A nice complement to the show you can see live and on YouTube. From the maker of the great dead eyes podcast.
5 stars but I'm legit just writing this review in the hopes that Connor sees it and it sways him to not stop doing the podcast, or at the very least to not delete it from the internet entirely, since he constantly threatens to do so! ðŸ˜
I listen to a LOT of creatives doing podcasts. This one somehow feels heart-to-heart like no one else.
Connor answers your questions about acting and improv. Great insights from a great guy
I would need to brush my teeth about 7 times as long as normal in order to finish a typical episode. That said, as a non-acting individual myself, I enjoy learning about the thoughtful perspective Connor offers in this area of his expertise. Respectfully, I have moved on from listening while brushing my teeth to listening as I drift off to sleep, swaddled by a calm, introspective voice on a topic I am curious to know more about.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.

A candid, craft-focused show where the host shares practical acting and improv insights, personal storytelling, and meta-commentary on performance and show business.

The format frequently features solo riffs as well as conversations with guests or collaborators, making it feel like an intimate workshop and a backstage pass to the acting world.
Noteworthy traits include a willingness to explore the messy, imperfect realities of making art, a tendency to blur performance with personal narrative, and a knack for turning technical topics into relatable, human-centered conversati... more
