  • Working It Out with Nathan Lane

    Beautiful and hilarious episode with Mike and Nathan Lane- one of my favorite Working It Out shows yet! Nathan is so humble and sweet and the talent these two bring is incredible. They should make a film together!

  • You’re So kind

    I just listened to the Elyse Myers podcast and want to comment on how very kind and nurturing you were to her. It warmed my heart to listen as you poured affirmations into her and provided possible guardrails to encourage her to purse live storytelling in a way that could give her comfort. 💚💚

  • Love this podcast!!

    This podcast is a lifeboat in a sea of bad political news. It’s so nice to listen to Mike interviewing different comedians about their process and back story of becoming a professional comedian. I find myself laughing throughout - sometimes this leads me to search the comedian in order to hear more of their work. I also love “working it out for a cause” and their effort to give back to the community.
