“The interviews that Justin does are extremely well thought out and at the same time he can deviate, flush out some great stories, and return to the original narrative.
One of the things that I enjoy the most is the idea behind the podcast for people to come on and share their stories for future...”Read full review »

“After listening to other podcasts, I’ll say, hands down Former Action Guys podcast is the best. Being a former Anglican myself and hearing the stories of others that served in theater in or around the same time i served, takes me back. Thank you and continue on with your amazing podcast”
