Besides Scriptones and Nerdist, what are some good screenwriting podcasts? I'm especially interested in things that focus more on the business side (agents, managers, query letters, managing a career, starting a career etc.) rather than the craft, but I'll take anything.

Re: Podcast recommendations
If you want to write for TV, the Children of Tendu podcast is essential listening. They very much focus on the business side over craft stuff, and they're very thorough and specific.
Austin Film Festival's "On Story" podcast is pretty good too, though it lands more on the craft side of things more often than not.
And I like the Blacklist Table Reads because I usually have more time to listen to screenplays than read them.

Scripts & Scribes hosted by Kevin Fukunaga features interviews with managers, agents, show runners, writers etc. Good mix of business and craft. It's worth going into the archives to listen to managers etc. when you're ready to start marketing your latest.
The Vomit Draft/Broken Projector podcast with Geoff LaTulippe
Scott Beggs is entertaining and helpful.

Re: Podcast recommendations
Draft Zero is decent. It's two Aussie writers, so can occasionally be a bit parochial, although because they have a similar system of state funding to the UK I actually find some of their discussions more relevant than Scriptnotes et al.

I've found 3rd & Fairfax: The WGAW Podcast helpful. I've listened to a few and it seems the format is that they have someone from the Guild explain their part (credits/signatories/legal/etc) and then they have an interview with a writer.

Aside from the two that I produce, I also like Seated at the Writer's Table.

Re: Podcast recommendations
Script and Scribes is my favorite. For a while, they had an amazing lineup of managers each week.
I found some major directors and screenwriters interviewed on Q & A with Jeff Goldsmith. And really like Pilar's podcast.
But, I find a lot of random stuff on youtube just by typing the name of whatever person I'm looking for. My favorite was the Steven Spielberg advice.

Obviously, writers can talk about this, too, but I find they'll usually get asked "craft" questions, which is complete BS, you can't learn to write (you get better by doing it yourself) and that stuff is useless.
