Hello podcast fans. It is I, Bruce Valanche. For over 25 years, I worked on the Academy Awards,

so you didn't have to. In that time, I've seen and heard things that should not be seen,

or heard or certainly felt. And now, for the first time, I'm sharing all my behind-the-scenes stories and first-hand knowledge

about the Oscars, the blood, the sweat, the tears, the slap, all the things you didn't see.

So join me as I use humor and insight to break down the Oscar Awards of the past to explain how

and why your favorite movie didn't win,

why some actors and some directors had to fire their agents,

and how the whole process works or sometimes doesn't work.

This is the Oscars.

What were they thinking?

Available wherever you get podcasts.

You got it. You got it. We don't flaunt it. Dear Quinkle, we're here as you know,

to answer your questions. Let's give it a go.

Yeah, I'm Adam Velver, and you're getting a new episode with a new theme song of Dear Crinkle,

America's favorite advice minisode, number one with a bullet, I'm told. We've got Paula Poundstone.

We've got Tony andita Hull, but we also have the woman of the hour. Bonnie Burns,

Paula's manager, our friend Captain Crinkle, ready to answer your questions. Yep, it's me. Captain

Crinkle, ready to answer your questions. And Adam, don't mean to contradict you, but we are

number one and climbing the charts.

Yeah.

Not possible.

I think so.
