This week we are joined by a fantastic human, Ben Whitmore. He tells us about his job as a technical director and how he ended up in that career. It was so fun to hear about the interesting details that go into building a set. Ben also shares with us what it's like to work with the same company for years (a somewhat rare position in the industry) and even has some fun stories about multiple Mandy Moores!

*Apologies for some sound glitches, we had internet difficulties during recording.
