Fascinating stories!

Allen Bruess has assembled SUCH an amazing collection of stories from all kinds of entertainers in the fair industry. Stories that are touching, hilarious and unexpected. Really enjoyed the Terry Fator one. Well done and looking forward to more!

Fantastic Depth

One of the best features of Alan's podcast is that he regularly goes for depth, not width. So he really gets into a subject with his guests.

Fantastic information.

Entertaining!

Great show, and it's definitely much more that a show for performers! Particularly enjoyed one of your earlier episode where you share how you overcame your fear of public speaking. Keep it going Alan!
