"As a producer for Alec Baldwin's Here's The Thing- I recognize talent when I hear it and Walker Vreeland is a fabulous host.  He's funny, intelligent, kind and most important - he listens!

-Judy Carmichael, Grammy nominated jazz musician

"I loved being interviewed by Walker Vreeland who feels like a friend (and is a friend) you are just hanging with, but asks the hard questions and teases things out in a way that makes you wonder why you have been paying for therapy for just shy of a decade. He is born to do this!"
