Revit Interview Questions and Expert Answers: The Ultimate Guide for 2025

If you’re preparing for a Revit interview—whether as a fresher, architect, BIM professional, or structural engineer—having a solid grasp of common questions and their best answers can set you apart. Revit, a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) software by Autodesk, is widely used across the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries.

This guide covers the most frequently asked Revit interview questions, categorized by experience level and role.

Basic Revit Interview Questions (For Beginners)

1. What is Revit? Answer: Revit is a BIM software developed by Autodesk for architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, designers, and contractors. It enables users to design a building and structure and its components in 3D, annotate the model with 2D drafting elements, and access building information from the model’s database.

2. What are the key differences between CAD and Revit? Answer:

CAD is primarily 2D drawing-based.

Revit is 3D and BIM-focused.

CAD focuses on drawing lines and shapes, while Revit works with real-world elements like walls, windows, and doors.

Revit allows for data-driven workflows, which CAD does not.

3. What are families in Revit? Answer: Families are components used to build a model in Revit. They can be system families (walls, floors), loadable families (furniture, fixtures), or in-place families (custom components made for specific projects).

4. Explain the term 'Workset' in Revit. Answer: Worksets are a way to divide a Revit project into manageable pieces, especially for team collaboration. Each user can check out a workset and work on it independently.

Intermediate Revit Interview Questions

5. What is the difference between Instance and Type parameters? Answer:

Instance parameters affect a single component only.

Type parameters affect all components of that type in the project.

6. How do you manage collaboration in Revit? Answer: Through Revit Worksharing and tools like BIM 360, multiple users can work on the same project simultaneously. Worksets and syncing help coordinate changes.

7. How do you create a custom family in Revit? Answer:

Go to File > New > Family.

Choose an appropriate family template.

Model the geometry using tools in the Family Editor.

Define parameters and save/load the family into your project.

Advanced Revit Interview Questions

8. What is the purpose of View Templates in Revit? Answer: View templates standardize the appearance and visibility settings of views. They ensure consistency across multiple views and save time during documentation.

9. How does Revit handle phasing? Answer: Phasing allows users to manage construction stages (existing, demolition, new construction). Each element can be assigned to a specific phase, which is reflected in schedules and views.

10. What is the difference between linked and imported CAD files in Revit? Answer:

Linked CAD files are referenced into Revit and updated when the source changes.

Imported files are embedded directly and do not reflect source file changes.

Role-Specific Questions

For Architects: Q: How do you manage design options in Revit? Answer: Revit allows the use of design options to explore multiple design solutions within the same project. This is useful for client presentations and internal reviews.

For Structural Engineers: Q: How do you use Revit for structural analysis? Answer: Revit Structure can be used in conjunction with analysis tools like Robot Structural Analysis. Structural elements can be exported with analytical data for simulation.

For MEP Engineers: Q: What are systems in Revit MEP? Answer: Systems define logical connections between MEP components. For example, a duct system connects diffusers, ducts, and air handling units in one network.

Tips for Revit Interviews

Be prepared to demonstrate your skills live, often through a short modeling task.

Showcase your knowledge of BIM workflows, not just Revit as software.

Highlight any experience with collaboration tools like Autodesk BIM 360 or Navisworks.

Mention real-world projects you've contributed to.

Conclusion

Revit is more than just modeling—it's about smart collaboration, data management, and precision in design. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, being prepared for both technical and conceptual questions will help you succeed in any Revit interview.

Unlock Winning Interview Secrets: Answers That Wow

[savethegrishaverse]

Here is the Transcript to the Questions Answered by Eric Heisserer!

Recently, we were very fortunate that Shadow and Bone showrunner Eric Heisserer agreed to answer some fan questions! Below is the transcript of the screenshots that have been previously shared—not an entirely new interview. The transcript in this format should be much more accessible and convenient, particularly for anyone using a screen reader.

To make it easier to read through Eric’s responses, we’ve nested his answers below coordinating questions.

Okay, taking these one at a time -- because some of these will have very long answers, and I may have to return at later intervals to answer them: (note: questions will be in bold)

"I'd like to know if there's a way to liberate the pre-written scripts if Netflix doesn't plan on using them" - Asked by Christian Thalmann, the creator of the Fjerdan language.

"There is a way to liberate the Crows scripts from Netflix, yes, and in fact that would be part of the buyout for another streamer when acquiring the rights to Leigh's novels. It would be a package deal."

"In my view, "The Crows" have the potential to revitalize the Grishaverse. Unlike "Shadow And Bone," this new show could rely less on elaborate visual effects and offer a fresh narrative angle. Heist-themed shows are currently in high demand, adding to its appeal. Am I mistaken in thinking that our focus should primarily be on "The Crows"? The likelihood of "Shadow And Bone" returning seems slim, but l've always believed that "The Crows" had a greater chance of success." - asked by fellow fan Joleen

The focus on the Crows is helpful in two ways -- first, those scripts are written, which lets us get a running start at production, and second, just from casual analysis of book sales, it's far more popular worldwide than other Grishaverse titles. So it will be a bigger draw for viewers.

