inside show business

Sure. Everybody knows the performers; the singers, the actors, etc. 

But what about the people that actually make the industry move? These are producers, agents, promoters, writers - the ones who often work behind the scenes, crafting things that we love. However, many times, we never know who they are or hear their fascinating stories. 

In this new podcast, Michael Amidei, host of "World Poetry Open Mic", "This Business Of Music & Poetry", and "The Michael Amidei Show" engages in engaging and interesting conversations with the colorful characters who inhabit the world inside show business.
