Rob Benedict and Richard Speight Jr are well known on the “Supernatural” convention circuit as host of each weekend event. Their banter and chemistry as friends and emcees is apparent and cannot be denied.
When COVID-19 uprooted everyone’s lives and threw a wrench in the the plans for all group events, the two actors went into lockdown with the rest of us. They, also like the rest of us, struggled to find routine and structure in each day. When they settled their families in they began to treat us fans to at home virtual entertainment. It all began with Rob’s first solo Stage It show earlier this week.
Today the duo released episode one of their new podcast .”…And My Guest Is Richard Speight” this morning. The two spoke about Kenny Rodgers, how they are dealing with the lockdown, and how they are dealing with their kids at home. Their banter is just as good digitally as it is in person. It was a welcome surprise.