The trap though is the cost. It's more grounded than S&B, sure, but the Ice Court is a unique location that either requires a really costly set build, or set extensions and VFX work to make it look authentic, which means nearly every shot of the heist once our crew gets there could be a VFX shot.

My guess is the budget would be on par with S2 of S&B.

"If/when the spinoff is back (finger crossed) was there anything he had planned that would completely surprised, for good reasons obviously, the audience. And we should hold our breath for that twist/turn?" - asked by fellow fan Rti

​​Yes, there is a surprise or two in the Crows spinoff season, but overall it's as close to the novel as we could make it. And Leigh's novel is such an amazing story with natural cliffhangers that work as episode "out" moments, etc. I think the biggest move we made was to feature every single Crow's backstory to go with their episode. So that was fun/sad/exciting.

"What was the difficulties you mentioned about filming Season 2 in that Reddit comment? Don't want to sound negative but what went wrong?!" - asked by fellow fan Mitra

S2 kept throwing challenges at us, and it started long before we got to production. Like months earlier, when we learned the location we used for the Little Palace in S1 was closed to us due to the pandemic. So right there we lost out on a ton of S&S scenes, because it wouldn't be a match. But we also had written a compelling side arc for Ivan and Fedyor in S2, these two Grisha trapped on either side of the civil war. Each of them played a big role in the story, but Simon (Ivan) had a feature film that overlapped with our schedule and couldn't move, which meant we lost him. So Daegan worked to revise the season keeping Fedyor and leaving Ivan as most likely dead from the end of S1. He was Kirigan's right-hand man for the season. But poor Julian caught COVID just when we were to shoot out most of his scenes, and after trying to make the schedule work, we had to come to the brutal truth that there wasn't a way to keep Fedyor in the story. Our only option was to bring him in at like episode 8, which would've been too little, too late.

COVID continued to be a monster all through production, requiring us to juggle schedules and miss out on days, and it was madness for the cast, who had to pivot with almost no notice whenever someone was ill and quarantined. This isn't unique to our show of course -- it happened with everyone. It's just a challenge.

Beyond that, we had been given the go to write a special standalone story, The Demon in the Wood. This would have been released on its own around Christmas, like a BBC special but for Netflix, and would help bridge seasons 1 and 2 by showing a little of what Kirigan was doing before we see him in 52, and also provide more character context, etc. Christina Strain wrote that and did great work adapting Leigh's short story. But it never went the distance.

There was a lot more to 52 as well, scenes and side stories and little interactions that were lost due to budget or time restrictions. Again, not unique to our show, but agonizing all the same, since what you get is not what we had written, or in some cases even shot.

I'm incredibly proud of the cast and the team, and Daegan did the heaviest lifting while I was off finishing the Crows writing room. But we had a lot more thrown at us.

"How long was the sizzle reel ready to go but he had to keep it secret?" - Asked by members of the Discord Team

That sizzle reel was put together about four months before the second season dropped.

"I would love to know his perspective on the impact of streaming on storytelling. Would we have had to launch a campaign like this 10-15 years ago for a show like this? What are the main pain points when it comes to streaming models & telling unique, diverse stories?" - asked by fellow fan Acorn_Bri

Streaming is a challenge to serialized storytelling in that it looks at 'content often with a different agenda and uses metrics that can take a creative issue and exacerbate it. Like in broadcast, if viewership and thus ad revenue has slightly declined, the show will need to find a way to make their 22 or 13 episodes on a proportionally smaller budget. What is not done is reduce episode order. But if a streaming series underperforms or doesn't meet expectations, and the streamer doesn't cancel it outright, the go-to budget reduction idea is to reduce episode order for the next season.

When you just have 8 episodes and continue to deal with notes to compress, pace up, or omit for what you'd scripted for a longer season, reducing further to six or four episodes is exhausting.

This happens due to a slide in autonomy from what the showrunner position had been. What the chatter on the picket lines revealed to us is that most showrunners today don't get to see their own show's budget, and thus don't get the freedom to make budgetary decisions that could better protect the story they're telling. More and more, showrunners not at a legacy network aren't the final say or at times even involved in hiring key roles. I don't have any ideas that aren't already in a contract language, I just see how the job on this side has gotten harder and there isn't much of a way for us to make it easier for each other like we could with having writers on set or in post production, because the streaming model has made that impossible.

—

Once again, we would like to give a big thank you to everyone who asked their questions, and an even BIGGER thank you to Eric Heisserer for answering them!

[deadpresidents]

I don't understand why news stories about JD Vance keep mentioning that he's the most unpopular non-incumbent VP candidate since 1980. Unless they're talking about John Anderson (maybe? who knows?), that would've been the Reagan-Bush ticket, and they won! Maybe the VP choice really doesn't have that much impact on elections?

