145. Tracie Thoms Has Questions… and We Has Answers. Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

This week, actress Tracie Thoms joins us to turn the tables and ask some of the questions actors have been wanting to ask casting.

We get nostalgic about the days of pilot season and unpack just how much the audition process has changed—from waiting rooms and in-person connection to self-tapes and auditioning in isolation. Tracie shares what that shift has felt like from the actor’s side, while we pull back the curtain on what casting directors are navigating behind the scenes.

What’s working? What have we lost? And in an industry that’s changed so dramatically, what does meeting in the middle actually look like?

It’s an honest, funny, and much-needed conversation about where casting and actors are now—and where we go from here.

Show notes

Join us this week as Chris Kula, the writer of the most current season of Jury Duty: Company Retreat! He also shows off his impressive range as he dabbles into the acting world playing, Lee, the Troukas sidekick in the hit television series, now playing on Amazon!

He shares his journey starting at UCB and making the move to LA from NYC right before the writers strikes in 2008. Then we dissect the season and get all the BTS gossip from the source himself. We are obviously big fans of the show but to see how amazing he was at forming the story and seeing it all come together in real time was really lovely to chat about!
