“This show is Zany. It is unhinged (and deeply relatable) in its unflinching vulnerability to show what actually happens in our minds when we experience rejection and insecurity, as well as how we can shape those experiences into narratives that define our inner and outer lives. Perfect for...”Read full review »

“Such a great listen. Each episode interesting and well planned with a funny and interesting host at it’s centre. Connor weaves a tale from his pain early in his career and finds he’s not the only one with a ‘dead eyes’ story. In a business that is hard but so often about appearing to be doing...”Read full review »

“I cannot explain how much I needed to listen to this podcast at this particular point in my life. As an actor who faces rejection and failure constantly, this is a comforting tonic that offers insight into our bizarre industry and the humans at the centre of it.”

“I don’t care what you do for a living, we’ve all had our own dead eyes moment. This reminded me that the very thing I saw as personally tragic or humiliating was not necessarily viewed that way by others. Cathartic journey.”

Series - do it! It is MASTERFUL story telling, very funny, and insightful and so good that I didn’t want to listen to the final episode for so long just to preserve one final new ep. It goes to SO many places you’d...”Read full review »

“Ok so season 3 isn’t missing, but if you’re a dummy like me looking for it you get confused because it only has a season 1 and 2 listed in sections, and you have to go digging in the “all episodes” list to find the unlabelled season 3 episodes.
(This is the greatest podcast but please update...”Read full review »

In fact, their therapists are so improperly trained that they end up causing more harm by mismanaged...”Read full review »
