  • Not in the biz and I keep coming back

    I found this podcast after an obscure search result said the answer to why my favorite Sonic couple ads came to a stop was found in an interview here.

    Mike is a likeable, funny guy and it is fascinating to learn how people struggle to adapt to the changing business of acting. Much like I feel when watching Clarkson’s Farm, it’s hard to believe anyone can make this their career. I appreciate the efforts of performers and anyone trying to better understand how things work.

    Keep at it, Mike!

  • Love this podcast

    I love this podcast. All the guests I’ve heard so far had great insights/advice and Mike can actually talk to them which makes it really fun to listen to as well.

    A lot of the hosts of similar entertainment career related podcasts sound either awkward or annoying, but Mike is none of those things. He’s got a real gift for establishing a rapport with literally anybody so the conversations flow naturally and are really entertaining to listen to as well.

    Episodes I would recommend are Matt Jones,... more

  • Hilarious show, awesome interviewer, interesting guests!

    I’m moving to LA in a month and I found this podcast. It’s really giving me the ins and outs of the entertainment industry all while making me laugh! Mike has fun conversations and it’s cool to hear stories from people with such diverse backgrounds and professions. Not to mention, it’s calming and reassuring to hear such successful people speak about their struggles. I’m into it!!
