My favorite books are autobiographies of people in show business , and these interviews are the beginning of those stories. Thank you for sharing how the sausage gets made! It’s my favorite part!

I tripped over this on social media during Alan’s Hadestown takeover, and I am hooked! I started with Reeve Carney, and look forward to listening to all of them. Alan has the emotional intelligence to bring out the best in each guest, skillfully moving them through their storytelling and never stepping on them. Great stories emerge!
Great Guests, Terrible Interviewer

The podcast has a great premise with a great guest list, but unfortunately, the interviewer / host is not up to par. When the interviewer speaks more than the person being interviewed, there’s an issue. (It makes listening very unenjoyable.) Take the Patti LuPone episode, for example. If you are lucky enough to have a theatrical legend on your show, you need to let her speak instead of saying what you would “imagine” her answer to be after every question. It was overall a TOUGH listen, especially when the interviewer (who was obviously out of touch with his interviewee) asked about the “‘Evita’ revival” that started the feud between Patti and Glenn Close. Really?! If your facts are that off, it might be time to make some changes in the planning process.
