  • Inspirational!

    If you want to learn more about these impressive and beautiful shows and those that were involved with them, this is a wonderful podcast that will immerse you in the history of a time since passed. I found this Podcast when doing research for a fictional story I am writing about a showgirl in Vegas. Besides familiarizing myself with an industry and world that was very far from my own experiences, I now count myself a true fan. Many of these men and women not only lived fabulous lives while parti... more

  • Came for Dita, stayed for Sheri

    Such a fun podcast. I started off finding it because I’d done a search for interviews with Dita Von Teese. Fell in love with Sheri’s interviews. Such a fun podcast with incredible stories!

  • “Once a Bluebell always a Bluebell”

    Thank you Sheri for this informative and heart warming first podcast interviewing Lindsey Raven. It brought a tear to my eye because being a part of Margaret Kelly’s incredibly long and illustrious career in show business is very special.

    The reunion was “magical”. Lindsey worked so hard and in true show business style we never noticed how tired she must have been.

    I can’t wait to hear more podcasts.

    The show must go on!
