Customer Reviews
Celebs Loving on Each Other
I’m not sure who this guy is, but I just sounds like two celebs having a conversation where they just constantly are telling each other how great they are and how great it is to be a celebrity. They talk about OTHER Celebrities by first name like we are supposed to know who the hell they are talking about. This should have been a phone call, not a show.
Not Good
I am surprised with all the 5 star reviews. I see this as just a forum for Brian to talk to his industry hack friends about the "creative journey".
Superb
This is a fantastic podcast. Insightful interviews that winnow into the soul of the guest. Brian, please interview Simmons at some point.
