    Ep 4: 30 Years of Sesame & Beyond: Frank Campagna on Storytelling, Reinvention, and Autism Advocacy
    Aug 18 2025
    In Episode 4 of TV Crew Talk, Howie sits down with Frank Campagna, a 2x Emmy Award-winning producer, director, and creative leader who spent over 30 years shaping children’s television at Sesame Workshop. From starting out in 1994 to leading teams across studio shoots, animation, and international productions, Frank’s story is one of constant reinvention. But what makes his journey truly powerful is how his personal life shaped his professional path.

    When his son was diagnosed with autism, Frank found a new purpose in creating content for Sesame’s autism initiative, blending his craft with his calling.
    Now stepping into the next chapter as a freelancer, writer, and advocate, Frank shares lessons on creativity, resilience, and the heart behind every project. 🎙️
    Tune in for a conversation about storytelling, leadership, and why the best productions are always about more than what happens on camera.

    EP 1: How a Rabbi, a Livestream, and a Pandemic Held a Community Together
    Jul 28 2025
    In the premiere of Season 2, Howie sits down with the one and only Rabbi Brian for a conversation that goes far beyond community. When COVID shut down physical spaces, synagogues faced a new challenge: how to create connection without a building. What followed was a creative, emotional, and often chaotic journey into livestreaming, remote faith, and the unseen heroes behind the scenes. This episode dives into:
    • How live production became a spiritual tool
    • What faith looks like through a lens
    • The challenge of making people feel seen from a distance
    It’s honest, heartfelt, and surprisingly funny.
    You’ll walk away thinking differently about the role of tech, storytelling, and purpose, no matter what industry you’re in. 🎧
