Love that you're a writer, and you have all of these ventures. I'm a writer, too ! I would love to read some of your books and connect with nice to meet a fellow writer
“With adhd when someone tells us a story, we respond in a story” This spoke to my soul and I heard you. The way I’ve been needing others to hear me. This was an amazing interview. Sobbed with you girls ❤
Oh Jasmine we love this review, if you're keen for more words of encouragement we highly recommend Em's other 5 part podcast series "Anomalous with Em Rusciano". It's her love letter to the neurodivergent community and has HEAPS of brilliant content and info within, it's also a fabulous resource for family and friends who are neurotypical and are keen to understand the ND experience, we think you'd LOVE IT!!
Fork am I autistic because I've done this my whole life and sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's received negatively like I'm making it all about me when I'm just trying to show that I understand the other person.
Funny how many people hear Em talk about her ND experience and get a total “hey that’s me too” moment, the woman has some skills when it comes to connecting with others
thank u for telling cynthia that she literally was in the movie the real representation of the people who are rejected from society for being different. i was so related to elphaba in the movie. ariana also did a great and incredible job, but cynthia was everything to me. i’m literally crying in this minute. so happy you have the chance to interviewing them. ❤
It was such a hard thing growing up adhd without being understood and treated like i should be in a mental ward was rough. now im embraced and i do embrace it as well. It's who we are
Friggen LOVE THIS, that's why Em advocates for herself and speaks up about it all the time, the more it's mentioned, the more it's understood and supported. You'd love Em's Press Club Address (linked below) and her podcast "Anomalous with Em Rusciano" too we think, perfect resources for sharing with family and friends who wanna learn more about being ND or to just learn more about yourself, enjoy lovely. ua-cam.com/users/live4v88Wd20GiU?si=d9mB-BZiTUYwQrd2
i’ve been a fan of ariana for 10 years and this is my favourite and the best interview i’ve seen with her ! you are such an incredible interviewer ! and I am also autistic and haven’t seen an interviewer talk about their diagnosis so that meant a lot to me too - thank you for this video !! 💞
That whole interview with Ari and Cynthia was absolute chaos and perfection. And then Cynthia started bawling and that set me off! 😭😭 Also, Ari pulling handfuls of tissues saying "oh Jesus Christ" 😂 amazing, Em! You did it!!
As a person who has an autistic brother and who understands the struggle, I think you did a phenomenal job with this interview you were the truest purest version of yourself and they felt it I felt and as a person who related alot to elphaba I agree with what your saying keep being you your beautiful
Our pleasure lovely, if you’re recently diagnosed you should totally check out Em’s 5 part series “Anomalous with Em Rusciano” it’s Em’s love letter to the ND community and what she wished she had on hand when she was first diagnosed. Great for helping explain the ND experience to family and friends too. Enjoy
i’m so proud of this host for being SO honest. especially when she shared what Cynthia did for her at 20:19. i cried for like 4 minutes because i could relate. seriously, thank you, because this was one of the most unorthodox interviews that i never knew i needed. the way Cynthia & Ariana handled it was priceless ❤
Oh this interview is so special. The first I’ve seen where Cynthia connected so closely with the interviewer. Ariana and the tissue moment was so beautiful. Theatre kids felt scene in this moment truly.
I didn't think I would cry, but i had tears streaming down my face as soon as Em and Cynthia had their moment - such a great interview Em, loved both of them- your authenticity really shines through and rubs off on everyone 💚🩷
As a queer theatre kid and ND only diagnosed in the last few years I NEVER clocked Elphaba and Glinda being adhd and asd and now it all makes SO MUCH SENSE AHHH it’s made me feel even closer to the story and I appreciated this and felt so seen. Thankyou. 💚💖
When I first saw Wicked at the theatre - I had to message them afterwards to say how I have my own 'Elphaba'. My daughter is autistic and always felt the odd one out and alone. And showing how you only need one true friend and one person who loves you and sees who you are inside. It really meant everything to me. When I took my daughter - she just loved it too ❤
Em, I'm brand new to your channel. You are precious. You brought your heart into that interview with Cynthia and Ari. I loved it! Both interviews were great. You're passionate about the play and film and it shows. Be yourself. Don't hold back.
