In The Seats with... - A podcast by David Voigt

The web series space is a shockingly vibrant place for satire....On this episode we are diving into the online space with a show that has been nominated for FOUR Canadian Screen Awards which are being handed out this week. It's shockingly true to life, and just incredibly funny...it's time for 'Tokens: Season 2'.Set in the world of actors cast by productions desperate to hit their diversity quotas, Season 2 of TOKENS pivots from the comedic overuse of On Call Casting, the democratic Uber-ization of diverse representation in Season 1, to a comedy about the hunger-gaming of casting and the need to stay ahead of the trend. Sammie Pang (Connie Wang), in her quest to find a meaningful role, quits On Call Casting, lands a Hollywood agent and, seemingly, the role of a lifetime. She soon realizes being on top isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Season 2 moves the idea of inclusion in front of the camera to the need for authenticity behind the camera.We had the pleasure of sitting down with two of the stars Connie Wand and Sedina Fiati to talk about the origins of the show, how it's evolved in Season 2, the surreal nature of being up for awards on a web series and so very much more....Tokens Season 2 is available for purchase on Apple/ITunes for a scant $5.99 and you can catch up with Season One over at tokensoncall.com
