Now in its second week, “The Boom” gives listeners an inside look at Atlanta’s thriving film industry from award-winning entertainment and culture reporter Jewel Wicker.

In a conversation with “All Things Considered,” Wicker said she’s been interested in the subject for a long time and hopes the podcast will appeal to industry insiders and fans alike.

The first episode was focused on the ongoing labor dispute and included interviews with Eric Goins and Mike Pniewski of SAG-AFTRA.
