    New Listener
    I was looking up an actor to find out more of their acting history and I am just taken aback at how caring the host is interviewing the actor. He’s clearly having a day and the host is just right there with him. I wish more hosts were actually this way. Being open and honest while showing kindness really goes a long way. Especially, when one word or phrase can just end your career. I’m just sad that I just came across it now. It looks like there are no new episodes. Either way, I highly recommend this podcast.

    Courageous
    All the TSP episodes are so brave and brilliant, but Joe Tracini was especially courageous. I want to thank him (and Craig) for the frankness and honesty.
  • Aprilsaysso
    Love
    Great conversations with Craig and all his guests. You really get to know them and feel like you’re hanging out and catching up with friends. One of my favorites.

    Life and art
    This remarkable podcast has inspired my work as a drama teacher and actor. The conversations are adventurous, surprising, and ultimately centering. Thank you for providing this meaningful source of community during such challenging times.

  • malfoxley

  • Nlkeati
    Fascinating stories of becoming
    Compelling real life stories of how actors, writers, or musicians became drawn to their creative world and remain active in it. Even if the guest artist isn’t familiar to me, the episodes always draw me in. Craig Parkinson does a fantastic job getting conversations to flow naturally. Often wish the show went on a bit longer and always worth listening.
  • Baklava22
    Great interviews with my favs
    Vicky McClure and Jodie Whittaker interviews got me in as I love these ladies work. Now I’m hooked. Great podcast. I don’t know a lot of the guests but always interesting. Love the accents 😊
  • Mo Moshaty
    Killer podcast, incredibly relatable.
    Late to discovering the podcast and I’ve skipped around a bit, but every episode is a gem. Completely honest and endearing with moments of sheer hilarity. The transparency of Craig and the guest’s journeys really makes it amazing listening and entirely relatable.

    My favorite acting podcast. EVER
    I don’t ever write reviews but I want, no I NEED, to thank you from the bottom of my ticker for this podcast. It’s focus on life experience, the journey, is totally unique and refreshing. I’m 44, went to drama school in my mid-20s in New York City, did a couple of guest spots last year on tv in my birthplace, Atlanta, but now I’m really struggling with whether to stay in it or even how to stay in it. I’ve been working in the writers’ room on a tv show in L.A. since December and was still taping for shows through my Atlanta agent who now isn’t even returning my messages so when your guests share their personal stories with passion and honesty and humor it’s like nourishment that’s keeping the dream alive for me. So thank you so much for this gift. I’m American and I’ll admit that although I watch a good deal of British television I’m not familiar with the majority of your guests by name but I’ve been discovering their work through your podcast and the internet. Then I’ll see if anything’s on the streaming services. If they mention a playwright whose work they appreciate I’ll run out to the library or Sam French to look for a title. Really fantastic to be exposed to new voices. A lot of your guests seem to come from modest, working class backgrounds. I myself grew up in the Southeastern U.S.A. No one I knew was an actor and if there were any after school drama clubs I certainly wasn’t exposed to them. Because we were videotaping skateboarding tricks we ran around with a video camera as kids, the kind you pop a VHS tape in, and began doing skits but being a professional actor wasn’t something that even entered my consciousness as a possibility. I’ve noticed with a lot of your guests, because of where they grew up and who they thought or were told their homes and upbringing made them, they didn’t really feel encouraged or like they belonged in the theatre or on television. If any podcast has voiced that struggle, which I can very much relate to, I’m not aware. I’ve certainly never heard it pressed with such truth and feeling as your guests and it really really resonates with me. Apologies for the long message. I’ll be sure to make a donation when I have the dough. Much love and appreciate. > Mark Los Angeles

    A Treasure
    Two episodes in and this is already my new favorite of Podcasts. It is a delight! Thank you!
  • Tina3W
    Leaves you ready for the next episode
    I started listening to this because I'm a Line of Duty fan, but I've been blown away by how great this podcast is. The guests have been fascinating. Craig's easy interview style makes them feel at ease and he guides the conversation so gently that it feels like you're just eavesdropping on a couple of friends chatting. I've listened to two episodes and am eagerly awaiting the release of the next one. I highly recommend this podcast. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and very touching. I've enjoyed finding out more about the journeys of the people I love to watch on the screen.