Very well said... Your comment is exactly what I wanted to type on my hand was shaking so badly from my over-excited emotions. Thank you for putting the words down that flying through my head. It's amazing to me the constant healing power of Oz and it's fantastic adaptations... I would not be the person that I am without this fundamental story I'm finding home in friendship and love. I just subscribed Aunty Em and I'm a new fan! You are an interview blessed and gave those fine actors and singers what they needed to know that they did what they wanted to do with this material bravo!
Love that you've subscribed, there's so much to enjoy from Em & Michael in here and on Spotify & Instagram, plus we have a delightful Facebook Group of lovely Emsolators to interact with too.
This being such a sad day for the world, I never expected to find something that made cry happy tears, thank you so much for this. No one who sees this interview could doubt the authenticity of your joy over this movie and how it turned out. As a die-hard Wicked fan myself, I can finally relax, because I know it's gonna be the movie I've always dreamed of. Desperately counting down the days till I finally get to see it 💚💖💚💖💚💖💚💖
Love this message, make sure you check out Em's other podcast about her late stage AuDHD diagnosis if you haven't already, its fabulous and it's called 'Anomalous with Em Rusciano'
this is the funniest interview I’ve watched on this press tour you show their realistic funny side and you are a phenomenal interviewer,Thankyou for this!!!
This is the single best interview of the Wicked press tour, I’m calling it now 🙌 THANK YOU so much for showcasing our neurodivergent community so beautifully, it means so much ❤
WOAH this is so lovely, Em will ALWAYS champion magic brains, make sure you check out her podcast Anomalous with Em Rusciano, perfect introduction to ADHD for the newly diagnosed or for friends and family who might not know much about our beautiful brains and wanna learn more. Thanks YOU for your lovely message.
As a neurodivergent wicked girlie i genuinely only just realised because of this video the connection to the two witches and myself you where you lovely to the four of them also this is the best interview ive seen for wicked 💗💚
By FAR the best interview this promotion cycle so far!! I NEED a second one when part two comes out. Absolutely loved the whole interaction the entire time. It felt so lovely seeing the interviewer talk to them the way i would want to talk to them about this kovie
Agreed, also we wish they had given Jeff Goldblum & Jonathan Bailey the joys of Em interviewing them too, make sure you listen to our Sealed Section on Emsolation Extra for Em's encounter with Jeff Goldblum, its heaven.
ive watched soooo many press junket interviews for all sorts of movies for years and ive grown tired and apathetic to how same-y and surface level it all is but ur interview w cynthia and ariana is the best ive possibly ever seen personally 😭so honest and sincere, and you asked the kind of very specific questions i always wish people did in these lmao. really glad youtube randomly recommended me this
We are really glad UA-cam randomly recommended us too, how lovely this review is, thank you, check out some of Em’s other interviews, singing, standup & podcasts, you’ll find LOTS to enjoy.
Hi, another Wicked obsessed, autistic/ADHD podcaster here! I love what you said about the two opposing forces in your brain being Glinda and Elphaba. That's the best laugh I've gotten in days 😂
they better invite you back for part 2 press!!! as a long-time fan of ariana’s it seems really obvious she LOVED this interview! and that’s saying a lot since she typically avoids press like this and red carpets
Riggght, they better bring her back for round two and give her Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan Bailey next time too, we need to see the three of them together too
Em, your interview of Ari and Cynthia was just IN-CRED-I-BLE.... You were so warm, engaging, genuine, sparkly and authentically you! As a fellow neurospicy theatre kid, I am just SO BLOODY PROUD OF YOU!!!! 😊😭😍🤩 I cannot wait for this movie and am so thrilled for you that you got to be in that room, thank you so much for sharing so much with us!!! 💚💗💚
Oh Jess, this its such a lovely thing to read, thank you so much, check out Em's other 5 part podcast series 'Anomalous with Em Rusciano' its full of healing and validating content, it's Em's love letter to the neurodivergent community and we reckon you will LOVE it.
