Have you ever sent a text message to the wrong person or have been left at the alter (these days, who hasn’t)? If so, this episode is for you! And remember, just like every New Year, every emergency, is an opportunity to thrive.

Episode 2: Left at the Altar

Emergency Contact: Quarantine Edition Ep 9

"The Biz" Podcast Season 2 Finale: Something your ex would say that you did that annoyed them.

On this week’s episode of “The Biz"...the podcast where we interview someone from "the (entertainment) biz" and talk about anything BUT "the biz"....we sit down with all around gem/playwright/actress Jahna Ferron-Smith to talk writing, the state of the world, and the motherfucking hustle, ok? Listen up for some truth about the writing process, some giggles, and some stories of the ups and downs of this city we hate to love.

The Biz Podcast Season 2 Episode 3:  "Well, hello Sir"

This week on the Biz we sit down with our favorite multi-hyphenate, Peregrine Heard, to discuss family dynamics, setting boundaries, and our mutual love of therapy. Not only is it worth it just to hear the soothing timbre of Peregrine’s famous voice (she’s quite the voice-over artist, people), but she also brings immense wisdom and perspective to this conversation. Not to be missed!

The Biz Podcast Season 2 Ep 2: "For the love of therapy!"

Crosbie Roper

This week we sit down with Crosbie Roper who WE THINK has the coolest name of all time, hands down. We chat about childhood discipline, being biracial in show biz, and taking up the space you deserve. We could have talked to this treasure for hours, so get into it with us!

Special Guest: Crosbie Roper

It’s always a wild ride when the doctor is in. Our “series regular” Dan Solomon is BACK, and he’s got songs on songs, AND some medicine for us all. We had a delightful time with this human who should honestly have his own podcast... or talk show... or late night variety show. Listen up for some jokes, some pondering, and we aren’t kidding...some songs. He has a great voice.

"The Biz" Podcast Season 2 Ep 5: "My Episodes are Longer, Though."

On this very special Thanksgiving edition of ”the Biz,” Matt and Amanda interview (separately) the women who brought them into the world! In the kitchens of their homes! While cooking a Thanksgiving feast together! Our moms are definitely not in our *beep boop* Biz, but we get into what it’s like in their respective Biz-es, being a working mom, and the ups and downs of having a child in the arts (sorry, moms). These women are actual saints, and they are not holding back from spouting the wisdom.  Enjoy!

"The Biz" Podcast Season 2 Episode 9: "Just...Mamma Mia"

Sarah Blush
