I know we now live in a culture of everything requiring an NDA, but I'm curious to know your thoughts on being required to interview for a job blind? Signing an NDA and not being sent any information in advance of the interview, instead being told they'll tell you in the room... In my opinion, this leaves no time for preparation and requires applicants to have to think on their feet throughout which potentially doesn't offer them the best chance at presenting themselves. Thoughts?

Hey everyone, I’ve been seeing the Katie and Peter tv clips resurface on TikTok and crazy that they aired some of the scenes (Pete pulling Kate’s hair?)

I want to know what was the worst thing you’ve ever seen on set working as a runner, that was so bad it didn’t end up getting aired?

Newish to freelancing. recently pencilled for a bunch of dates over autumn to mix a daytime tv show. The post producer at a London facility two weeks later then asked for my rates and i quoted £450 p/d (roughly in line with bectu rate card for
Unscripted mixing) - I haven’t heard back in nearly a week. Is this a typical tactic to get me to lower my rates, or I scared them off and they went with someone cheaper?

Is it too late to reach out and salvage this if you think this is the case? Like a lot of people, I need the money, but want to keep it somewhat dignified
