Love the variety of guests and topics covered. Honest, insightful, and filled with natural humour! I’m an actor and I’ve found these conversations to be invaluable. I watch mainly via YouTube but great to have access to the episodes here. Thank you, and keep up the good work! 💯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve just started listening to An Actor Despairs and, in spite of the rather dark title, the show really provides a lot of interesting information related to the Acting Industry. Honestly, Antony Starr (Homelander from ‘The Boys’ and Lucas Hood from ‘Banshee’) recommends it and that’s all you...Read full review »

This podcast caters to the struggling artist and how to navigate the brutal life with insight from guests that have seen the worst and came out on top. Ryan is the best man to host it!

To the interviewer, You really seriously over powered this conversation. You are far too loud and answer too quickly and at many points just talked over Jena Malone Which is interesting because at the beginning of this episode you told her how much you looked up to her and then you never really...Read full review »

His podcast showed up in my feed and I was immediately hooked in with his interview with Tim Robbins. I’ve always been fascinated by Tim and this interview was the one thing to scratch the itch. Don’t sleep on this one it’s a great podcast.

Really, really interesting podcast. You can tell the host is seriously passionate about the art. I’m not technically in “The Industry” myself but I watch tv and movies, so I get to hear the stories of some of my favorite actors.
Cheynwatts via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/20
Ryan’s interview style and general approach is so subtle and remarkably relatable. His conversations with established, HUGE names are just as casually in-depth as those with the young, up and coming hot talent. I have discovered projects I didn’t know I would enjoy specifically through some of...Read full review »
