Middling with Eden and Brock

Middling w/ Neil Flynn


He's tall, he's funny, he's offended Patricia Heaton was on the podcast before him. Please welcome Mike Heck himself, Neil Flynn! Eden and Brock sit down with your favorite TV dad to discuss his journey to LA, finding his place in the improv community, and his casting experience. Plus, Neil shares the times he had to stand up for Mike and push for script changes.


You can now buy ONE-OFF extended episodes on Patreon! So if a monthly subscription isn't in the cards at the moment, you're able to buy singular episodes for $3/ep -- either the extended audio or extended video option! That's all happening at Patreon.com/MiddlingPod.


Ehlert Members, no Live Watch this month. But you're still getting a bonus episode on Dec. 29th, just for you!


All that and much more, so let's get to Middling!
