Open Walkie is a fun hobby podcast hosted by Tony Bartalini and Chris "Ragz" Ragozzino. We want to hear your ridiculous freelancing story. Our guests are all freelancers, (primarily film and television) the self-employed, or anyone who doesn't do the typical nine to five. Everyone has their own unique beginning, interesting hobbies, and some type of end goal. We get into all of that and have a fun time doing it by keeping most of the serious stuff in your pocket. This is a podcast trying to keep each episode around a half hour while keeping it real without any conversation edits. We play what you say. Open Walkie is recorded in a studio basement in front of a live deaf cat.
