The podcast will provide insight and explore the mechanics of awards season featuring interviews with awards industry professionals talking about the ins and outs of their particular roles in the machinery. No prognosticating or criticism, just a nuts and bolts discussion of how awards season works from the perspective of the featured guest that week. 

Confirmed guests include Katey Rich (Host of the Prestige Junkie podcast), Hugh Fink (Executive Producer of the Writers Guild Awards), Ray Costa (Music Awards Publicist and founder of Costa Communications), and Eric Durst (Emmy-winning VFX Supervisor). The first episode is already available in podcast apps.

Aldrich is a member of the PGA and TV Academy. Among his producer credits is the Wyatt Russell, Melanie Lynskey, and Alex Karpovsky comedy, Folk Hero & Funny Guy.
