“I don’t know how many times Ken can close a show requesting his listeners to leave a review before I actually do it. I guess I’m always basking in the enjoyment of the episode to remember to do it. I love HOLLYWOOD AND LEVINE. Ken Levine brings his decades of experiences as a television writer, baseball enthusiast, and playwright and uses it as a jumping off point to, well… talk about whatever he’d like. You never know what you’ll listen to from week to week. Perhaps a series of anecdotes about his years of writing for classic shows like MASH, CHEERS, and FRASIER. Maybe he’ll read one of his plays. Perhaps he’ll give an interview. But these are rarely interviews with participants doing the press rounds on every other podcast you listen to. Maybe he’ll speak someone running a pirate radio station out of his garage, or an actor who appeared on one of his long canceled shows to help shed light on their experience in and around the business. Sometimes Ken will provide readings of his plays. And all of this takes place in roughly 30 minutes a week, too short a time if you ask me. In addition to this, Ken is excellent at engaging with his fans. You got a question for him? Shoot him an email and in all likelihood he’ll be happy to respond to it. The television landscape has changed and not many participants of its various golden ages are still around to tell tales. I love listening to Ken’s stories. The man has one of the best voices in the business. Give him a go. You surely won’t be disappointed.”
