In this episode Mike and Eric review the podcast "Story Worthy" hosted by Christine Blackburn. Each week, as she's done for over 700 episodes, Christine talks to, laughs with and asks probing questions to Hollywood’s most talented comedians and entertainment writers. The opening banter is all a precursor to the reason people tune in, when each guest shares a true, personal story delivered to the best of their comedic ability. Why has this format lasted so long (11 years and counting)? What makes Christine so fun to listen to? What consistent strategy does she use during the first few minutes to "break the ice" and promote past episodes? How does she reel us in with the great titles she uses on each of her episodes? These questions and more are discussed in what has now become a mainstay in the Los Angeles podcasting scene.
For this review we will focus on episode #706 - The Dark Side of Disney with animator and podcaster Frank Sasso.

Minnie Questions with Minnie Driver

In this episode Mike and Eric review the podcast "Minnie Questions" hosted by actor Minnie Driver. Conceived in 2021, it is now in its second season. In this podcast, Minnie poses the same seven questions to each guest based on the famous Proust Questionnaire, a set of questions answered by the French writer Marcel Proust. Should you attempt a podcast where you ask the same question of each guest? Can you venture "off script"? Can this last? If the guest knows the questions ahead of time, does this reduce the spontaneity of the interview? These questions and more are discussed in this fun podcast whose host shows her wit, charm and intelligence while talking to politicians, entertainers, writers and journalists.
For this review we will focus on her May 19, 2021 episode where she talks to Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the UK and current Executive Chairman of the Institute for Global Change.
