Naomi Snieckus

Broadcast Date – March 28, 2018

Well, what a treat it was to connect with today’s very busy guest – award-winning actress, writer, improviser, voice-over artist, director, teacher and without question kindred spirit Naomi Snieckus. I first met this talented lady on the Halifax set of her hit CBC series MR.D. Naomi plays Phys-Ed teacher Bobbi Galka and she’s a riot at it! Naomi and the gang will return to the less-than-hallowed halls of Xavier Academy to film the 8th and final Season of MR.D this summer so we’ll chat with her about that. Plus we talk about her hit made-for-TV movie Z-O-M-B-I-E-S that just premiere to smash ratings on the Disney Channel and we’ll get the scoop on not one but two cool podcasts she’s got on the go – FIRECRACKER DEPARTMENT that features the brightest female minds in show business and BARAM & SNIECKUS which features the funniest folks around – co-hosts by 2 Canadian comedy greats Naomi and her hilarious husband Matt Baram. She’s got all that and she’s out in LA creating even more if you can believe it. There’s plenty of wonderful stuff to chat about and with plans to squeeze in a round of INsights IN 10 with Ms.S – I say let’s get to it – here’s my telephone conversation with the one and only Naomi Snieckus!
