For their debut episode, Drew and Alex invite accomplished actor and writer, David A. Gregory, to dive headfirst into a muddy conversation about grief. After the passing of David's father from Alzheimer's Disease in November of 2023, David is still wading in the muddy waters of loss. 

For those who have lost a family member, friend, sibling, coworker, or someone special, you understand that the stages of grief are non-linear and that every person's journey is different. Tune in as we get muddy and celebrate David's beautiful story.

Bio: Hailing from Fairbanks, Alaska, David is a New York-based actor and writer perhaps best known for playing Robert Ford on the long-running ABC soap opera One Life to Live. On TV, David has played recurring roles on CBS, Netflix, and NBC. Onstage, he's appeared in Breathing Under Dirt (directed by famed acting teacher Larry Moss), Twelve Angry Men, Angels in America, The Tempest, and Hartford Stage's Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike, earning a Connecticut Critics Circle Award nomination and the cover of American Theatre magazine.

Alex is a standup comedian. Drew is a Broadway performer. Together, they are your hosts for Into the Mud!

Alex and Drew met a million years ago in 2007 while studying abroad in Spain. They backpacked through Europe together, said farewell at an airport in Dublin in 2008, and didn't reconnect until 2018 while Drew was performing in Alex's then home, Chicago. 

One pandemic later, Alex and Drew rekindled their friendship when Alex moved to New York City. After too many cocktails, plenty of trauma bonding, and infinite stomach aches from laughter, Into the Mud Podcast was born!

Enjoy this short and brief introduction of your hosts before diving into Episode 1!
