Hollywood & Levine looks at the world of entertainment, pop culture, screenwriting, and life, and takes none of it seriously. The point is to make you laugh, although useful information might accidentally slip through. Hosted by Emmy-winning writer/baseball announcer/talk show host, Ken Levine, Hollywood & Levine will feature commentary, war stories on Ken’s career (MASH, Cheers, Frasier, Simpsons), interviews, writing advice, movie reviews, snarky award show recaps, tall tales from his baseball and radio career, segments from old broadcasts, improv sketches, answering listener questions, and more. It’s a fun, fast-paced hour of humor, nonsense, and God knows what.

Avis
Great Podcast - One of my favorites
Ken's podcast compliments his exellent blog "By Ken Levine". He is a long time Hollywood writer/ director / showrunner that has been involved is several of the "best sitcoms of all time". He has great guests from time to time.
Fun and Interesting
Ken Levine has to have one of the most varied backgrounds of any podcaster: TV and Movie Writer, TV Director, Playwright, DJ, and baseball announcer. Yet, he is so self deprecating and wryly humorous at the same time. He’s really good at interviewing people you’ve likely never heard of, but have seen or heard before, and opening up sides of the entertainment industry you might not know existed. There’s great stories and anecdotes delivered really well. This is a podcast I never miss.
Fun
Very entertaining. A nice break from true crime.
