  • Great Informative Podcast

    The hosts are very knowledgeable about the entertainment business. I like that they cover music, theatre and television and not just movies.

  • Informative and also entertaining

    I’ve been listening to this show for a while now and it never fails to fill me in on some news story I wasn’t aware of. The focus here is definitely entertainment business focused. The hosts are knowledgeable and witty. They often have some really good high level guests to interview. One of the better podcasts I stumbled across.

  • Politics ruins everything...

    I began listening to this podcast several years ago. Originally, it was a show I looked forward to every week. It went immediately to the top of my playlist and I made time to actually listen to it. Hosts J. Sperling Reich and Michael Giltz offered insightful discussions on the business behind entertainment. Mr. Reich pilots the show with Mr. Giltz acting as affable curmudgeon regularly firing off pointed yet amusing rants.

    Mr. Reich is based in Los Angeles. I think Mr. Giltz is based in New Y... more
