  • Older episodes can’t be found

    I was interested in listening to an older episode interviewing Jeff Daniels after listening to the John Goodman episode on the Off Camera website. Well looks like you can’t go below episode 175 or so when scrolling back. The episode also does not exist on the Off Camera website either, unless you’re willing to pay to watch the video version. So it seems you can’t listen to old episodes on the website, nor the podcast here on the Apple Podcasts app. I’m sure it’s the same for other apps too. Lam... more

  • I really appreciate how Sam lets his guests talk and share their stories without interruption. He's always clearly prepared and must make his guests feel comfortable because he gets really good, deep insights most of the time. Appreciate getting to hear the interviews with other actors especially.
