Real Talk with Sadie

by Sadie Ingan

Real Talk with Sadie is a podcast born from my deep love of film and the magic that happens behind the scenes. I created this space to celebrate the brilliant creatives who bring stories to life! From cinematographers, costume designers, directors, editors, composers, makeup artists, and rising actors. I go beyond surface-level questions to uncover how my guests got started, what fuels their creativity, and what they’re passionate about. I’ve had the honor of interviewing cast and crew from SINNERS, The Last of Us, Ted Lasso, Mad Max: Furiosa, The Fall Guy, and more! If you love storytelling and the people who make it happen, this show is for you!
