Tell Me About It is a podcast with comedian/radio host Marianne Sierk and director/producer Steve-Tell-Me-About-It-Willis. Each week one of them tells the other something they learned, read or watched and they break it down like only two friends that have known each other for 20 plus years can.
Steve refuses to join ANYTHING. He will not use hashtags, do a Zoom meeting or watch Tiger King. Marianne will do all of those things. Steve tells Marianne about his favorite new show and they talk about the thing on everyone's mind these days.....dogs!

Due to technical difficulties Marianne and Steve couldn't record this week so here's their first ever podcast they recorded in 2019 and never released! Before "Tell Me About It" they did a podcast where they broke down Academy Award Winning movies and talked about what they loved and hated from them. There was no shortage of hate for the movie "Love Story" starting with the theme song and main line "Love means....never having to say you're sorry!" It's a fun one and a Steve and Marianne CLASSIC!!!
