Love learning about the ins and outs of soaps and the wonderful stories with each guest. Thank you Greg and Rebecca for making it a fun and fascinating podcast.
I’m really impressed with the variety of guests that include actors, producers, writers, etc. You can tell the hosts are friends and have chemistry / history.
Interview was good but could have used better audio on Eric. Opening banter had way too much of Greg’s juvenile teasing of Rebecca. I will listen to episode 2 in hopes of improvement. Update: nope. All episodes show why they are actors…they don’t know how to freely banter without scripts. She laughs constantly. So sad. Could’ve been a contender.
Love the idea and much of the content. The giggling and irrelevant banter might keep me from listening.
It’s about time we have this soap opera podcast. What a breath of fresh air! Keep up the good work, love it so far!
