NATTIE NEIDHART + JOSH LEVINE

Author: Richard Crouse December 7, 2025 Duration: 37:37
On the Saturday December 6, 2025 episode of The Richard Crouse Show we get to know WWE Superstar Natalya “Nattie” Neidhart. In her new book, “The Last Hart Beating,” now available wherever you buy fine books, the longest-serving female wrestler in WWE history—invites readers inside her extraordinary journey, from her upbringing in the legendary Hart family home through her more than two decades in wrestling. In the book she writes about her chaotic childhood in the boom-and-bust world of professional wrestling, including her family’s brush with homelessness, her father’s battles with addiction, and how they shaped her, her front-row seat to the rise of women’s wrestling and the resilience it took to thrive as a female wrestler at a time when what you looked like on screen was more important than how talented you were between the ropes and much more. Then we meet Josh Levine. His new book,“Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good: The Inside Story of Larry David’s Masterpieces,” is a detailed exploration of Larry David’s comedic legacy, focusing on his groundbreaking work in television. It delves into his creative process, highlighting how his irreverent humor and knack for turning social awkwardness into comedy gold revolutionized sitcoms. It’s a must-read for fans wanting to understand the man who made “nothing” the funniest thing on TV.

The address for House of Crouse is a flexible one, existing more as a state of mind curated by host Richard Crouse than a physical location. This podcast builds a welcoming, conversational space where compelling figures from the worlds of television and film feel comfortable enough to settle in and share stories you might not hear elsewhere. The tone is less of a formal interview and more like an engaging chat between friends, where the focus is on the person behind the public profile. Each Monday, a new episode arrives, featuring a relaxed and in-depth dialogue with guests like Amy Schumer, Josh Gad, or Daniel Radcliffe, among many others. Listening feels like pulling up a chair in a room where the conversation is always genuine, often surprising, and deeply connected to the craft and culture of screen storytelling. It’s an opportunity to hear familiar voices in an unfamiliar way, exploring the experiences and ideas that shape the entertainment we watch. Richard Crouse facilitates these discussions with a knowledgeable ease, ensuring every visit to this particular house is time well spent for anyone curious about the people who make our favorite shows and movies. The result is a consistently interesting audio experience that prioritizes substance and personality, making it a standout listen in the vast landscape of film and TV podcasts.
