Taylor Sheridan is a well-oiled storytelling machine, and his latest drama, Landman, set in the unforgiving boom towns of West Texas, promises high-stakes drama and a masterclass in grit. Kayla Wallace steps into the chaos as Rebecca, a fierce attorney who’s unafraid to shake up the old boys’ club — and maybe survive a snake or two along the way. The actress talks with Kyle Meredith about the series, as well as her return to When Calls the Heart. Wallace relishes the role, bringing a fire that holds its own against powerhouse Billy Bob Thornton, whose rugged cynicism fuels the series’ combustible energy. From courtroom showdowns to tense standoffs in oil fields and wind farms, Wallace’s Rebecca is a woman who’s done her homework and isn’t afraid to use it.The behind-the-scenes details are as riveting as the plot. When Wallace talks about acting alongside real snakes — plexiglass shields or not — it’s clear Landman doesn’t just flirt with danger; it marries it. “I was absolutely terrified,” she admits. “I thought the snake would somehow learn how to jump and get me.” Add in Wallace’s commitment to exploring the environmental and human costs of oil, and you’ve got a drama that’s as thought-provoking as it is pulse-pounding.And for those who know Wallace best from When Calls the Heart, there’s more to look forward to. While her character Fiona took a detour to Nashville, Wallace hints that we might not have seen the last of her in Hope Valley.

In the second season of Alive and Well Enough (known as Alive and Well Enough Continues), Jeff Daniels and his son Ben continue crafting a genre-defying experience on Audible. It’s not just a memoir — it’s a masterclass in acting, a showcase of original songs, and a series of one-man plays. Listen to him chat about it and more with Kyle Meredith.For Jeff, the series stems from a desire to blend storytelling mediums, taking his 25 years of acoustic stage shows and his decades of acting experience and molding them into something wholly unique. “I didn’t want to interview friends on a podcast,” Daniels says. “I wanted complete creative freedom.”That freedom results in a vibrant, unpredictable journey. Jeff plays all the characters in his theatrical segments, meticulously nailing the timing in scenes with only himself as a scene partner. The structure leaps from reflections on his acting career to folk-infused songs like "Across the Way," where Jeff’s playwright roots show in his knack for beginning-middle-end storytelling.Ben Daniels, who handles production and contributes musically, brings cohesion to this whirlwind of ideas. The result is a seamless blend of humor, poignancy, and behind-the-scenes wisdom — from Jeff’s reflections on The Newsroom to his offbeat Dumb and Dumber skits.The cherry on top? Jeff’s recent claim to fame as the man who broke the Detroit Lions’ infamous “Bobby Layne curse.” Ever since a comedy bit with Peyton Manning, the Lions have been on a tear, and fans credit Jeff for lifting the decades-old hex. Now, Daniels is ready to immortalize it with "The Curse of Bobby Layne," a new song he’ll record with Ben and his band.Listen to Jeff Daniels, chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
