioned once or twice by now. The press tour practically writes itself: Zoë is expecting her first child this month, making this the most perfectly timed sit-down imaginable. The two reminisce about the joy of making Let's Have Kids! together — the nuances and complexities of female friendship, pregnancy and motherhood, and the chemistry Zoë shared with her co-stars Karen Gillan, Max Greenfield and the one and only Mary Steenburgen.  But first, Becky takes Zoë back to a moment neither of them will ever forget: their well-timed visit to Saturday Night Live in 2024 - and the unexpected guest who left them both in tears.
