As he says during the introduction of this podcast, John Pierson hosted special Master Class Q&As with actor/filmmaker Steve Buscemi and TV writer/producer David Simon soon after SXSW 2008 concluded. I was too burnt out to see Buscemi, but was happy to attend the Simon sesson, even if I've never watched a frame of his show, The Wire.
