It’s episode 117 with David Wappel, an award-winning screenwriter based in LA. I first came across David after reading his excellent Twitter thread giving tips on how how to avoid over-writing action lines in a screenplay. I’ll put a link to that in the show notes because his stuff about anchoring nouns, visual writing and how to consider scale in your description can be applied to any medium.