I think they're just using 1980 as a starting point, not as a comparable example. George H.W. Bush was an excellent choice as Reagan's running mate. He brought ideological balance to the ticket, was extremely qualified, and unified the party (he was Reagan's closest challenger for the nomination in the 1980 Republican primaries). The better example for a horrible VP pick would be, as I have seen mentioned in some places, George McGovern's disastrous choice of Thomas Eagleton in 1972, which ultimately resulted in Eagleton being dumped for Sargent Shriver eighteen days later.

Dan Quayle was a very questionable pick when he first was chosen as George H.W. Bush's running mate in 1988 because people just didn't know who he was. Even though Quayle had served in the House and the Senate up to that point, he had made so little of an impact that his selection was pretty shocking to many observers. I think the bigger problem with Vance, however, is that he's just plain unlikable. Even Quayle had a certain attractive quality to him because he was a youthful pick who brought a different kind of energy to that ticket once people got over the shock of him being picked. Vance hasn't added anything to Trump's ticket, and it's easy to argue that he's actually had a negative impact on the campaign, which is the one thing a Vice Presidential nominee should never do.

In retrospect, Sarah Palin was obviously one of the worst VP picks in American history, but she revitalized McCain's campaign in 2008 and there were moments were she really shined. If she had been actually qualified or prepared for the role she would have been a different story. I was working on the Obama campaign in 2008 and remember watching her give her acceptance speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention and we were all thinking, "Oh shit...they might have something here!" And then she started having to do interviews and it immediately became apparent that there was nothing under the charisma. We went from being scared that she might be good to being scared by how extraordinarily unqualified and ill-prepared she was.

There have been misfires on the other side, as well. Joe Lieberman was one of the least-inspiring choices of my lifetime. John Edwards, one of the slimiest American politicians of the 21st Century (which is quite an accomplishment), was as much of an empty suit under big hair as Sarah Palin was. And Tim Kaine may have been well-qualified for the job, but I don't know anybody who was excited when he was Hillary Clinton's choice. I don't even remember Hillary Clinton being excited about picking Tim Kaine. Kaine wasn't a net negative to Hillary Clinton's campaign, but I didn't think he added anything, either.

When it comes down to it, I think it's more likely that you're correct about the VP selection not having that big of an impact on the election. It's still an important inflection point in a campaign because it's the Presidential nominee's first big decision and EVERYBODY is paying attention. And, sometimes, it's an indication of the type of team the President is going to build around him when he does govern. But there hasn't been a running mate that really made a difference for geographical reasons since LBJ was nominated in 1960 and helped JFK narrowly win Texas. Yet, geographical balance is always one of the most-talked about aspects of building a ticket.

The most important thing is to pick somebody who is qualified to be President if necessary and doesn't take anything away from the ticket. Ideological, demographic, or regional balance is always good, but not necessary. One of the better tickets of my lifetime was Clinton/Gore and Clinton was a young, Southern Governor who decided to double-down and chose an even younger, Southern Senator as his running mate. Clinton chose someone who he thought could help him govern. And one of the other best tickets of my lifetime was a losing one: Romney/Ryan in 2012. There was more of a demographic/ideological/regional balance with that ticket, but Romney chose Ryan because he wanted an active partner in governing and Ryan had the legislative experience that Romney lacked.

Again, it's probably less important to the general election results than it seems, but the whole "Veepstakes" deal is always fun for political junkies, so we'll never stop talking about it!

Iss. 9:

The Hands That Toil: Redhaven's Labor Shortage!

Bouts of rain have been hitting Redhaven over the course of the last week, and the new government is making haste to take advantage of that fact, initiating a program to revitalize agriculture in Redhaven’s countryside. The program will involve the hiring of farm laborers from the city’s civilian population placed directly under the management of Frontline Confederation officers as farms are rebuilt and replanted.

In a related move, the estate of Lord Oswald Redhaven is looking for scientists, engineers, and researchers to conduct investigations into the fog surrounding Redhaven and what lies beyond it. Thus far, head researcher Earnest Bell has determined that we are, all of us, in another dimension. He explained to The Delegate, “This new world is just like our old world in many ways, but it differs in many more. These distinctions are mounting and have begun to form the basis for a whole new frontier of scientific possibility.”

The estate has officially termed this new dimension, “The Void”

Despite the confidence of the new government, as evidenced by the farming and science programs, there are those who have reservations. Chief among these individuals is a farmhand you may recall from an older interview with The Delegate, Jens Dahl… ---

Gerhardt square’s cobbles are wet with rain water, though the downpour has passed. A bald man with white, well-groomed facial hair stands in front of a podium. He is wrinkled with worry and age, though his back remains straight and his chin held high. A badge of silver and gold sits on his breast, shining bright: the feather of Redhaven. His feather.

