Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast delves into the diverse experiences of behind-the-scenes professionals, with episodes exploring topics such as directing, costume design, and makeup artistry. Notable examples include Rock Davis discussing the filmmaking process and his upcoming documentary, alongside insights from other industry figures sharing their journeys and the evolution of their careers.
On The Set Podcast is a docu-style interview series spotlighting the people who build entertainment from every angle, in front of the camera and behind it. Now in its second season, the show has grown from behind-the-scenes crew stories into a wider showcase of the entertainment industry as a whole: directors who’ve worked alongside major Hollywood names, producers behind moments on MTV’s TRL, music video creatives shaping hip-hop culture, journalists and executives at companies like SpringHill, and actors with decades of film and television credits.
Each episode follows the “How It Started,” “How It’s Going,” and “Where They’re Heading” arc of its guest, tracing the obstacles they’ve overcome, the moments that changed their trajectory, and the mindset that kept them going when the industry didn’t make it easy.
On The Set Podcast isn’t just a highlight reel of career wins. It’s a study in resilience, faith, and betting on yourself, for anyone building a career in entertainment, whether they’re just starting out or years into the grind. This is a movement redefining what it means to be seen in an industry where being unseen is often the norm.
In this episode of On The Set Podcast, our host Steven Strickland sits down with host, actor, dancer, audience producer, and founder of DJ USA Events, Marco Glorious!
From writing a letter to Bill Cosby as a kid and landing on The Cosby Show set, to dancing on MTV’s Direct Effect outside the 42nd Street studios, to hosting for the New Jersey Nets and becoming the audience producer behind The Wendy Williams Show (two Emmy nominations!) and The Sherri Show, Marco has spent his entire life turning charisma into craft.
This conversation dives into the power of positive energy, the art of crowd control across any culture, what it really takes to produce a live daytime show, and why being dynamic, not just talented, is what leaves a lasting imprint on every room you walk into.
From his roots as a half-Indian, half-Caribbean kid in New York who bought a new fedora every Easter, to keeping a suit, tuxedo, and his own microphone in the car at all times, to navigating personal loss and finding his way back to the stage, Marco pulls back the curtain on a career built on confidence, preparation, and the belief that everything ordained by the Most High is already yours, it’s just up to you to make sure the world sees it.
