  • Oh no!

    I love this podcast. I listen and re-listen to every episode. Would you consider doing a special segment for those actors and actresses you haven’t interviewed? Break A Leg in whatever the future brings you.

  • This podcast is it!

    This is far and above my favorite deep dive into, anything! Maybe it’s because it was started by Gillian, who had not seen the show when she started the podcast or because of her genuine love for “the thing”, but either way, this podcast is the best. She makes all of her guests feel at home, and helps the listeners to feel like they are part of the interview, even including questions from the Patrion Peeps.

    I raise my glass to Gillian and this wonderful podcast!!
