Delightful. And I love the bell.
Listening to these two interview and play around with the Hollywood and Broadway experience from their perspective is a new pleasure I hadn’t any idea I wanted…. Nay! Needed! Thanks guys!
I can only describe this podcast as “fun”. Conversations and stories are so engaging and interesting. Makes you wish you were sitting right there with Brent and Johnny.
Love Brent and Jonathan together the two of them are hilarious and have stories for days, there a perfect pairing.
As a proud member of IATSE local 52, NY (set medic), I was enthralled with this interview. I wish Ron the best with his endeavor “Asylum Studios”. Brent and Jonathan…. What can I say. I grew up with you on TNG and when I listen, you both have a way of making us as an audience feel as though we are sitting right there with you. I believe you would make me feel that way if I were on set with as well. Perhaps someday our paths will cross. Best regards and thank you.
