Hosts Jonathan and Leslie talk about the unsung workers of entertainment — the performers and crew who aren’t household names but keep the industry running.

They take a mystery-agent call about a new actor who booked a big commercial independently, then faced a 10% commission demand AFTER signing with an agency, and they stress the importance of reading contracts and advocating for yourself.

The episode also covers what makes a great host or spokesperson, hiring advice for producers, and invites listener stories as the show aims to demystify show business.
