Thanks For Coming In joins the Realm family as the podcast approaches 100 episodes

LOS ANGELESAug. 3, 2022PRLog — Whimsical Entertainment, an eclectic production company for films and new media helmed by actress/producer Jillian Clare, today announced an exclusive distribution deal with Realm for the podcast Thanks For Coming In. Created during the early days of the global pandemic from her home studio, the podcast is the brainchild of Clare who also hosts the weekly interview show.  Each episode features a new guest who shares an audition story – sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and sometimes it’s the one big role that got away

With nearly 100 episodes in the can and released, Clare, a veteran of more than two decades in the entertainment industry as an actor, director and producer, shared her insight on penning the deal with Realm. “I’m so excited to be joining the Realm family of content creators!  I am someone who always needs to be doing something, and this podcast really helped me through the lock down. I love that I get to talk to old and new friends every week and I’m so happy that listeners have been having as much fun as I have!” She concluded “Realm is an incredible company and I couldn’t ask for a better home for the show.”

Nicole Kreutter, Realm’s Studio Operations Manager, said: “We are so excited to welcome Thanks for Coming In and Jillian Clare to our growing roster of independent podcasts. Jillian’s thoughtful discussions with fellow actors every episode aligns perfectly with Realm’s goal to share diverse stories with our listeners. We are looking forward to introducing these stories to a new audience.”
