“Ken Levine has to have one of the most varied backgrounds of any podcaster: TV and Movie Writer, TV Director, Playwright, DJ, and baseball announcer. Yet, he is so self deprecating and wryly humorous at the same time. He’s really good at interviewing people you’ve likely never heard of, but...”Read full review »

“I listen to a lot of podcasts every week but Hollywood & Levine is the only one I can’t wait to hear each Wednesday when Renaissance Man, Ken Levine, drops his new episodes. The hour always goes by too fast, is always entertaining and usually teaches me a new thing or two. And you can’t beat...”Read full review »

He started as a Top 40 DJ, transitioned into television comedy writing for some of the most prestigious shows ever (such as MASH, Cheers, and Frazier), took a detour as a Major League Baseball announcer, and is now a blogger and...”Read full review »

But his podcast highlights the people behind the scenes - critics, writers, producers - who make it all happen.