Cynthia deserves this love what a beautiful human inside and out💚🥹 Also Ariana being there for the interviewer and Cynthia is the kindness we need in this world pure sisterhood vibes always being there for each other🩷💚 3 incredible women in this interview 🫶
I’ve just watched this from Facebook where it was posted on the Wicked Movie page .. this is now my favourite Cynthia / Ari interview .. it made me laugh and it made me cry .. Cynthia’s emotion .. Ari’s genuine laughter and “oh my god she’s so funny” look .. Em girl you so deserved this and you have a new found fan in me .. well done 💚👏🏻🩷
30:40 wow! Being a 47-year-old gay blind man living in San Francisco, California. I love when UA-cam gives me videos that I’ve never seen before from people from all over the world. I couldn’t see the screen obviously and I dictate everything so don’t come for me for misspellings miss punctuations and typos. I was in tears, listening to the interview I can’t remember your name, but you are fabulous! I have never been so taken back by an amazing interview that was so heartfelt understanding and just full of love and respect it blew my mind! I wish I could see your tattoos I have seven of them myself. The way you treated Ariana and Cynthia and giving Cynthia the time she deserved and both of them loving you in return and I wish I could see your outfit but I digress. You are beautiful you’re amazing. I have a lot of mental issues and being blind losing my sight when I was 28 years old really through my brain into turmoil. Listening to videos like this turns my somewhat cold heart from my past into something that made my heart swell and warm thank you so much for giving yourself to us in your videos and your interviews. This the best thing I’ve heard! The love that you showed the both of them and the love you received made my soul with lightness and happiness. You’re an amazing person. I love that you put yourself out there and I wish I had as much confidence as you have, it really really just made me the happiest blind person there ever was! I have never seen wicked. I don’t really know the story but I am so happy to finally be able to see this movie and enjoy with the rest of all these wicked girls, I am a gay man, lol and being thrilled and captivated like you havedone to me interviewing these people! Keep up the great work you’re amazing and you have a new subscriber in me! Kisses XOXO 🩵 🩵 🩵 thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!
Oh Dan this is so lovely, so glad the algorithms pushed us towards you. Thanks for all your amazing words. You’re an amazing person too because it always takes one to see one, bless you & we all hope you enjoy all the other things Em has to offer too, have a lovely day gorgeous one and thank you again.
I love this so much! It’s so authentic and magical - it feels like real human connection, rather than the usual scripted interviews from these press junkets. Well done Em! There’s something about fangirls running the interview that makes the content so much more engaging ❤❤❤
I love you! I think you did a wonderful interview. It was so emotional when I see the three of you and I sobbed. It was so heart crunching. You nailed it!
I’m so happy I got to watch that interview. I constantly find myself finding refuge in witches. From Agatha All Along to Wicked to Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I always find myself gravitating towards witches and it’s all so overwhelming when you see two amazing actresses and singers portray such iconic witches in such an amazing way. Thank you for thanking them on my behalf.
Em, this is just pure joy. What a great mix of chaos, girlhood, empathy and musical theatre nerdiness (the opt-up question? Love). Cynthia’s reaction to being called strong will stay with me for a long time. Don’t we all want to be complimented for being strong? Thank you for this. Ps. I also understand the Ethan thing xx
I am with you. WICKED was a life savor and a lifeline for so many of us. I am one of them...I honestly had no idea how much this stuff meant to me and how...if done right? with the right people? it became a thing that I honestly? feel so lucky to be alive for. It's a masterpiece.
That first interview warmed my heart and made me so happy to see on such a difficult day, you did wonderful, and i am so excited to see this movie! Seeing the three of you have such a meaningful conversation with eachother was truly a beautiful moment!
