In 2005, Sam and Dean Winchester set off on a road trip that would save the world and change television. For fifteen seasons and three hundred and twenty-seven episodes, the CW’s Supernatural (created by Eric Kripke) took audiences on a wild ride of family, fate, and faith with a rocking soundtrack and a seriously cool car. But that was then, and now … it’s time for another ride. Join hosts Rob Be... more

  • I’m putting a ring on it! I’m in for long haul!

    “God” & “Gabriel’s” banter is funny even more so if you are Gen X cuz Rich does deep into pop culture of the past. Great interviews. Interesting behind the scenes. They do have to stay more focused, positive, and less thirsty than other podcasts because they do work for the show. And that doesn’t make it bad! It makes it more professional and informative in a different way! Love this show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alex Annie Alexis Ann with Katherine Ramdeen (S9EP19)
Q: Did you discuss the character's motivations with the writers or director?
Yes, I talked with Stefan during callbacks about the heavier aspects of Alex and even had a chat with Bob Barron about writing, which helped me align with the character's longing for family and the moral complexity of her actions.
Alex Annie Alexis Ann with Katherine Ramdeen (S9EP19)
Q: What stood out to you about working with Kathrine Ramdeen and Kim Rhodes?
The instant chemistry and grounded performances made the scenes incredibly powerful. Kathrine brought a fragile, real energy to Alex, and Kim Rhodes provided a stabilizing, motherly presence that made the Aaron-to-Alex relationship feel authentic and emotionally charged.
Alex Annie Alexis Ann with Katherine Ramdeen (S9EP19)
Q: How did you land the role of Alex, and what was your audition process like?
I auditioned multiple times, moving from one-line roles to guest star potential, and finally landed the Alex role after reconnecting with Stefan, whom I had worked with recently. My callback involved a memorable interrogation scene where I tried something a bit outside the box, which I think helped sell my suitability for the heavier material.
Meta Fiction with Richard Speight, Jr. - Part 1 (S9EP18)
Q: What makes Meta Fiction such a standout episode in your view?
The writing leans into meta-narrative devices that let the show comment on its own script while letting actors play with the storytelling format, and the guest collaboration with Richard Speight Jr. adds a personal layer to the production's behind-the-scenes craft.
Mother's Little Helper with Misha Collins (S9EP17)
Q: Did you collaborate a lot with Adam Glass or the actors on the storytelling choices, especially the flashback structure?
He indicates there was some tone discussion, but most of the story choices came from interpreting the page, while focusing on how to capably realize the vintage flashback feel through directing and performance.
