  • Great industry podcast for actors & curious minds

    I’ve been a fan of this podcast since it dropped & finally got to be a guest! Michael is an experienced podcaster & great interviewer. He’s been “through” it, so he knows what questions to ask. Balanced with stories & insightful advice from both guests & Michael, Slate Your Name is entertaining, funny & often uncovers the universal truths about being an actor- and what it takes to maintain a career. I highly recommend this podcast for up & coming actors or anyone curious about our industry.

  • Fascinating and Fun Peak Behind The Curtain

    Michael does an amazing job of quickly putting his guests at ease which translates to tonnes of interesting stories and insights. I really enjoy this podcast. It’s kind of like the working actors version of “Literally with Rob Lowe”. Love it!

    I have absolutely nothing to do with acting or show business, and this podcast is still a fascinating and delightful look into acting and the entertainment industry.

  • Great interviews

    Michael has a great knack for getting the fun “behind the scenes” stories from his guests. So many interview shows focus on stories that have made the rounds on other platforms. This pod showcases little known and humorous “before they made it” tales, audition horror stories and on set hi-jinx. Perfect pod for working actors looking for audition tips, aspiring screenwriters, students who are dreaming of making it into “the biz” as well as those of us who just like a fun look behind the curtain. ... more