This is the best, most genuine thing ive seen. Interviews can often be a paint by numbers thing, and this just felt a musical lover having a chat and giving genuine feedback. You can tell it freshened up their day!
I truly enjoyed your interview with Cynthia and Ariana. It was the best interview with them that I have seen so far. As someone with severe Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety I really connected with what you were saying and I was crying along with you and Cynthia. I imagine they probably enjoyed your interview more because it was real and you weren't just asking the same questions that everyone else does. I'm sure that gets really monotonous after awhile.
Love reading this, so glad you found Em, make sure you check out her Anomalous with Em Rusciano 5 part podcast series, it’s her love letter to the neurodivergent community, we think you’ll enjoy that too, and of course everything else in here, have fun lovely
Absolutely beautiful interview! I loved Ariana and Cynthia before but i am obsessed with how kind they where and very present they where. It was amazing Em! You should be so so so so proud xx
I cried from the moment that interview started - Em you were simply amazing (no surprise) - and that jacket was fire! Thank you for giving Cynthia & Ari the interview they deserved to have here in Australia…the girls responded to you exactly the way I hoped they would, guard down & unfiltered. And this is what you deserved & we are so thankful. Also can I say - As someone who suffers from severely crippling psycho-social issues (anxiety & PTSD from DFV) I wanted to tell you Em that your heartfelt passion,enthusiasm & honesty is everything. Thank you also for what you said at the beginning of this video - “the day you wake up & realise that the system is at fault and not you” - you just gave me a lightbulb moment; my psychiatrist & counsellor haven’t been able to give me!
As someone with adhd who was diagnosed at 32… I fucking felt you that whole interview!! And I very much relay my own stories to connect and I knew exactly what was happening. And I think they knew and they got it completely! I loved your interview!
Em will LOVE reading this Taylor, make sure you check out her 5 part podcast series which is her love letter to the ND Community called 'Anomalous with Em Rusciano' we think you willl get so much out of it, enjoy lovely and thanks for your lovely review
this is so incredibly beautiful, im crying along with yall! as an autistic person with adhd, who also shares a birthday with ariana grande i just feel so connected to this film and these women, cynthia is incredible and all she did for this film and this character needs to be understood and you showed it and killed it and now ive found you and this channel! lovely to see this em, can’t wait to watch more and more!
We love this, thanks for finding us and enjoying it so much, you’re bound to enjoy some of Em’s other work in here too, we recommend her series Anomalous with Em Rusciano & her Press Club address too, thanks for your lovely words
This interview is such a validating video. To see them, be seen, and the energy be given back is spectacular. My goodness. This was a beautiful interview.
Your fervor and admiration for Wicked is truly how so many of us feel it really is so cathartic watching you react so intensely to what we all are in such anticipation for, very touching ❤

Love that you're a writer, and you have all of these ventures. I'm a writer, too ! I would love to read some of your books and connect with nice to meet a fellow writer
Finally someone giving Cynthia the interview she deserves!!! this was so beautiful to watch, thank you for this interview
Cynthia is one of Em’s ultimate performers so this moment was a LOT, we’re so happy Em got to give that moment to Cynthia too, bless her.
Couldn’t agree more!
THIS!! first one I've seen that's not just speaking to Ari
OMG YES!!!! YES FINALLY YES!!!
Love this, Em loves Ari obviously, but if she had the choice, I know she'd take a one on one with Cynthia every time.
The fact that they cry at every interview😭😭😭 they're so cute you can see that they're really living their dream
Literally just said that! This is the 3rd one too! As a sad girl tho I don’t hate it
When the interviewer said that after breastfeeding the nipples disintegrate and never come back, ARIANNA’S RESPONSE “who needs ‘em” 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
This interview is delightfully unhinged !! I need a series with the 3 of you !
We would be so into that!
FR THESE 3 ARE SO CUTE😭😭😭
Perfectly unhinged. They need more time together!!! Em GETS them!
Yes! Yes! And yes!
Omg. Yes!
