Wonderful podcast. Carolyn is a class act. Bradford – what vocal cords! I think that Robin should write a tell-all book about the final days of OLTL.

Brian Greene

Thanks For A Wonderful Podcast, Michael, Carolyn, & Bradford! 🙂

Christopher

Great Post!

Heidi

Another awesome podcast! Truly enjoyed it! Thank you for having Bradford on he is one of my favorites! As always Carolyn is wonderful. The interviews were great especially Robin’s and the show was jam packed with great conversation. Thanks Michael!

Hey,Michael. I loved your podcast. First of all, I liked your opening music very much. I hope you will play more of that ,next podcast. Carolyn, your stalwart, is so smart and witty. Plus to have Bradford on with her was a treat, especially to hear them talk about the book., The Secret Life of Damien Spinelli. Carolyn must be thrilled that the book is number 10 on the best seller list. Is there anything she can’t do? When I heard Bradford’s singing, I couldn’t believe my ears. He has a great voice! I didn’t know about the group Port Chuck and that the guys from GH had made a recording and were on the road. Fantastic! Also , Lisa Lo Cicero that beautiful girl from GH that was your guest said ,she is in the book of Spinelli. I haven’t seen or read the book, but it sounds like a trip. Have to buy it. My favorite part of the podcast was Stump The Soapers, with Brad supplying the questions from the book. I was very amused that everytime you buzzed in, you and Carolyn were both wrong, and she wrote the book. It was hilarious. The other highlight was having Robin Strasser on and hearing her emotional comments about the cancellation of OLTL.. and yet being very realistic. She was also telling the fans not to blacklist the soaps because of those cancellations and keep watching their soap. Very good advice!! I love Dorian and when she left Clint as he was having a heart attack and getting the information she needed. She was so good at teasing him . It bordered on evil. And your last guest, Emily O’Brien, was kind of mixed emotions for me because I watch Y&R and have wanted her story line to be over, even though she has played her part brilliantly. I wonder if you guessed right, Michael, of how she exits the show. I think you might be . We shall see. I was thinking that, too. All in all ,your podcast was jammed packed with good and fun entertainment, Michael. I liked it so much. Good going! Till next time……

heidi

Michael really missing the podcast… when is the next one? Have been reading comments on FB and is it true that Laura Wright is leaving GH? Please find out and she would be a great guest for the next podcast.
