  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 495 - Arianna Davis
Q: How did you navigate the complexities of being on a show filmed in a mockumentary style?
I was initially not given too much guidance because they assumed I had experience. I played it cool and learned through observation and collaboration with cast mates and the crew. I also researched set terminology to help me feel more confident.
Episode 495 - Arianna Davis
Q: How do you learn about narcolepsy? Do you talk to people who have it?
I have two friends with narcolepsy, and I talked with them to understand their experiences. I made sure to research the condition widely since there are different types of narcolepsy and varying symptoms.
Episode 495 - Arianna Davis
Q: Can you tell me from first email to audition to first day on set, like your whole journey as Madonna?
I received the email for the audition while I was traveling. Despite initial reluctance, I decided to audition last minute and filmed my self-tape using improvised equipment while visiting relatives. After a quick audition process, I was called back for a producer Zoom and quickly booked the role.
Episode 491 - Maggie Doyne and Jeremy Power Regimbal
Q: How are you managing your life and family together in Nepal?
It happened organically; if we couldn't make it work in Nepal, our relationship wouldn't survive. It all felt right as we built our life together.
Episode 491 - Maggie Doyne and Jeremy Power Regimbal
Q: Can you just talk about the first time you got to Nepal? What were your first impressions?
It was an explosion of love and joy. Everyone was excited that Maggie was back, making me feel comfortable right from the beginning.
