Ellen Pompeo Has A Podcast Y’all –

Did you know Ellen Pompeo has a podcast?  Because I didn’t.  Until today.  Until about an hour ago.

And I’m a bit giddy because her very first podcast is with McDreamy.  Ok, ok – he IS a real person and has a REAL name, and it’s not REALLY Derek Shepherd like we got used to for so many seasons of Grey’s Anatomy.  But still.   In my heart he will always be McDreamy, and to be honest, I’m still getting over losing him on the show.  It took me a long time to get over that and start watching it again.  And I love Meredith Gray.  She was “my person”.  If you can have a person through a tv screen.

Funny how easily we get attached to characters.

Back to the podcast with McDreamy.

Ellen Pompeo just launched her first podcast in hopes of bringing people together.  In a world that feels so divided, she is hoping she can use her voice for good.  To quote McDreamy “it’s a good day to save lives”

Too far?  (smile)  Sorry, but I couldn’t resist.  My daughter and I have been re-watching the series from the first episode.

In this first episode, Ellen sits down with her famous co-star, Patrick Dempsey and shares what it was like to work with him, and an interesting fact about their relationship.  Did you know they used to be neighbours?  Before the show?

What you can expect from her podcast – a sit down with different guests from all areas of life – attorneys, authors, creators and doctors (real docs and I guess a fave tv one – smile).  Sitting down, and having a conversation talking about all kinds of things.

In this first episode she talks about all kinds of things, including how people cross our paths, or are put “in our orbit” for a reason.   “Some people are meant to be in your orbit for a minute to teach you things, and then they get out of your orbit — and you don’t ever want them in your orbit again.”

She talks about the “musical” episode, and what it felt like to take orders or NOT take orders from Denzel Washington when he directed one episode.

It’s so good.  But then again, anytime Derek and Meredith are together it’s good.

Listen.  Let me know if you love it as much as I do.
