EdwardWJSmith ,

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred reasons to listen love this show!!

If you love musical theatre or the performing arts then you will LOVE this podcast.

It’s full of emotion, humour and wicked behind the scenes chatter. William is clearly a passionate advocate and supporter of the theatre but above all else he is just a fan meeting his favourite stars of the stage… and we get to listen in!

Really love this show, keep up the awesome work.

Fab interviews, needs shorter intro

I love the interviews - always so friendly and insightful. My only criticism is that recently the introduction has got so much longer, summarising pretty much every point of the discussion.

Unique podcast

Don’t listen to many podcasts, nor do I listen to many interviews, but eleven really books me - William has such a wonderful way of interviewing which feels like you’re listening to two old friends having a chat rather than an actor being interviewed.
