S5E276 -Weather Hunting the Spider-Man - a Conversation with John Semper
Q: What was your experience working on Spider-Man and how did it affect your view of later adaptations?
Living with the character for years gave me deep control over the show, and seeing later films evolve reminded me of the importance of maintaining internal logic and core character traits, even as others reinterpret the material.
S5E276 -Weather Hunting the Spider-Man - a Conversation with John Semper
Q: What sparked your decision to enter the entertainment business?
Growing up around Disney, Warner/Cartoon classics, and Alice in cinema, plus exposure to film theory and behind-the-scenes work, cemented a passion for storytelling and animation that led me into the industry.
S5E275 -Adventure Time with Sean - A Conversation with Sean Rohani
Q: In the origin story of Sean Rohani, what made you say I need to be a voice actor?
Sean explains how watching established actors in the booth and realizing the craft was real shifted him from engineering toward film/animation, and how practical exposure, like interning and observing sessions, helped him see a path into voice work.
S5E270 -The Mother Tree - a Conversation with Claudia Christian
Q: What impact has her advocacy work had and how does the audience discover her projects?
Her advocacy has grown through a widely viewed TEDx talk, a documentary called One Little Pill, and a thriving fan base that funds and promotes her work, including coaching programs, which she credits for broadening access to treatment information.
S5E270 -The Mother Tree - a Conversation with Claudia Christian
Q: How does writing sit alongside acting for you, and why write autobiographical works about recovery?
She says writing is a form of self-expression used when acting jobs are sparse, and more importantly, her autobiographical works serve to help others facing alcohol use disorder by sharing a real, relatable recovery journey and practical approaches like the Sinclair method.
