Here's The Thing with Alec Baldwin

iHeartPodcasts

Award-winning actor Alec Baldwin takes listeners into the lives of artists, policy makers and performers. Alec sidesteps the predictable by going inside the dressing rooms, apartments, and offices of people we want to understand better: Ira Glass, Lena Dunham, David Letterman, Barbara Streisand, Tom Yorke, Chris Rock and others. Hear what happens when an inveterate guest becomes a host.

  • Great guest!

    I started listening to this podcast because I was interested in Jonathan Tetelman, and I thought the interview was unique and interesting. Alec was engaging, funny, and self-deprecating, which allowed this great opera singer to tell his story entertainingly. Since that day, I have been a fan! I wish Alec the best in his endeavours

  • You're saving us Alec!

    You are candid, and what could be deemed as sorrowful, pre-election angst, resonated with so many people. And, of course, the unfortunate ultimately temporary disappointing outcome. But your honest worry and concern absolutely validates those of us who think the same way, so thank you.

  • Well, What Fresh New News is THIS?

    I’ve recently and happily stumbled on this podcast! I’ve been a fan of Alex Baldwin from elsewhere, but this is yet a new facet of his talent: turns out he has a great voice, and agile mind, asking great questions, on salient issues. Thank GOD someone is focusing on critical issues other than politics. Climate change—AKA Climate CRISIS! We have SO far to go to address the problem and SO LITTLE time! For a long time, I’ve felt a bit like “chicken little” alone in my angst! I so welcome the compan... more

  • Listening from afar.

    Continue to enjoy the interesting people and their stories. Even though many are unfamiliar to Australian listeners, Alec never fails to engage in wonderful conversations that inform and entertain.

    I have a request…. Surely there’s no actor with such longevity as Tim Matheson, and none better than Alec Baldwin to conduct the interview.

    I’ll continue to listen with love and support.

    Deb,

    Sydney.