There are police present, a few in front and a few in the wings, but the crowd is passive and admiring. Some are even awestruck.

Another man watches from the edge of the crowd with his brow furrowed and his shoulders sagging, not quite as old as the speaker, but worse-for-wear by a lifetime. Jens Dahl listens intently to the speech, eyes squinting through the gloom of the sunless afternoon.

Lord Redhaven’s voice booms, “Though we’ve all lost much in The Great Transit and the days that followed it, there is new faith to be found. Professor Bell and his team have discovered new materials within the fog, materials that may change life itself for you, the citizens of Redhaven. This ‘void crystal’ as it has been named, may well be the future, and it is only by the strength of our people that we can understand it, that we can take this future into our own hands.”

A pack of journalists to Jens’ right scribble furiously, marking down every syllable. He tilts his nose up warily and waits.

Lord Redhaven continues, “That is why we are calling for anyone with experience in academia, research, engineering, and chemistry to join the call. My estate will be open immediately following this event, where Professor Bell will be conducting interviews and selecting the most promising candidates to further his research, and to further our future.” The statesman pauses for a moment, gauging the crowd with his eyes. “So, thank you, people of Redhaven, for fighting on through this tragedy. We will come out of this stronger than ever before, so long as we stick together, so long as we keep heart.”

There is a roar of applause, swelling like the tides and flooding the senses. Lord Redhaven nods humbly and makes his way off stage. The assembled officers form up to surround him and a few of the reporters rush up, shouting questions as the road is closed off to block them.

The audience lingers, murmuring about applications, about qualifications, wondering if there will be opportunities for common laborers or veterans.

Jens does not wait though. He turns around and separates himself from the pack as quickly as he can, trotting down the high street until he’s clear of the throng and the buzzing conversations. He slows slightly and his breathing evens out, though he carries on for another few blocks to the stoop of a duplex apartment. He knocks on the door, asking, “Ingrid, are you in?”

A high and rough voice calls out, “It’s unlocked.”

Jens wipes his feet off outside and enters, closing the door gently behind himself as he does. The interior is dim and much smaller than it seemed from the outside, but it is well kept. A rough-looking woman with messy blonde hair is lounging on an old couch and reading a newspaper.

“Sit,” she commands, and Jens rolls his eyes.

“Where do you get off, giving orders to a guest?” he responds, more tired than annoyed.

The woman closes her paper and straightens up. “It wasn’t an order, it was advice. I can hear you panting.” Jens’ frown drops just a little bit lower, then he concedes, taking a seat on a wooden chair in the corner. Ingrid continues, “How was the speech? Was the magnanimous Lord Redhaven as impressive as everyone says?”

Jens hunches in the chair, setting his elbows on his knees. “Sure, sure. He seems spry for his age, sprier than me for sure. Talked a lot about what his cabinet of experts have found out about this ‘void’ we’re trapped in.”

There is a pause.

Ingrid leans forward and says, “But you’re worried about something.”

Jens bites his lip. “The good Count put out a call to hire. He specified researchers and academics and that sort of thing, but they’ll need regular folks too. Equipment will need to moved, infrastructure repaired, supplies manufactured. Between this and the farming program, a lot of people who were out of work last week will be back to it.”

Ingrid leans back and shrugs. “So what? We’re workers, we work. You’ve been a farmhand your whole life and you’re doing fine.”

“That’s not all of it though. The Field Workers local went up in smoke. Same for most of the other trades. Farm work was hard, but we did fine so long as we had our reps. I’ve worked fields without contracts, and it isn’t pretty.” Jens is stewing now, thoughts rattling around in his head like loose change.

Ingrid scratches the back of her head and squints, finally rising to her feet to stretch. “You’re the most experienced one left, right? How long were you a foreman? Ten years? Fifteen? All the surviving farmhands know and respect you, so just open another local for them. You’ve already been arguing with the bosses, so you’re basically already a rep.”

Jens’ eyes go wide as dinner plates and he cocks his head to the side. He stammers for a moment, then finally mutters, “That’s too much. I don’t think I can do it all on my own.”

Ingrid shrugs. “You could always ask The Blues for help. I hear they do this kind of thing all the time: agitation or aggravation, or something like that.”

Jens shakes his head. “I’m sure the Coalition has done lots of good around Redhaven, but I don’t like ‘em. That Calloway guy? The one who started the riot earlier in the month? They haven’t given him up and he shot someone. Who knows how many other crazies they’re protecting?”

A silence passes between the two, then Jens speaks again. He asks, "Why don't you do it? You're more social than I am, friendlier and what-not, and you're great with names and faces."

Ingrid replies, "No offense to you, Jens, but I'm not going back to farm work. I'm still good and strong, but it wasn't for me, not for the long term. I like to jump between things, you know?"

She goes to continue when there is another knock. It is quiet but firm, assertive and yet, strangely patient.

Ingrid puts up a hand to silence Jens, and then walks over to the door. She questions aloud, “Who is it?”

