Best In Philly · Jul 2025

If you are an improvisor, like improv, or like comedy, you will love this podcast! Suzi is such an amazing interviewer and has a talent of getting to the human behind the comedian. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will go “oh wow” at all the comedy history that gets uncovered on this pod.

Macklemore93 · May 2025

As someone barely in the second year of my ~*~improv journey~*~*, I can’t overstate HOW insightful this podcast is. Suzi is such a smart host that every episode shines, even when I’m unfamiliar with the guest’s work. This podcast makes me excited to do improv haha

alexis overalls · Sep 2024

As someone who pods about similar things, I really appreciate Suzi’s genuine curiosity and intent listening. It’s funny but never feels like it’s trying — and also unapologetically nerdy in the best way.
