Rory is a great interviewer, and I love hearing so much about CMU and his experience since I also went there. Love the convos, love how they get into the nitty gritty of the industry, and love the Rachel bloom and Donna Lynne episodes! ♥️♥️♥️

I heart theatre podcasts and this is one of the best. Fascinating interviews with working actors of varying fame - lots of nitty gritty details about training, ups/downs of the industry, process, the realities of being a working actor. Rory is friends with so many of the people interviews and the camaraderie makes for charming and often humorous "insider" moments. I love it.
