Beautifully observed and articulate - love MickeyJo
Always love his observations and the way he expresses himself and his views - insightful - well thought out and impressive.
Love MJ!
As someone who works in theatre I am always so grateful to MickeyJo for his work and insights. They are positive without being flimsy. MickeyJo can be critical in the formal, literary sense where they unpack the meanings of thing. He can also be critical of systems and power in a way that is so useful and accurate - much, MUCH better than attacking performers or crews.

I love MickeyJo on YouTube, so when I found out videos were going to be released in a podcast format I got happy. Now I can listen to all my favorite content while working on other stuff that will require my eyes on it. I still watch the videos when I have the time to, trust. Love you MickeyJo!
My favorite podcast on theater, no contest.