“With adhd when someone tells us a story, we respond in a story”
This spoke to my soul and I heard you. The way I’ve been needing others to hear me.
This was an amazing interview. Sobbed with you girls ❤

I’ve never even seen the musical and I cried haha 😂
Tears may have escaped the eyeballs over here

thank u for telling cynthia that she literally was in the movie the real representation of the people who are rejected from society for being different. i was so related to elphaba in the movie. ariana also did a great and incredible job, but cynthia was everything to me. i’m literally crying in this minute. so happy you have the chance to interviewing them. ❤
Thank you loved reading this.
@ thanks to you
me too..i cried like crazy i love elphaba ❤ i can relate to her in many ways
“Pink thought you were coming for her job.” was a sneaky little one liner that had me busting out laughing. This interview was fantastic
😂😂😂 good spot & thanks for the lovely review
No same 😭😭😭😭
This is giving the chaotic energy that me and my bff give when we’re drunk and we meet strangers in a bathroom and I’m so here for it 😅
😂😂😂 perfection, we’ve all been there too
i couldn't suppress a laugh when ariana started frantically handing out tissues 😂 "OH JESUS CHRIST!"
thank you for sharing this interview with us :)
We wanna watch that bit on repeat, saaafunny
she started ever so elegantly throwing them 😂
I’m so weak😂😂😂😂😂
The day you wake up and realise it's the system that's wrong and not you....😭
exactly!
Well that comment just made me cry again!
@@tamarab318yes, AGAIN! I haven't heard it said that way .........and here I am tearing up just typing this!!

Naaaw this response is EVERYTHING, thanks for your lovely words

That whole interview with Ari and Cynthia was absolute chaos and perfection. And then Cynthia started bawling and that set me off! 😭😭 Also, Ari pulling handfuls of tissues saying "oh Jesus Christ" 😂 amazing, Em! You did it!!
The tissue throw was beyond hilare, thank you
Very Chaotic, I love and understood every bit of it. ❤❤❤.
That was the most genuine and sweet interview i’ve ever seen🥹🥹 Ariana and Cynthia are the sweetest people ever and you have a beautiful soul

Ariana " no you both have to stop ( goes back and forth tryin to help)" 21:26
Heaven
I love her trying to reign the tears in with so much kindness 🤣
@@MiaAvery-z1b gotta take care both of hers elphabas🥺
She’s so Glinda 😂
I don't think people should tell others to reel it in. I find it annoying. Like, let them have a moments, it's jus a couple of minutes....
I’m recently diagnosed ADHD and in early menopause. I cried. Thank you for this.
Our pleasure lovely, if you’re recently diagnosed you should totally check out Em’s 5 part series “Anomalous with Em Rusciano” it’s Em’s love letter to the ND community and what she wished she had on hand when she was first diagnosed. Great for helping explain the ND experience to family and friends too. Enjoy
I also have ADHD but i have had it since I was a baby
Well to be fair, everyone who has it has it from birth, it's just when you get diagnosed which is the difference
i’m so proud of this host for being SO honest. especially when she shared what Cynthia did for her at 20:19. i cried for like 4 minutes because i could relate. seriously, thank you, because this was one of the most unorthodox interviews that i never knew i needed. the way Cynthia & Ariana handled it was priceless ❤

I’m new to all of this! ADHD here😂
I cried when she said it and didn't expect to. It just made me feel so much more for wicked as well
Is it the characters that are written to be neurodivergent? Or are you saying that the actual actresses are?
@aurayarose people who are nd just see themselves in glinda and elphaba (am autistic and am 100% elphaba)
IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!!! Em is brilliant!
Oh Ariana handing out tissues saying oh Jesus Christ 💜💜💜
What a bloody interview
10/10
Our favourite moment, her face as she chucks them 💀😂
No 10/10 but 11/10
This is THE interview of the year!!! Love love love. You’ve saved it all…this interview is IT!!!!
Huzzah! Share it with everyone, we LOVE this feedback.
