A podcast focusing on actors and the Hollywood lifestyle has been engulfed by its own self-indulgence.
The Actor ‘Cast started in early 2022 with a rotating roster of well-known TV and movie actors, with the aim to give listeners a taste of a professional actor’s lifestyle and inside information on upcoming projects.
Unfortunately, that noble goal was quickly forgotten as the featured actors (who have all worked together on various projects) started disappearing up their own arses with in-jokey tales about them and their celebrity mates, as well as praising each other on their best roles.
Sarah Livingstone, who hosts the podcast (and works behind-the-scenes in Hollywood), knew the writing was on the wall early.
”Things started to derail after the fouth episode. I tried to start a topic about the Oscars and that led to 60 minutes of stories of who has the best after parties and who gives the best [REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS] and the longest [REDACTED],” said Sarah.
With the first season almost finished, Sarah has given up pretending to care about the podcast’s quality. “All I do now is introduce the guests and sit back and play games on my phone or catch up on emails for 90 minutes. If I let the guests do whatever they want and don’t interrupt, then they invite me to lunch or dinner after the show. They still talk absolute nonsense full of blatant name dropping, but at least I get a nice meal and a few cheeky wines.”
Everyday News is a brand new general news/parody section of The Gurgler, and definitely not a lame rip-off of ‘The Betoota Advocate’. We swear.
