  • Back to one Steph.

    First episode I listened too was Patti, who said its a Calling. BLOW Gabriel BLOW! My spirit totally received that term.

    Next was Ten Times Perfect with Back to One Steph. That gave my work ethic a direction and refocused my tenacity. I return to this episode once a month.

    Thanks for helping save an artist! We will take one day 🤩 💗

  • Good, Involving Conversations

    The host occasionally gushes a little too much for me, but otherwise this podcast has been a real find. It’s a treasure trove of respected theater artists that you always wanted to hear more from, but might not have been famous enough for them to land a spot on a late night talk show. To Ms. Levine’s credit, she REALLY lets the more complex answers spool out, and doesn’t feel the need to jump in and interrupt them. It also helps that she’s in the biz.

  • Great Podcast

    Really love this podcast! Loved the episode with Edie Falco ! I love when Edie said she probably wasn’t supposed to say acting school took away her confidence and Ilana said no someone is listening and thinking that’s me! Well that person IS me! I was very encouraged to hear what Edie said about how learning the intellectual side of acting made things less clear because that’s how I feel too. The more I study the intellectual side of acting the more confusing I find it and it makes me feel like... more