The voice is even and refined. “A friend from The Mayor’s office. She sends a bottle of cognac, and a proposal for your guest, Mister Dahl.”

Ingrid flashes Jens a questioning look and he shakes his head uncertainly. Ingrid whispers, “Should I let him in?”

Jens answers, “It’s your house. I hate brandy though.”

Ingrid rolls her eyes and opens the door to reveal a rather short man, somewhere around five feet tall. He is well-dressed, with a vest, bowler hat, wire-rim glasses, and a thin mustache. A silver watch chain hangs from a pocket, and he presents a bottle squarely in front of himself with both hands. There is a silver ribbon near the cork and the liquid inside seems to shine in the dim daylight with a color that ranges from yellow at its shallowest to crimson at its depths. The man looks expectantly towards Ingrid.

She hesitates for a moment, and then accepts the bottle. “Come inside, then,” she remarks, leading the way and passing the alcohol to Jens.

Though Ingrid invites him to sit with a gesture, the man remains standing. “Mister Dahl, Miss Larsen,” he expresses, as if playing host, “I represent the office of Mayor Desdemona Carmine and the interests of Redhaven. I am aware that Jens is well positioned to represent the agricultural laborers of Redhaven.”

Jens sits up straight and interrupts, “Were you eavesdropping?”

The man turns up his nose and shakes his head slightly. “Not at all. You’ve garnered a reputation of sorts, a good one.” Jens hunches over again and rolls one of his wrists. The man continues, “The heads of various unions and co-ops within the city will be gathering soon, and nobody is currently expected to represent your bloc. Your inclusion in this momentous event could be arranged, however.”

Jens mulls the words over for a minute, and Ingrid interjects with a question. “Great, that’s nice, but why is this meeting happening at my house?”

The bowler-hatted man blinks slowly, like a cat, and sighs. “Ah, yes, that detail. Mister Dahl’s home in the countryside is being watched, not everyone is as pleased by his reputation as we are. Actually, assuming that he agrees, we have secured new lodgings for him already.”

The sag in Jens’ shoulders grows deeper. He glances around the room, to Ingrid, to the man, to the bottle, to the shuttered windows, and then to the floor.

He takes a deep breath, then looks back up. “I’ll do it.”

The man claps his hands together quietly and nods. “Very well. I’ll provide you with a date and address, and show you to your new quarters tonight, let’s say…” he withdraws his pocket watch, “six o’clock?”

Jens nods, then stops. He raises a brow. “Wait, wait. What’s your name? What do I call you?”

A tiny smile, unnatural on the man’s face, grows and then disappears. “If all goes well, you won’t be speaking with me again after tonight. You can call me ‘The Valet’, in relevant company though. If they know who I am, then they’ll know who you mean.”

The Valet waits for a moment, then tips his hat, and says, “I’ll see you at six. Good day, Mister Dahl, Miss Larsen.” He leaves the two, and the door closes heavily behind him.

Aside from news on how things possibly stand for a Shadow and Bone/Six Of Crows renewal (basically no news is good news, keep going with the campaign!) there's also a short interview with Eric Heisserer, which sheds some interesting light indeed on the writing and making of Season Two, and it explains a lot of things:

Here are the questions posed for Eric's interview: 

"I'd like to know if there's a way to liberate the pre-written scripts if Netflix doesn't plan on using them" - Christian Thalmann (creator of the Fjerdan language)

"If/when the spinoff is back (finger crossed) was there anything he had planned that would completely surprised, for good reasons obviously, the audience? And we should hold our breath for that twist/turn??" - Rti

"What are the difficulties you mentioned about filming S2 in that Reddit comment? Don't want to sound negative, but what went wrong?!" - Mitra

"How long was the sizzle reel ready to go but he had to keep it secret?" - Discord Team

"I would love to know his perspective on the impact of streaming on storytelling. Would we have had to launch a campaign like this 10-15 years ago for a show like this? What are the main points when it comes to streaming models and telling unique, diverse stories?" - Acorn_Bri

1) "There is a way to liberate the Crows scripts from Netflix, yes, and in fact that would be part of the buyout for another streamer when acquiring the rights to Leigh's novels. It would be a package deal."

So Daegan worked to revise the season keeping Fedyor and leaving Ivan like dead from the end of S1. He was Kirigan's right-hand man for the season. But poor Julian caught COVID just when we were to shoot out most of his scenes, and after tyring to ake the schedule work, we had to come to the brutal truth that there wasn't a way to keep Fedyor in the story. Our only option was to bring him in at like episode 8, which would've been too little, too late. 

COVID continued to be a monster all through production, requiring us to juggle schedules and miss out on days, and it was madness for the cast, who had to pivot with almost no notice whenever someone was ill and quarantined. This isn't unique to our show of course---it happened with everyone. It's just the challenge. 