I love how Ari and Cynthia are almost never not holding hands or locking arms or touching in some way 😊 so heartwarming 🩷💚🤍
They really have built an incredible bond from this experience, its so lovely to witness
What just happened 😂🤣 and why did i burst into tears?!
Dust, anyone, dust?
Came to see Cynthia and Ariana but ended up watching the full thing you guys are amazing

Welcome! It's great here. I think you'll love it.
As a fellow neurodivergent (autistic) and theatre lover - absolutely love this interview. So going to cry (probably) when see the movie in two weeks!
No (probably) about it, thanks lovely.
Hi, another Wicked obsessed, autistic/ADHD podcaster here! I love what you said about the two opposing forces in your brain being Glinda and Elphaba. That's the best laugh I've gotten in days 😂
Hard relate 😂😂😂
12:53 is when they interview Ariana and Cynthia
they better invite you back for part 2 press!!! as a long-time fan of ariana’s it seems really obvious she LOVED this interview! and that’s saying a lot since she typically avoids press like this and red carpets
Riggght, they better bring her back for round two and give her Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan Bailey next time too, we need to see the three of them together too
Em, your interview of Ari and Cynthia was just IN-CRED-I-BLE.... You were so warm, engaging, genuine, sparkly and authentically you! As a fellow neurospicy theatre kid, I am just SO BLOODY PROUD OF YOU!!!! 😊😭😍🤩
I cannot wait for this movie and am so thrilled for you that you got to be in that room, thank you so much for sharing so much with us!!! 💚💗💚
Gaaaa such lovely words, thank YOU!!
You’re absolutely a SOMEBODY. This is the most honest interview I’ve seen. I loved how you were yourself and open with your feelings. Love love this.
Thank you so much, that’s so lovely to read
"Cynthia, you f'in did it babe" 😭
not this whole interview being a rollercoaster
All of the emotions & hectic
This interview is so healing and validating. I didn’t know others like me felt this way 🥹🫶
Oh Jess, this its such a lovely thing to read, thank you so much, check out Em's other 5 part podcast series 'Anomalous with Em Rusciano' its full of healing and validating content, it's Em's love letter to the neurodivergent community and we reckon you will LOVE it.
“I’m autistic too”
“Beautiful!”
I was never an Ariana Stan what is she doing to me 😭😭😭😂
the genuine authenticity in ALL these women is kinda overwhelming. they're so kind. and you're the best interviewer.
This is so kind, thank you lovely
Your interview with Cynthia and Ariana was amazing. I was tearing up. I'm so excited to see the movie!

I’ve just watched this from Facebook where it was posted on the Wicked Movie page .. this is now my favourite Cynthia / Ari interview .. it made me laugh and it made me cry .. Cynthia’s emotion .. Ari’s genuine laughter and “oh my god she’s so funny” look .. Em girl you so deserved this and you have a new found fan in me .. well done 💚👏🏻🩷
We absolutely LOVE this, also go Wicked for posting it on their page, we love that too, woo hoo, bless Ari and Cynthia so lovely
30:40 wow! Being a 47-year-old gay blind man living in San Francisco, California. I love when UA-cam gives me videos that I’ve never seen before from people from all over the world. I couldn’t see the screen obviously and I dictate everything so don’t come for me for misspellings miss punctuations and typos. I was in tears, listening to the interview I can’t remember your name, but you are fabulous! I have never been so taken back by an amazing interview that was so heartfelt understanding and just full of love and respect it blew my mind! I wish I could see your tattoos I have seven of them myself. The way you treated Ariana and Cynthia and giving Cynthia the time she deserved and both of them loving you in return and I wish I could see your outfit but I digress. You are beautiful you’re amazing. I have a lot of mental issues and being blind losing my sight when I was 28 years old really through my brain into turmoil. Listening to videos like this turns my somewhat cold heart from my past into something that made my heart swell and warm thank you so much for giving yourself to us in your videos and your interviews. This the best thing I’ve heard! The love that you showed the both of them and the love you received made my soul with lightness and happiness. You’re an amazing person. I love that you put yourself out there and I wish I had as much confidence as you have, it really really just made me the happiest blind person there ever was! I have never seen wicked. I don’t really know the story but I am so happy to finally be able to see this movie and enjoy with the rest of all these wicked girls, I am a gay man, lol and being thrilled and captivated like you havedone to me interviewing these people! Keep up the great work you’re amazing and you have a new subscriber in me! Kisses XOXO 🩵 🩵 🩵 thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!
