  • The BEST podcast for any young person wanting to pursue theatre

    Maggie is the older sister we all need in our lives! The Actor Aesthetic Podcast has been a staple in my podcast rotation for 3 years, and I have learned so much from listening. It’s gotten me through college auditions, and is helping me navigate what it’s like to audition in NYC. Not only is it informal, but there’s a level of comfortability and honesty that I truly do appreciate. Thank you for all you do Maggie!

  • Like Talking to Your Bestie

    During the pandemic, my friends left the industry, so I haven’t had anyone to commiserate with. But Maggie gets it. I find myself nodding along while listening all the time because she’s saying everything I’m thinking and affirms that I’m not actually going crazy
