Host Izzy interviews actress Chloe Fox about her lead role as Celeste in Paramount’s thriller The Highest Stakes, her audition experience, and how she connected to the character. Chloe discusses her love of psychological thrillers and comedy, her training at Emile Dale Academy, and her early break through commercials and Find Me in Paris.

Fox shares her initial experience with the script, having received only one or two scenes without context. This lack of background led her to interpret Celeste's character in a more sinister light at first, realizing later that the character took on a different essence as she became more familiar with the storyline.

When asked what initially drew her to the project, Fox highlights her affinity for psychological thrillers, noting the initial confusion and intrigue of the scene she auditioned with. This element of uncertainty in storytelling was appealing to her. Additionally, her personal interactions during the auditions—with the producer Stephen Paul and fellow cast member Eloise—left her with a favorable impression of the project's collaborative environment. After securing the role, Fox finally had the chance to read the complete script, enhancing her connection to the storyline and her character.

Host Izzy interviews Anthony B. Jenkins about his role as Devante in the final season of The Chi, his work in the Hulu film Their Fight, and other notable credits.

Anthony discusses his acting journey from age four, his training, approach to character work ('life not lines'), and his love for underdog roles and character development.

He shares practical audition advice—keep going and stay on your path—talks about his NAACP Image Award nomination, and describes his dream to work in fast-paced action roles.

For our latest spotlight series episode, host Jayden speaks with artist Tanis about her upcoming single, "The Bad One," set to release on June 12.

Tanis reflects on the creative journey of the single, revealing that she wrote and composed it two years ago but had left it in her backlog of unfinished demos. After revisiting the song late last year, she felt it needed a producer's touch and collaborated with Danny Monk, who helped enhance the pulsing bass line. This collaboration marked a significant growth for Tanis as she usually works alone, and she expresses excitement about this new musical direction, claiming it feels like an essential step forward in her artistic evolution.

The conversation also touches upon Tanis' recognition in the industry, highlighted by her recent Broadcast Production Award for her composition "Wildcard." She describes the unexpected joy of receiving this award and shares the backdrop of her experience in Los Angeles, where she worked with a woman-run music composition company on projects for music licensing. The piece "Wildcard" was commissioned for one of their albums, leading to her award win, which she proudly displays in her studio.

This episode showcases Tanis's artistic journey, her collaborative efforts in music production, and her professional achievements.
