“This is my favourite podcast. Even though I'm a musician and not an actor, I just love the honesty on this podcast! How the actors admit to going months without work, or how they spend years without an agent or any support. And how hard that can be. And how connections are still a very vital...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast, and I hate exercise, so The Honest Actor gets me through what would be a mind numbing session on my elliptical. I work in the theatre, but most of my life in dance; my son is a young actor and I ‘honestly’ think I’ve been able to share some great insights, and better...”Read full review »

“Amazing insight into the side of acting that you wouldn’t hear about in any other interviews. Great for non actors but especially great for actors to remember you’re not alone in the highs, lows, frustrations and triumphs. Brilliant. And Jonathan is an awesome host with a sexy voice. Get it...”Read full review »

Every guest has a story worth hearing and as much as I wish everyone had an easy time in the business and feel a bit bad saying this, it is comforting to learn that even the most successful performers have struggles...”Read full review »
