  • Just the best

    I can't believe how good this podcast is. It's pure entertainment, as Suzi is such a good and fun interviewer, but it also contains many amazing gems of knowledge I can use to help me improve as an improviser. I think even a non-improviser would love this show, as the stories from all these interesting people's lives are super engaging. Love it, love it!
