This isn't just a podcast record.

We're not here to make content about the flashiest new camera. We're here to sit in it — with you, shoulder to shoulder, gear racks in the background, real talk on the mic.

The Prep Bay exists because DFW's camera crews deserve a room of their own. A place to swap war stories, talk shop, and hear from the people actually building this industry from the ground up — not from a green room three states away.

Episode 02, we're pulling up a chair for Ryan Schorman of MID49.

Why we do it here

No studio. No stage. No separation between "guest" and "crowd."

We record live, right in our prep bay — the same space where orders get loaded and days actually start. Because the best conversations in this business have always happened here, not on a panel.

You're not an audience member. You're in the room. Get a question in. You'll definitely get to talk to Ryan after — no velvet rope, no "we're out of time."

The details

📍 Location: Our Prep Bay 🎙️ Guest: Ryan Schorman — MID49 🎟️ Capacity: 35 spots. That's it. That's the whole room.

We're keeping it small on purpose. This only works if it stays close — if you can actually hear the person next to you, catch up with the AC you haven't seen since your last show, and put a face to the DP you've only ever texted.

This is your department too.

We want to be part of your story. We want you to be part of ours.

So come prep with us.

🔒 35 seats. First come, first geared up.