Oh Dan this is so lovely, so glad the algorithms pushed us towards you. Thanks for all your amazing words. You’re an amazing person too because it always takes one to see one, bless you & we all hope you enjoy all the other things Em has to offer too, have a lovely day gorgeous one and thank you again.
❤we love you Dan
Wow, you are amazing. Well said.
Interviewer is so funny and fun and im so glad Cynthia got the attentions she DESERVES!
So nice seeing Cynthia get props like that, Em is a HUGE fan obviously
this is the best interview from the sydney premiere LOVE YOU
Woah sterling review, thank YOU!😊
I love this so much! It’s so authentic and magical - it feels like real human connection, rather than the usual scripted interviews from these press junkets. Well done Em! There’s something about fangirls running the interview that makes the content so much more engaging ❤❤❤
This was the ultimate fangirl chat too
This interview is the best I ever watched on UA-cam.
I had no tears left to cry because I can't save my tears for another day.😭😭😭
Naaaw thank you, hope you recover the tears eventually 😂
@emsolationpodcast TQ for giving me a good motivation this morning.
Actually I don't live or born in Australia but Malaysia
We love that you're in Malaysia and enjoying it, welcome to the Emsolation family lovely, you'e an Emsolator now
@@emsolationpodcast tqsm for inviting me to join your UA-cam channel
The instant gratitude in tears and pure emotion gave me chills, I loved it
I love you! I think you did a wonderful interview. It was so emotional when I see the three of you and I sobbed. It was so heart crunching. You nailed it!
Thank you lovely
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. You are fabulous. I am part of you're coven now babe.
Welcome to Em's coven lovely
I’m so happy I got to watch that interview. I constantly find myself finding refuge in witches. From Agatha All Along to Wicked to Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I always find myself gravitating towards witches and it’s all so overwhelming when you see two amazing actresses and singers portray such iconic witches in such an amazing way. Thank you for thanking them on my behalf.
Our utter pleasure, thank you for this sterling review
Em, this is just pure joy. What a great mix of chaos, girlhood, empathy and musical theatre nerdiness (the opt-up question? Love). Cynthia’s reaction to being called strong will stay with me for a long time. Don’t we all want to be complimented for being strong? Thank you for this. Ps. I also understand the Ethan thing xx
Love this, thanks lovely
You have found a new fan. I am floored, you are astonishing.
Wow we LOVE this, thank you, hope you enjoy even more stuff from Em.
Bat-Sheet crazy Aussie with ADHD giving the interview of my lifetime. Astounding work and real emotions!
Loved every minute of this.. I’m so excited to see the movie
You will love it
I am with you. WICKED was a life savor and a lifeline for so many of us. I am one of them...I honestly had no idea how much this stuff meant to me and how...if done right? with the right people? it became a thing that I honestly? feel so lucky to be alive for. It's a masterpiece.
One hundred percent THAT!!
@@emsolationpodcast right? like, it's just so good!!!
That first interview warmed my heart and made me so happy to see on such a difficult day, you did wonderful, and i am so excited to see this movie! Seeing the three of you have such a meaningful conversation with eachother was truly a beautiful moment!
Thank you so much!
This is so beautifully and satisfyingly chaotic
Perfect review thank you
this will be one of my favorite interviews ever from now till the end of time
Wow this is so lovely to know, thanks muchly
That was the BEST Wicked interview…OF.ALL.TIME!!!
