I’ve been a big fan of Richard’s for a long time and of course know him in recent years as an amazing host and “celebrator” of so many wonderful talents. With that said, I wasn’t sure what to expect for his solo show Richard Skipper: The Magic of Believing. I knew there’d be stories and songs and I knew that Richard would bring the flair and humor he brings to his podcast. What I wasn’t expecting was the total WOW from the show from start to finish! Weaving together his stories with random questions plucked from the audience, he had me at one moment in stitches and the next near tears from his heartwarming and genuine recounting of his life in the biz. I knew some of it, but a lot I was hearing for the first time. The journey he took us on was both heartwarming and uplifting. But the most impressive thing about the evening for me was that man’s pipes! He can still bring a house down with his vocals and he can also draw you close with his softer tones. And of course he had us all singing with him because that’s Richard - he loves to celebrate and not just himself but everyone in the room. There’s something wrong if this show doesn’t sell out all over the place. Thank you Richard, for a glorious evening as only you can present! Bravo!

Richard reminds me of underrated talk show host Merv Griffin, bubbling with endearing child-like enthusiasm; quick on his feet with a quip but always keeping the focus on the guest's career and what he/she has to say.

Richard Skipper Celebrates Ron Lytle was a delight! Ron is known here in the San Francisco Bay area for his delightful shows and he really should be known nationwide. So I was glad that Ron’s work got some nice exposure on Richard’s program. Well done.

We talked about everything! What a joy to have a conversation with Richard. He knew more about me and my career than I even remembered ;he is kind,interesting, fun and with a genuine love and passion for the people he interviews. The hour went so fast and I confess I long to talk with him again. He stirred up such feelings and memories that I had long forgotten . Richard you have a gift and I am grateful for our time together. Till next we Meet. Nancy Dussault, Oxnard, CA
