Someone You Love with Joseph Antonio – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode of Someone You Love, I sit down with the one and only Jack Schultz — artist, teacher, and owner of Green Shirt Studio here in Chicago. We dive into how yoga transformed his approach to acting, what it takes to build a thriving creative community, and the heart behind his solo show, I'm Falling in Love All the Time.

We also talk about the highs, lows, and raw honesty that come with putting your own story on stage — and, to make it even sweeter, Jack gets a surprise love letter from his longtime friend, Tyler Esselman.

Jack’s energy, passion, and creativity are contagious, and I’m so excited for you to hear his journey. Check out his links below — this is someone you’ll want to keep on your radar!

In the very first episode of Someone You Love, I sit down with Susanna Turner — an actor, photographer, and artist based in Chicago. We dive into how Susy captures stories through photography, what it means to be a Third Culture Kid, and how that journey has shaped her search for artistic identity. We also talk about the powerful and personal roots of her solo show, Inshallah; We Will Move to Newton.

Along the way, we explore "Leftovers," an iconic photo Susy took in Providence, Rhode Island, and reflect on the deep connection she shares with her adoptive mother. And to top it off, Susy gets a surprise love letter from her dear friend, Hannah Rumsey.

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better first guest. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Welcome to Someone You Love with Joseph Antonio. 

I’m Joseph — or Joey — an actor, dancer, and artist originally from California, now creating and performing in Chicago. I was a resident at the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre and recently began teaching with the Green Shirt Studio in Ravenswood. But more than anything, I’m someone who’s endlessly inspired by the artists around me.

So why this podcast?

Someone You Love is a space to sit down with artists — actors, dancers, musicians, writers — and talk honestly about their creative lives. We dive into their passions, challenges, inspirations, and the deeper emotional layers that often get left out.

This podcast was born out of three simple ideas:

• To spotlight the journeys and artistry of the people who inspire me.
• To explore the relationships that fuel their work.
• And to remind each guest — and listener — that they are deeply loved.

At the end of every episode, I read a surprise love letter to each guest from someone who sees them, supports them, and believes in their work.

This show is ‘A Love Letter to Your Favorite Artist’. I'm so thankful you're here. Please enjoy, Someone You Love.

You can listen to Someone You Love on all streaming platforms. <3

In episode five of Someone You Love, I sit down with the host of Friends Missing Friends, a podcast & community dedicated to enfranchising platonic grief and friend loss. We discuss the passing of Hannah's best friend, Lauren, and how impactful her grief has been on her artistic journey.

Hannah and I also cover 42 Days of Summer, a solo performance Hannah wrote and performed in which covered the complex emotions of her best friend's death.

In episode four of Someone You Love, I sit down with the one and only Ethan Smith to talk all things Rock 'n' Roll, the often-overlooked art of understudying, and how our hyper-speed digital world is shaping the way we make and experience art. 

Toward the end, Ethan receives a heartfelt love letter from his good friend, Evan Carlson. I had such a blast recording this one — hope you enjoy listening just as much!

In this episode, I get the pleasure to sit with Abby Thompson, an actor, teaching artist, poet, and emmy-winning voiceover artist. Abby and I talk about what makes children good at theatre, and the ways in which an artist becomes an art-ivist.

We also talk about Abby's newest production of Alex in Windyland, a play that was trasnpired by youth in the foster care system. Finally, Abby gets a surprise love letter from her friend, Lonnae Hickman.

I was so excited to sit down with Abby. I hope you enjoy the episode, and learn more about the artist behind Alex in Windyland.
