The HGTV and Max On Set With podcast explores the sets and world building of beloved films and TV shows produced by Warner Bros. Discovery through conversations with art directors and set designers. Each episode highlights a different iconic set from film or television. Through a constellation of voices (set decorators, production designers and directors) our audience gets a first-hand account of the creation of the environments that became a part of our collective, global iconography — and actionable tips to bring the power of scenic design into our listeners’ own spaces.
Also, go back and listen to the Trade Secrets episodes. It's a podcast that gives listeners a VIP pass into the rooms of the world’s best storytellers. You’ll hear from actors and directors as they conduct intimate interviews with each other about not only their craft but their crazy life adventures.
