Mark has been hosting these incredible shows at the Hideout for so long, you wouldn’t believe some of the amazing people he has interviewed — often just before they break big. The show was so good it even had a tv run on WTTW. Very excited to hear new interviews mixed in with the deep vault of historical interviews.
Great podcast and an excellent opportunity to hear Mark’s brilliant and witty interviews with his guests. Fabulous!
Chicago’s own Mark Bazer has been doing his talk show at the Hideout for years and it’s awesome to see they are releasing a podcast version of it. Bazer always has interesting guests and the interviews are consistently entertaining. Since I no longer live in Chicago I’m excited to revisit the good times at the Hideout with the Interview Show podcast!
Love this show! Mark gets such great guests and has a really fun and relaxed rapport with them. I always end up learning something fun about a favorite TV/movie start or writer. If I lived in Chicago I’d make every show! So glad it’s a podcast now…
Have been a huge fan of Mark Bazer’s The Interview Show, which is a bit of an IYKYK Chicago institution. Mark’s humor and approachable vibe always seems to unarm guests, resulting in a more authentic connection than you find on other talk shows. So thrilled to finally have a podcast option for shows I can’t make in person!