Beyond that, we had been given the go to write a special standalone story: The Demon in the Wood. This would have been released on its own around Christmas, like a BBC special but for Netflix, and would help bridge seasons 1 and 2 by showing a little of what Kirigan was doing before we seem him in S2, and also provide more character context, etc. Christina Strain wrote that and did great work adapting Leigh's short story. But it never went the distance. 

There was a lot more to S2 as well, scenes and side stories and little interactions that were lost due to budget or time restrictions. Again, not unique to our show, but agonizing all the same, since what you get is not what we had written, or in some cases even shot. I'm incredibly proud of the cast and the team, and Daegan did the heaviest lifting while I was off finishing the Crows writing room. But we had a lot more thrown at us." 

5) That sizzle reel was put together four months before the second season dropped. 

6) Streaming is a challenge to serialized storytelling in that it looks at 'content' often with a different agenda and uses metrics that can take a creative issue and exacerbate it. Like in broadcast, if viewership and thus ad revenue has slightly declined, the show will ned to find a way to make their 22 or 13 episodes on a proportionally smaller budget. What is not done is reduce episode order. But if a streaming series underperforms or doesn't meet expectations, an the streamer doesn't cancel it outright, the go-to budget reduction idea is to reduce episode order for the next season. When you just have 8 episodes and continue to deal with notes to compress, pace up, or omit for what you'd scripted for a longer season, reducing further to six or four episodes is exhausting. 

This happens due to a slide in autonomy from what the showrunner position has been. What the chatter on the picket lines revealed to us is that most showrunners today don't get to see their own show's budget, and thus don't get the freedom to make budgetary decisions that could better protect the story they're telling. More and more, showrunners not at a legacy network aren't the final say or at times even involved in hiring key roles. I don't have any ideas that aren't already in contract language, I just see how the job on this side has gotten harder and there isn't much of a way for us to make it easier for each other like we could with having writers on set or in post production, because the streaming model has made that impossible."

Attack International’s The Spirit of Freedom: Anticolonial War & Uneasy Peace with C. Crowle

In this interview we talk to C. Crowle about the recently republished and expanded edition of Attack International’s text The Spirit of Freedom: Anticolonial War & Uneasy Peace in Ireland. The new edition includes the original unabridged 1989 text by Attack International and some great supplementary material compiled by Crowle.

The book is a concise and powerful text on the national liberation struggle in Ireland from the perspective of radicals in the UK. It’s a text that challenges us to think critically about how people in an imperial center practice solidarity with the masses under the yoke of colonialism.

We discuss different facets of the Irish context, including the revitalization of the armed movement in Ireland in the 1960’s, the prisoner hunger strikes, and some of the different strands of Irish Nationalism and Ulster Unionism. We also talk about Attack International’s critical analysis of the shortcomings, and problems with the anti-imperialist solidarity movement in Great Britain during the period of Irish armed struggle.

This episode was recorded back on November 7th 2023 so while we discuss western liberalism, media and the western left with regards to Palestine, many of the questions we raised but didn’t fully flesh out are topics we’ve covered more deeply since then.

Having said that, one cannot help but ponder the resonances between the failures of the British left in supporting Irish liberation to the failures of the western left to materially impact the genocide on Palestinians & to support the Palestinian liberation struggle.

We close by talking about the very real prospects for a United Ireland, what that might mean, and some of Crowle assessments of Irish Republicanism today.

Kersplebedeb published this book, and their online bookstore is leftwingbooks.net. They are based in Canada, and are having a sale of 25% off during the Canada Post strike, because shipments will be delayed (solidarity to the striking postal workers). I highly encourage people to check out their catalogue, and in addition to The Spirit of Freedom, I will include some books I love from them in the show description.

mali's holding the tiniest microphone up to caelus' mouth. she's obviously holding the most important interviews known to mankind. "mr. trailblazer, caelus, sir — can you describe a moment in your career where you felt like ‘I’m him’ ? also, would you like to offer a comment on the dwindling peach yields?"

A-A-A-A-HEM!

Now wasn't Ms.Mali a kind and considerate caster within these moments. Making sure to handle his part, those broad arms remained cross as his jacket clung upon his figure like a proud cape, allowing it to billow amidst refreshing fans that blew within the room.

"To be Him is no easy task. In fact, there's a fine thread of risk of letting arrogance come to override such a time. Sharing these usually have to be amidst whispers of a crowd, of reports stamped across screens, yet here you are. Full of moxie and full damn willing to get it right from the source too no less?" Caelus allows calm to overtake him as a memory comes to mind.

Ah. Now there was a moment that could spark the kindle and rouse the heart. "I'll make it a sweet n' simple one. It's when I grabbed life stuck within the fangs of death and tore it out. Right in the frigid tundra of a planet rising from the struggle tides of history. There was a sinister force that tried turning my head into a personal pin cushion. And y'know what? They succeeded for a time."

