  • Very engaging

    I’ve been a Shaw regular for 10+ years and intend for 2025 to be the third year I’ll see every scheduled show. I love learning more about the actors I’ve enjoyed over the years, and a little more about the creative process. Kelly and Spike are fantastic hosts, and I’m always looking forward to my next Shaw trip and the next podcast episode!
