  • Old was gold

    First let’s talk about the Gabrielle complaints. Clearly racist because why wouldn’t you want to hear from the actress that has 20 times the credits Sam has? You only want to hear Sam’s insights but don’t complain about any other of the dozens of guests? Yeah, racist. Anyway, there seems to have been a shift from a focus on acting to a bunch of stuff surrounding hollow Instagram therapist self-help stuff and it’s really (and, I guess, understandably if you’re not booking) repetitive. If it’s no... more

  • Miss the old format

    This podcast has been a great resource for so long. Def worth listening to old episodes, but the new membership feels a bit scammy and pushed. Unfortunately actors don’t need more things to subscribe to, we already have enough to invest it. Also the Gabrielle collab doesn’t feel authentic. Love Sam, and her solo episodes are great and so are the interviews.

    Sam is amazing. Natural interviewer. She and her guests give candid info we all want to know about the industry. I am not a fan of the random Gabrielle-collab episodes (unless it’s an interview episode). Gabrielle seems cool, but I come here to hear Sam’s insight. I think they have a business together but I’m not sure why it bleeds over into OBA. Lately the episodes haven’t been as acting heavy (not sure if that’s due to the strike/slow auditions) but hopefully the non-subscriber episodes return... more

  • Motivational!

    I’ve been a SAG actress for 5 years now and it’s been filled with ups and downs. Discovering this podcast has given me lots of motivation and inspiration to keep on going. Also to be ok with the lows at times too. Thank you so much Sam for your advice!