Thank YOU for that, EM!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷
Glad you enjoyed it
This is the best, most genuine thing ive seen. Interviews can often be a paint by numbers thing, and this just felt a musical lover having a chat and giving genuine feedback. You can tell it freshened up their day!
So true, thank YOU!
This interview is everything! Everything! Amazing work Ms. Em!
Thank you!!
I truly enjoyed your interview with Cynthia and Ariana. It was the best interview with them that I have seen so far. As someone with severe Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety I really connected with what you were saying and I was crying along with you and Cynthia. I imagine they probably enjoyed your interview more because it was real and you weren't just asking the same questions that everyone else does. I'm sure that gets really monotonous after awhile.
So very true, thanks for your lovely words
This is the first time Ive watch one of your videos and dam! As an autistic adhder I sobbed, laughed and related to everything you said. Thank you
Love reading this, so glad you found Em, make sure you check out her Anomalous with Em Rusciano 5 part podcast series, it’s her love letter to the neurodivergent community, we think you’ll enjoy that too, and of course everything else in here, have fun lovely
I just saw a clip of this & it was 100% wholesome! I’m going to find some time tonight to sit down and enjoy this.
Hope you enjoy it!
Absolutely beautiful interview! I loved Ariana and Cynthia before but i am obsessed with how kind they where and very present they where. It was amazing Em! You should be so so so so proud xx
Couldn't agree more! Thanks lovely
I cried from the moment that interview started - Em you were simply amazing (no surprise) - and that jacket was fire! Thank you for giving Cynthia & Ari the interview they deserved to have here in Australia…the girls responded to you exactly the way I hoped they would, guard down & unfiltered. And this is what you deserved & we are so thankful.
Also can I say -
As someone who suffers from severely crippling psycho-social issues (anxiety & PTSD from DFV) I wanted to tell you Em that your heartfelt passion,enthusiasm & honesty is everything. Thank you also for what you said at the beginning of this video - “the day you wake up & realise that the system is at fault and not you” - you just gave me a lightbulb moment; my psychiatrist & counsellor haven’t been able to give me!
So love this review, thank you soooo much, glad you got a lightbulb moment too.
Literally the best interview
Thank you!
As someone with adhd who was diagnosed at 32… I fucking felt you that whole interview!! And I very much relay my own stories to connect and I knew exactly what was happening. And I think they knew and they got it completely! I loved your interview!
Em will LOVE reading this Taylor, make sure you check out her 5 part podcast series which is her love letter to the ND Community called 'Anomalous with Em Rusciano' we think you willl get so much out of it, enjoy lovely and thanks for your lovely review
This is the best interviewer I’ve ever watched!! I just love her!! Omg that rollercoaster of emotions was everything
We love reading this, hope you enjoy some of Em’s other podcast episodes
This is genuinely one of the best interviews I have ever ever seen. You crushed it. ❤❤❤❤

We love this, thanks for finding us and enjoying it so much, you’re bound to enjoy some of Em’s other work in here too, we recommend her series Anomalous with Em Rusciano & her Press Club address too, thanks for your lovely words

Pleasure, and yeah Cynthia is Em's all time fave, so she wasn't going to miss her chance to give her the respect she deserves, bless her.
HOW INTERVIEWS SHOULD BE. Thank you for showing us what interviews could be.
Bless you.
This interview is such a validating video. To see them, be seen, and the energy be given back is spectacular. My goodness. This was a beautiful interview.
So thankful you loved it, we've got lots more in here for you to enjoy too.
This was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Truly thank you for that 😭❤️
You are so kind, thank YOU!
Cynthia and Ari are both having their well deserved moment. Both did such an amazing job and i cannot wait for part 2
Your fervor and admiration for Wicked is truly how so many of us feel it really is so cathartic watching you react so intensely to what we all are in such anticipation for, very touching ❤
This is so lovely, thank you Scott, we are all HUGE Wicked fans here
The passion from em was actually so lovely .
Thank YOU!!
