What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m not a Hollywood follower but enjoy this podcast so much. Scott Feinburg is an excellent interviewer. He clearly does his homework and asks great questions. I learn a lot and it makes me feel more connected to the human behind the character. I highly recommend!

DNS N CLT · Jun 2026

Scott Feinberg’s research is meticulous. His questions are thoughtful and insightful and he really listens to his interviewees’ answers thereby creating incredibly inspiring and educational interviews. Add this pod to your weekly playlist. You won’t be disappointed.

Nan Lou Mac · Mar 2026

I have to say that I have heard hundreds of interviews with Springsteen and the questions at the end were the best questions I have ever heard him being asked. I don’t know if you asked people to give you ideas of what to ask but they were great. Loved that you asked if there is a certain place where he gets ideas to write. I always wondered the same thing. Nice work!

P Trem · May 2025

Scot is a talented interviewer and the podcast includes great guests. The only thing I find annoying and Scott's interview style is that many times he asks the guest a question and then goes on to explain why he is asking the question. Please ask the question and then stop talking so the guest can answer. If it is necessary to explain why you are asking a question, consider doing that before asking the question.

NH Schof · Feb 2025

Very disappointed in that this episode (“Saltburn”) was really an interview with the director and her work, and not a review or discussion of Saltburn. The host devoted the first hour to a general interview beginning with the insightful interview questions “Where were you born? What did your parents do for a living?” The last 25 mins did provide some discussion of Saltburn but after an hour of “chatter”, I was no longer interested.