"Until it was my burning blood that revitalized the lost Amber of the Architects. That made it realize it was meant to burn and never fall underneath the Eternal Freeze. Thus!" He'd draw that very lance to the mortal plane, a searing surge of flame carefully unveiling it, leaving the firm grip of his hand to secure it.

"Guess you could say the rest is history. Me, the Express gang and the heavy hitters of that land soon made sure a brighter tomorrow was promised. Ol' Qlipoth might've been interested in that too, if ya know what I mean."

That would do on the touch of a Belobog Classic! What follows is a question that's also near and dear to his heart.

A soft sigh spills at the forlorn thought. "It's nothing to take with the ease of heart. In many ways, you'd think it's a more targeted anomaly in how it's just with this realm's peaches in particular. Leaving them to either fade in obscurity or for cataclysms to try annihilating them off this universe's face too soon. They didn't carefully craft and build up their strength, to be both malleable externally, while having an indomitable and tight core just to be lost by disasters." Unable to fully cope with his emotions, a still freed hand would settle upon Mali's shoulder in a form of support. Vigor would burn bright within his eyes as he got lost within her crimson gaze. "Remember. Never let yours be lost either. We walk a wild road, and I'd like to see that it shines like the glimmering, peachy star it's always been."

Do you think Debbie would want to have more kids down the line?

you know what this is such an interesting question because i really kind of felt like she might not want more kids but in (im pretty sure the big final zoom call interview) emma said that she thought debbie would eventually have some more kids, and i guess i want to think that the people playing these characters understand them the best??

but i dunno maybe that actually shouldnt be a factor at all and i should go right on thinking that debbie and franny will carry on with like lorelai and rory gilmore type vibes.

except i do really hope debbie finds a partner eventually because she obviously wants one. and i very much think she can, shes really going through some shit when we leave her at the end of season 11 but i very deeply believe that franks death sparks a desire amongst the gallagher siblings to kind of rally and revitalize their strong connections. and i just think that she really needs her family to help her work through some of her stuff. she’s just still so young in season 11!

uhm sorry i got distracted?

im gonna go with no. i think debbie is just gonna focus on franny, herself, her family, and her eventual lovely partner 🙃

send me assks!!

The interviewer sighed, running a hand through her hair in frustration. The self-proclaimed 'Dark Warlord', Daedrias, sat gingerly in his seat opposite her.

"Allow me to reformulate my question, Mister Daedrias... Why? Why only conquer one small, backwater village?"

"I just feel they'd benefit from a warlord in town. I grew up here, you know - Left to become an apprentice warlord after highschool. I'm sure my mentor's spirit could validate my credentials, if you'd like." The armor-clad, so called 'villain' eagerly gestured for a macabre amulet of a skull that dangled beneath his pale neck; the reporter shot it down with a motion of her hand.

"That will be fine - I'm sure you graduated with... As many honors as a warlord can attain. But I'm curious; is this venture of yours motivated by revenge?" The interviewee shuddered.

"No, no, heavens no! I love my home village, and I had an excellent childhood. But we're a few ways off from major trade routes, and I figured a Dark Warlord could really revitalize our lovely community."

"Revitalize? I'm not following."

Daedrias laughed, like he was in on something the reporter was missing. "Think about it this way, Miss Hale. How many villages have been conquered by a Dark Warlord?"

"Not many, I presume?" The man nodded quickly, stars in his eyes.

"Exactly! Think of all the tourists it would attract! A proper warlord in the flesh, it's excellent publicity!" Daedrias was almost about to jump off his seat. "It'd get plenty of news cameras and wallets into my precious home town, that much is for certain. Wouldn't you agree?"

"When you put it that way, I suppose I do. But is presenting yourself as a villain necessary?"

"Theatrics, my dear, theatrics! No one cares if some no-name backwater village elects the same boring old mayor for the fiftieth time, but a warlord? That's a scoop right there, Veronica!" She couldn't help but crack the slightest smile. There was something fascinating about such a threatening presence acting like some PR expert.

The interviewer collected herself, and checked through her notes. "Let's go over your proposed policies. You intend to rule the village of Farawhill for?"

"The next few foreseeable centuries."

"Right. What do you plan on doing in that time?"

"Oh, plenty; I have a whole bucket list. Obviously I'd start building barracks for my undead army, but also begin work on the infrastructure, housing..." He started trailing off, making exaggerated motions with his hands as he described surprisingly banal topics such as windmill renovations and eco-friendly dams. The reporter reeled him in with a sudden cough.

"Yes, of course, but would you say you have anything more evil in mind?" She asked with a hint of annoyance expertly masked behind journalistic cordiality.

"Of course, of course, I will also spread my evil agenda. We shall begin with construction of my dark spire atop the hill overlooking the town. We've actually worked out a merchandising deal with a very prestigious gnome company."

"Gnomes. Doing merchandising." Hale deadpanned. Daedrias never lost his smile.

