Last to Leave is a film & tv podcast hosted by Zoey Danielson and Heather Elaine Abbott. Those last to leave set typically aren’t the first to be interviewed about their work and the show seeks to share their stories.
Over the first three seasons, the show has featured interviews with creatives like Paul Rogers (Editor | Everything Everywhere All At Once), Helen Huang (Costume Designer | Station Eleven, Beef), Ita O’Brien (Intimacy Coordinator | I May Destroy You, Normal People), Katherine Jakeways (Creator/Writer/Executive Producer | The Buccaneers), and Joanna Naugle (Editor | The Bear, Molli and Max in the Future).
The fourth season is premiered in April 2025 and new episodes are released every two weeks.
