As host of the podcast, Pratt says “I’m excited for the audience to hear from our guests, we recently interviewed Bruce Beresford and his advice for actors was just incredible alongside some of his first hand stories of directing Ashley Judd, Robert Duvall and Morgan Freeman.
Jessica Ross, a PR powerhouse, host, and actress also features in season one and adds "The format is much more progressive than current podcasts. I like their objective of both entertaining and educating the audience. Right now there tends to be many misconceptions about Hollywood, especially for actors. This podcast is giving listeners up-to-date and direct information from Hollywood.
“I am delighted to be a part of Conversation Hollywood alongside such notable talents in film, tv and fashion. I look forward to the success of season one and hopefully many more after”.
