Customer Reviews
Kassie DePaiva Interview
It was wonderful hearing so many lovely stories that took place during Kassie’s long soap career, probably the most popular as Blair on “One Life to Live”. She discussed playing against the two Todd’s, both men having different approaches to the parts. Also, her upcoming two-day stint on “General Hospital” makes me want to watch because there are so many of the same characters still there after decades. I think I was most happy to hear that she and James DePaiva are still married and living in the country in the Catskills. I believe they met on “All My Children”. Kassie shared her highs and lows through a leukemia diagnosis in 2016, the heavy treatments and then a lumpectomy due to breast cancer. The woman who interviewed is the best, a real natural at her job. Don’t miss this interview.
Compelling Interviews!
This podcast offers compelling interviews from some of the most recognizable names in soapdom. One of the best things about it is that Stephanie and Maura allow the interviewee to complete their thought and/or tell a story about their life/career without interrupting them constantly! Many times when I listen to interviews, I am just getting interested in what the person is saying when the interviewer cuts in and redirects. It’s so frustrating because then the subject never finishes what they were originally saying. Thankfully, this doesn’t happen on Dishing With Digest. I’m a longtime soap fan since I was a kid, and it’s a kick to learn more about the lives and careers of all the soap actors I loved growing up in the 80s, 90s, and beyond. I listen during long walks and it makes the tie fly by!
Good Topics~Tough To Listen
I love the topics and interviews. However, the two ladies that host this podcast, their voices are not “made for radio.” As others have said here, lip smacking, nasal voices…tough on the ears, so distracting and unpleasant. Nonetheless, I’ve listened to episodes where I wanted to hear the interviews. Too bad, because they have fun topics and good inside info. Can’t change the nasal tones of their voices, but maybe hone some skills, be conscious of things like lip smacking. It’s almost like “Valley girl” talk…ouch, my ears!
