  • Randy is one of the best hosts you will ever listen to. He asks questions that very few have the guts to ask. Humorous, warm and, conversational with celebrity icons from our childhood, along with modern influencers. It's a fun show.

  • Randall Kenneth Jones is a master interviewer!

    This podcast is what all podcasts should be like. Mr. Jones asks questions no one else can ask with the celebrities we grew up with. He takes a deep dive and makes it all so funny, reflective and sometimes he gets his guests to cry. I thoroughly look forward to every episode.
