Customer Reviews
What a treat!
What a lovely surprise to come across my late grandfather, Jack Gilford, as a featured performer on your excellent program. I was searching for some creative inspiration in my shiny new adventure creating a new musical in Los Angeles. I would have been pleased regardless with the quality content of this podcast; seeing my grandfather and inspiration as fourth on the list was a gift from the universe I could not ignore. Thank you. -Max Gilford (Smerling) Hollywood.
