Amazing interview, I totally agree with the secondary characters, they're so much better in the movie, and I loved that!

[@jordansmoot4712]

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

[@sususnandes]

Finally someone giving Cynthia the interview she deserves!!! this was so beautiful to watch, thank you for this interview

[@emsolationpodcast]

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.

[@Mable22]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@leilani9779]

THIS!! first one I've seen that's not just speaking to Ari

[@lari___]

OMG YES!!!! YES FINALLY YES!!!

[@emsolationpodcast]

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.

“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 ❤

[@emsolationpodcast]

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!!

[@JasmineMartinez]

@ will do ❤️

[@panjabipandit]

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.

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. ❤

[@emsolationpodcast]

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. kzbin.info4v88Wd20GiU?si=d9mB-BZiTUYwQrd2

[@emsolationpodcast]

So lovely thank you

[@JoneeBlair]

I’m recently diagnosed ADHD and in early menopause. I cried. Thank you for this.

[@emsolationpodcast]

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

[@Thatgirljesi11yeah]

I also have ADHD but i have had it since I was a baby

[@emsolationpodcast]

Well to be fair, everyone who has it has it from birth, it's just when you get diagnosed which is the difference

[@martineonthescene]

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 ❤

[@emsolationpodcast]

Wait until you hear the rest of Em's work, you are in for SO MANY treats, enjoy and thanks for your lovely words.

Is it the characters that are written to be neurodivergent? Or are you saying that the actual actresses are?

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!

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 ❤

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

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

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!

30:40 wow! Being a 47-year-old gay blind man living in San Francisco, California. I love when KZbin 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!

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 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.

[@emsolationpodcast]

So very true, thanks for your lovely words

[@Elena-k4e1g]

This interviewer is such a bright light to me. I know what is like to feel what her brain feels like. You did so well queen!

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 ❤

Spectacular as always Em! Giving so much to your community of followers who love what you do and the way you do it. Cynthia was visibly moved to tears because you get what she’s feeling. You know it means so much to her. Bravo on some fantastic interviews. Nothing felt rehearsed. It was all genuine and you could tell.
