Jodi Long - Trailblazing Star Actress of Stage, Film, and Television, and esteemed SAG-AFTRA Leader.
Jodi Long was born in New York into a family of entertainers, trained in the craft in high school through college, and manifested an amazing career as a star actress on stage, and in TV and film. For many years, she has served as a local and national leader of SAG-AFTRA, working to create more opportunities for, and support, under-represented communities of performers.

The indestructible Pete Antico, SAG-AFTRA LA Local Board member.

He's an accomplished performer, both in stunts and principal on-camera acting, which is an inspiration and an incredible story for a Sicilian boy from Queens, New York with Tourette Syndrome. He also possesses a wealth of knowledge about SAG, SEG, AFTRA, and SAG-AFTRA, so grab a cuppa, sit back, and enjoy.

Anjelika Washington (Tall Girl, Stargirl, Moxie) & Lauren Elyse Buckley
This chat with Anjelika Washington will make you raise your game. Brought to us by Lauren Elyse Buckley, we discuss her unassailable work ethic, investment in herself and her training, what it's like to break through to being a working actress, and so much more. I met Anjelika years ago when she'd first moved to LA, and it's so fun to see her progression and have the randomness of life bring her into my life again. ENJOY. And TAKE NOTES.

Emmy-winning Sound Pro Jack Levy & Actress Lara Gold
Emmy Award-winning Supervising Sound Editor Jack Levy joins me and actress Lara Gold for an amazing discussion about all things sound, loop groups/walla (don't know what that is? I didn't either and you NEED to know), performance in the studio or booth, and so much more. Jack works with the biggest names in the business and has run point on the post-production sound of dozens of top network TV series and films.
Jack is not only an industry pro, but a dear friend and mentor, always asking, "How can I help?" Another example of how the best in the business are often the nicest and most awesome people too.
