This guy knows how to shut up! TOO MANY so-called « hosts » not only talk over their guests (ANY idiot can have a podcast - it’s FREE) but the primary reason they start one is to feel important (pathetic.) CHRIS KNOWS he’s making a valuable contribution to the performing arts and doesn’t need to...Read full review »

too important to miss
Nigel Robert via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/22/17
While dominated by magicians (my passion, as well as Mr. Sheppard's), the Successful PerformerCast also sprinkles in healthy doses of interviews with musicians, comedians and jugglers. The overarching theme of these hour-long discussions is how these primarily solo performance artists made the...Read full review »

Great podcast, I love to listen to and from gigs. Would love to hear more clowns/physical comedians a la Avner Eisenberg.

I have listened to so many other "magic" and "business" podcasts over the years. Most of them start art great and either die or wander off into other topics that don't apply to my needs. Kris' podcast seems (at least for me) to provide a perfect blend of interesting stories and relevant...Read full review »

Kris Sheppard’s Successful Performercast is a thoroughly entertaining and informative series that sheds light on our mysterious craft by a fellow who knows the field.
MAKEMOREJUNGLEDREAMS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/15
I've been listening to these podcasts from the beginning and at first I didn't know what to think. Kris was obviously an amateur who lacked polish, stumbled through his words, and seemed to be reciting everything right from a script written by a second-grader. Those were my initial thoughts. ...Read full review »

Sometimes I have to turn off the podcast when driving or when I'm rushing getting ready for a gig because the podcast information is so good, that I'll need to come back to it when I'm able to take notes. Jill "Silly Jilly" Schmidt

There are some great performers on this, and I think that by taking bits and pieces from other performers’ wisdom, we can all our own performances. Well done Kris.
