Child stars on our television

Really enjoyed this podcast so insightful into a world that I’ve always been interested in but never fully embraced acting until I was a teenager doing community theatre and onward into my thirties. Will be even Stevens growing up and girl next door was a pivotal part of my freshman year in high school.Was scrolling through and sad to see that this podcast stopped in 2021 but I’ve been binge podcasting from the beginning because I only learned about this through pajama pants (Yeah I’m behind) love it guys.
I hope by the time I reach the recent
there’ll be more. One can only hope
