Such a significant podcast series, delivered in such a down to earth and human fashion. This week’s with Lee Mungo spoke so many truths to me. Well done and thanks 🙏🏻❤️
What an important and comforting podcast.
Such a great podcast; I’ve only recently started listening after seeing Alexa on Actors pro expo but I must’ve listened to half of the episodes in the last week or so!
There are plenty of episodes to pick and choose from; they’re all great but I’ve particularly enjoyed the casting director guest episodes and the latest AD episode for the industry info (but there are so many to choose from).
A must for the 98% or anyone working in the industry!
Thanks again Alexa and Katie!
Honestly listen to this pod cast daily needs more episodes !!! And I love how real it is need more actors like this :)
