Paper Crane Productions Launches 'So, How'd You Get Here?' Podcast, Providing Listeners an Inside Look at Industry Come Ups

LOS ANGELES, April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Paper Crane Productions announced the launch of the "So, How'd You Get Here?" podcast with hosts Tony DeFrancesco and Angelo Restaino. The podcast launched with their first guest, actor/comedian Dana Carvey, and focuses on the come-up stories of industry talent, executives, and leaders.

The team behind the podcast includes DeFrancesco and Restaino, on-air talent and producers; Ryan Cheevers, producer and digital developer; Robin Pabello, cinematographer; and Samuel Lin, colorist. 

"So, How'd You Get Here?" features A-list guests and other industry professionals, who hustled their way to becoming experts within the entertainment business: both in front and behind the camera. Set in one of the most unique studios in L.A., DeFrancesco and Restaino spend most of the hour-plus show building conversations around one simple question, "so, how did you get here?" The rest of the time is left for hilarious, over-the-top, and often touching and inspiring stories. 

"We wanted to create a show that was both entertaining and intimate. Dialoguing with guests about the storms they've weathered requires a deliberately slower pace. Our first guest, Dana Carvey, told us he wasn't really sure he was going to make it. It took more than a decade of struggle and rejection before he finally broke through, and that's what we're here to talk about," said Restaino, On-Air Talent/Producer. 

The lineup includes: 

• Dana Carvey (Actor/Comedian) 
• Claudia Lyon (Executive VP of Talent & Casting at CBS)
• Tim Bagley (Actor/Comedian)
• Michelle Lovitt (Celebrity Personal Trainer)
• Keo Motsepe (Professional Dancer, "Dancing with the Stars")
• Todd Tucker & Martin Astles (SFX/Makeup Artists)

Episodes drop every Thursday at 5:30 p.m. PST.

ABOUT ANGELO RESTAINO
Born in a quiet Washington town, Angelo discovered his love for movies at a very young age.

Yet it was through these intimate relationships that he found success.
