Ahead of the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, SiriusXM gathered podcast royalty in Los Angeles for “Before the Buzz,” an intimate pre-Globes brunch celebrating its nominees in the inaugural Best Podcast category.
Hosted at the buzzy hotspot Max & Helen’s, the relaxed morning affair brought together A-list hosts and industry power players – including Alex Cooper, Dax Shepard, Mel Robbins, Jason Bateman, Conan O’Brien, Sebastian Maniscalco, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes – for viral hot chocolate, comfort-food favorites and conversations before awards season officially kicked off.
