EP272: From Vaudeville to Netflix

Hollywood & Levine looks at the world of entertainment, pop culture, screenwriting, and life, and takes none of it seriously.  The point is to make you laugh, although useful information might accidentally slip through.  Hosted by Emmy-winning writer/baseball announcer/talk show host, Ken Levine, Hollywood & Levine will feature commentary, war stories on Ken’s career (MASH, Cheers, Frasier, Simpsons), interviews, writing advice, movie reviews, snarky award show recaps, tall tales from his baseball and radio career, segments from old broadcasts, improv sketches, answering listener questions, and more.   It’s a fun, fast-paced hour of humor, nonsense, and God knows what.
