  • Two of my favorite people in entertainment and two of the biggest goofs on Earth

    Rambling remembrances and very human moments between good friends. An hour just ain’t enough. Oh and guests to blow your mind. Good to hear Mark Addy again. I think A Knight’s Tale was my introduction to Alan Tudyk.

  • Reminiscing …

    Enjoyed interview with Mark Addy - listening to the tales of A Knight’s Tale, feeling sad about fellow Aussie, Heath Ledger. I read GOT before the series and really enjoyed the first 2 seasons. And I especially love the banter between Nathan and Alan. I first ‘met’ Nathan on Buffy and Alan on Firefly. Keep on doing what you are doing, entertaining and leaving people better informed and happy ✨🌟✨

  • Insight into the craft

    Sorry to bang on about Firefly but the magic of that show is in part due to the craft that Nathan and Alan deep dive into with this podcast. It’s not just about one show but rather an insight to their entire body of work. Bringing in guests just makes it all the more fun. It’s hard to find ways to thank the the actors of the greatest space adventure that ever was but by following this podcast I hope to share some of my gratitude. Keep up the good work.

  • Questions

    I’ve only listened to two of these episodes, but I’ve found the interviews quite revealing. The episode with Mark Addy was funny and illuminating on what life as an actor is like. The other episode was about what motivated one to continue after a failure. That advice could apply to anyone, not just actors. I enjoy Nathan and Alan on screen and also when they are just themselves. Thanks for making a great podcast.
