ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Intermission Podcast, produced by The Cinegogue, features conversations with filmmakers, artists, musicians, and creators of all kinds. We record in person in Silverlake, Los Angeles, with virtual options available. New episodes drop every Monday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The conversations aren’t academic or craft-heavy - they’re about perspective, memory, and personal connection. We explore how personality, upbringing, and life experience shape someone’s taste in film. For some guests, it’s the first time they’ve truly reflected on their own preferences, and that introspection is part of the show.

Each episode includes a deep dive into one film, a personal favorite or their latest project, so the conversation goes beyond surface-level commentary. Guests should feel relaxed, heard, and encouraged to think out loud. By the end, we hope listeners feel inspired to walk into a movie theater and experience a film for themselves.

OUTSIDE OF THE PODCAST

Megan Braun

Intermission isn’t just a podcast.

Hosted by Megan Braun, Intermission is known for longer-form conversations, getting to know guests through the films they love. Beyond the podcast, we’ve moderated q&a's and created film-focused experiences, all aimed at bringing filmmakers and audiences closer. Megan is also a graphic designer who has collaborated with films on posters, merch, and social templates, making The Cinegogue × your project a potential creative partnership.

If you'd like to work with the Intermission team for your next film screening, festival, or other project, let us know!
