  • Fun but insightful podcast

    Pip is a great interviewer, insightful in his questioning and allows conversation to flow naturally with his interviewees. The range of guests is impressive and it’s not the same cast of characters you often see working the podcast scene!

  • Terrible

    You would think after 500 episodes the host would listen to the people and improve his interview techniques. He constantly talks over guests and tries to get an in with auditions to every actor guest. It’s just got incredibly cringey and desperate. I tried to listen to the latest and still it’s full of yers and what about me’s. Please get better at acting and leave the podcasting.