"Yes indeed! We'll have a very expansive gift shop and a number of attractions such as spell cauldrons and ritual chambers - All locally staffed, of course." He added with a bashful chuckle. By now, the reporter had completely forsaken any attempt at taking the situation seriously.

"Let me get this straight; you became a warlord, raised an army of the dead, and announced your plans of conquest... To turn a small village into a tourist trap?"

"If you want to put it like that, yes! I have a number of ideas on what to do around these parts. Could I offer you some coupons for our VIP 'Initiate Sorceress' treatment? It comes with a free magma spa!"

“So you’re a villain, but you only want to take over this small village?” “Yep.” “You don’t have any plans to take over anywhere else?” “Nope.”

Revitalize Your Book Club Meetings with the Power of SMS

In the world of book clubs, staying connected and ensuring active participation can sometimes be a challenge. Leveraging SMS technology offers an innovative way to streamline communication, send timely reminders, and foster engaging discussions. If you're looking to enhance your book club's experience, consider implementing sms for book clubs to keep everyone informed and excited about upcoming meetings.

One of the most effective uses of SMS in a book club setting is sending meeting reminders.

Looking forward to seeing everyone," can significantly increase attendance rates. Additionally, SMS reminders can include details such as the location, agenda, or specific discussion topics to prepare members ahead of time.

Beyond reminders, SMS can serve as a platform for sharing discussion points. Prior to the meeting, send out thought-provoking questions or topics related to the current book. This encourages members to think critically and come prepared, making discussions more lively and meaningful. For example, a message might say, "What did you think about the protagonist's decision in chapter 5? Share your thoughts before our discussion tonight." This proactive approach keeps members engaged and fosters a sense of community.

Implementing SMS communication also promotes community engagement. Members can reply to messages, share their opinions, or suggest future books. This two-way interaction nurtures stronger bonds and makes everyone feel involved. Moreover, SMS can be used to share supplementary materials, such as author interviews, related articles, or upcoming events, enriching the overall experience.

To maximize the benefits of SMS for your book club, consider using dedicated platforms or services that allow you to send bulk messages, schedule reminders, and manage contacts efficiently. Personalization can also make messages more impactful, addressing members by name or referencing their past contributions. Remember to keep messages concise, friendly, and relevant to maintain interest and avoid message fatigue.

In conclusion, integrating SMS into your book club communication strategy can significantly improve attendance, participation, and overall enjoyment. By providing timely reminders and engaging discussion prompts, you create a dynamic environment where members are motivated to participate actively.

Christopher Hildebrant Cincinnati Visionary Who Turned Urban Challenges Into Opportunities

Christopher Hildebrant never set out to be just another name in real estate. From the very beginning of his journey in Cincinnati, he envisioned something bigger: a city where development uplifts communities, preserves history, and leads with purpose.

Today, when people speak of Christopher Hildebrant Cincinnati, they speak of transformation. Not just of buildings, but of neighborhoods—of lives. As the CEO of Morelia Group, Hildebrant has been the mastermind behind some of Cincinnati’s most impactful urban revitalization projects, combining strategic thinking with human-centered design.

It all started with a question: “What if real estate could be more than business?” That simple idea became the cornerstone of his work. Through projects like Riverfront Renewal and eco-conscious housing initiatives, Hildebrant brought innovation to life—turning overlooked spaces into vibrant, inclusive environments.

His passion for meaningful development goes hand in hand with his belief in community collaboration. Rather than dictate change, Hildebrant listens—engaging residents, stakeholders, and city leaders in shaping projects that reflect shared goals. This approach is detailed in his interviews and reflections on LinkedIn and showcased in his creative visuals on Behance.

What makes his story even more compelling is his resilience. As outlined in his Crunchbase profile, Hildebrant didn’t inherit a blueprint for success—he designed it from the ground up. Learning from the challenges of a rapidly changing industry, he turned obstacles into innovation, pioneering sustainable practices long before they became industry standards.

His leadership isn’t confined to boardrooms. He’s a storyteller, a mentor, and a thought leader. On SoundCloud, you’ll find him sharing ideas not just about development, but about legacy, vision, and the future of cities. His voice echoes the same clarity and purpose that guides his projects on the ground.

Publications like Barchart and The Globe and Mail have recognized Hildebrant not only for his impact on the Cincinnati skyline but for his deeper contribution to civic life—through philanthropy, mentorship, and cultural investment.

Archived insights and project summaries, like those available on Wasabi, offer a closer look at how his long-term vision is materializing in real time. His Muckrack presence also reflects how his leadership is resonating across media and industry platforms alike.

Christopher Hildebrant’s story is proof that cities are not just built with steel and stone—they are built with heart, with vision, and with an unwavering belief in what’s possible.

As Cincinnati continues its upward journey, one thing is clear: Christopher Hildebrant isn’t just shaping the city—he’s inspiring it.

With several television and film loans to his name, the former “fresh princes of Bel-Air” performers did his trail on the industry.
