The Chronicles of Mindy Sterling | From Improv to Frau Farbissina & More!

Welcome to the One Hundred & Forty-Seventh Edition of The Chronicles Of Podcast, These are The Chronicles of Mindy Sterling

In this exclusive interview we dive deep into the incredible career of Mindy Sterling, the legendary character actor behind some of the most unforgettable roles in Hollywood. Mindy shares stories from her youth, drawing inspiration from her entertainer parents, studying Shakespeare at just 13 years old, and her early days in acting. We also explore her time in improv with The Groundlings and how it shaped her career.

Listen in as Mindy talks about her iconic roles, including her work on Desperate Housewives, The Goldbergs, The Grinch, and, of course, her infamous portrayal of Frau Farbissina in Austin Powers. She gives us an inside look at the character, the development of the voice, and memorable moments from the set. 

Also this week, the boys dive into the cringe-worthy expression "coughing your guts up"—seriously, could you imagine?! They also chat about children's weird obsession with mirrors and the time Jamie was caught belting out a tune in a lift! But that’s not all—we uncover another bizarre sport, a hybrid of MMA and hockey (yep, it's a thing), and catch up on the week, including Jamie’s night at an Alice Cooper concert and Tom’s latest NFL fantasy football streak update.

As always, Callum is back with Callum's Teachings, where he asks the important questions, like, do hair and nails make noise when they grow? Tom reads out the funniest internet gems in Tom’s Journal, and Jamie’s audience participation challenge asks, which celebrity would make the best Prime Minister or President?
