Andy Ostroy was on the show last year with a documentary he directed, “Adrienne” about his late wife the actor Adrienne Shelley. Andy is back to discuss his new podcast “The Back Room” where he interviews folks from various parts of the public purview, including media folks, comedians, and others. You can find the podcast on your preferred podcast app (the same one you use to listen to Filmwax Radio, for instance).
