Stories you need to hear,
from the people who lived them.
We make Beyond the Mic with Sean Dillon — conversations with actors, musicians, comedians, and broadcasters that go past the press tour and into the parts that matter.
The Show
Sean does his homework. Guests notice.
Every conversation on Beyond the Mic starts with real preparation — the album cuts, the early roles, the seasons nobody asks about. That's why a blues legend, a Broadway lead, and a broadcaster who's called all four major sports end up saying the same thing: nobody's asked me that before.
However long you've got, the conversation comes to you — wherever you listen.
