  • Love listening but room for improvement

    I love many of the guests Romy has on and appreciate that she’s tackling some difficult subjects that should be discussed more openly. I do wish she’d improve the volume issues and audio quality (the black swan music intro is far too loud, for example). I also wish she did more research on the interviewees beforehand; particularly with more experienced professional dancers, she seems to enter the interview with very little background information on their career (and I say this with love, but R... more

  • Disappointing

    The host stumbles with her questions, is not very articulate, doesn’t explore issues fully and talks about herself more than showing interest in her guest.

    As a listener I am left with more questions and only a general sense of her guest’s experience. The frequent use of “Um” and “like” as well as half-formed sentences (from both guest and host) made it difficult to remain interested.

  • Beautiful

    In each episode we are introduced to a new dancer, the dialogue between them and Romy is always so real. It is so inspiring to listen to such truthful conversation and to hear the stories of other dancers and professionals in the industry. Romy encourages an open and honest space for dancers to share their own experiences, the good and the bad, within the ballet world. It is always a great listen!
