About this listen

Hollywood, but make it real. 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.

  • Shawn Simmons: On Wayne, Eenie Meanie and the Shared Lunacy of Boston and Philadelphia Sports Fans

    Shawn Simmons: On Wayne, Eenie Meanie and the Shared Lunacy of Boston and Philadelphia Sports Fans
    Jan 13 2026

    This week, Becky welcomes acclaimed writer/director Shawn Simmons, who also happens to be the creator of one of her all-time favorite TV shows, Wayne. They chat about Shawn’s journey from his bootstrap upbringing in Brockton, Massachusetts to landing on the Paramount lot right after college, the life-changing experience of making his masterpiece, Wayne - and the surreal moment when he found out the network was canceled (not the show…the network!) before he could make a second season, and what it was like directing his first big-budget feature film last year, Eenie Meanie. Plus, Becky and Shawn bond over the shared lunacy of Boston and Philadelphia sports fans—and why they’re both strangely grateful for that specific brand of insanity.
