Where Mentors on the Mic: Your guide to pursuing a career in the Entertainment industry ranks today in each Apple Podcasts chart (US, Oct 5, 2026).
A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
If you love hearing the stories behind how movies actually get made, Mentors on the Mic is a must-listen. The conversations explore every part of the creative process in a way that feels honest, genuine, and engaging.
The host has a real gift for making guests feel comfortable, so every interview feels like you're sitting in the room with them. She's funny, genuinely curious, and you can tell how much she loves film. You get insights from filmmakers, directors, and actors that you wouldn't normally hear.
I also love the red carpet interviews she does at the Tribeca Film Festival—they're spontaneous, hilarious, and show a side of people you don't usually get to see.
I'm always excited for a new episode, and this podcast has become part of my morning routine. If you love film and want a real behind-the-scenes look at the industry, I couldn't recommend it more.

I stumbled upon this podcast and I haven’t been able to stop listening. I love love love the discussions, the questions, the advice, the honesty, the humor, the reality. I think I’ve listened to almost every episode (or very soon). Thank you for creating this for the artists, Michelle. So encouraged, inspired, and entertained! You’re a great interviewer and person!!!!!!

Michelle hosts THE essential podcast for actors who want to truly understand the business of acting. The caliber of guests she brings on is unparalleled, and their insights are shared with an honesty and depth that’s rare to find. Every episode is a masterclass, covering topics that are crucial for any actor striving to succeed in this industry.
As a soon-to-be graduate of The Neighborhood Playhouse’s 2-year conservatory in NYC, I’ve absorbed a plethora of invaluable lessons from both Michelle and her guests, lessons that have given me a deeper, more confident understanding of what’s expected of actors by those actively casting and producing. In many ways, this podcast has felt like double-majoring while in acting school, giving me an education that goes beyond the craft and into the reality of building a career.
Michelle, your generosity in sharing this wealth of knowledge is something I, and so many others, are incredibly grateful for. Thank you for everything you do. I’m forever in your debt!

One of my favorite podcasts! My daughter is a teen actress in LA and we love listening to Michelle’s interviews. She asks all the right questions and her guests openly share advice and success stories. Real world actionable ideas that you won’t find in a classroom or textbook. Keep up the great work Michelle!
