Hollywood Confessional
Hollywood secrets... anonymously told.
"You'll never work in this town again."
For decades, those words -- or the sentiment behind them -- have cloaked all manner of evil in the entertainment industry.
As the #MeToo, #TimesUp, #PayUpHollywood, and many other movements demonstrate, times are changing. Yet there are countless things happening behind closed doors that people feel they can't talk about and wish they could.
This podcast changes all that. Actors, writers, crew members and support staffers reveal their wildest behind-the-scenes secrets on this podcast in total anonymity. And then you get to listen to their stories.
Hosted by writer-producers Meagan Daine and J.R. Zamora-Thal, the Hollywood Confessional is a biweekly podcast by Ninth Way Media. New episodes drop every other Thursday. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Connect on social media @fessuphollywood!

I woke up at 5.30 this morning.
Speaker 2Oh, that's my life I hate it.
Speaker 1What happened to you? I got anxious about not having I hadn't like washed my sheets in like two weeks. That's what was making you anxious. Yeah, it was bad, I understand. So I threw my sheets in the laundry. Goodbye. No, not like that. Come on now.
Speaker 2I like to keep a good schedule. You got up at 5.30 in the morning to throw your sheets in the laundry.
Speaker 1I was having an anxiety attack and that was the only thing that would have been.
Speaker 2I'm sorry, I'm not being sympathetic.
Speaker 1I apologize there was nothing gross about it. Sorry to hear that.
Speaker 2I hope that washing your sheets made you feel better.
Speaker 1Telling the story. Now I understand how it sounds. Wait, are we still recording?
Speaker 2Hello Hollywood. Faithful, it is your favorite, not at all panicking podcast priest here, megan Dane.
Speaker 1And JR's a morethole and, believe it or not, we are still recording here at the Hollywood Confessional.
Speaker 2Yes, like the industry, our show went through some major changes last year, but we are back with some much needed soul cleansing confessions.
Speaker 1Forgive me, father, for I brought notes on this bitch.
Speaker 2This fucking sex pest is in charge of all these stories that get told on his massively popular network. And not only that, but he's getting paid a shit ton of money.
Speaker 1Look, you had to pay your dues in Hollywood, but there's a difference between paying your dues and eating shit. And some amazing interviews with people making Hollywood a happier place.
Speaker 2We have Liz Shalan Alper and Alex Rubin today from Pay Up Hollywood. We are so super excited to have you guys on the podcast. I'm sorry I'm laughing so hard. I just keep thinking like bless me, daddy. I don't know why.
Speaker 1It's not that kind of podcast.
Speaker 2We're also thrilled to announce two new members to our team AJ Thall, our editor, and some relation or other.
Speaker 1He's my brother.
Speaker 2Wow, that really surprises me. He's so cool.
Speaker 1And keeping me from strangling my co-hosts, the founder of Green Envelope Grocery Aid and our new co-producer, Joelle Garfinkel.
