Fun and open dialog with some of the best that TV and Broadway has to offer! Love the candid and silly conversations with some of my favs from the Hallmark Channel, too. Those are some of my favorite episodes! This podcast is worth a listen!

If you love baseball (and why wouldn’t you?) and love Broadway… you’ll love this podcast! It’s a little New York centric, but so is Broadway. Highly recommended!

Such a cool concept and amazing roster of guests. Al Malafronte really knows how to bring out the best in all of their personalities, and ignites conversation that’s so much more engaging than standard run of mill interview content. Super charismatic and funny too!
