Tom and D – The Only Entertainment Podcast That Admits It’s Faking It
Ever wonder how people really make it in the entertainment business, or just business, or even in life? So do Tom and D. These two long-time friends have somehow carved out careers in the industry—despite feeling like total hacks. Are they talented? Lucky? Just really good at faking it? They’re not sure either, but they’re willing to talk (and laugh) about it.
Each episode, Tom and D swap stories, roast each other, and wade into the messy, hilarious world of entertainment and business — sometimes tackling more serious topics, always with a comedic twist. They’re joined by a mystery guest each week — whether an industry insider, a rising star, a health and wellness expert, or just someone with an unforgettable story — because, honestly, surprises make everything better.
If you like behind-the-scenes chaos, and two guys questioning their own life choices, Tom and D is your new favorite listen.
