Xcellent U  features interviews with top producers, directors, filmmakers, media makers, change agents, performing artists, composers and others from the worlds of arts and entertainment. We go behind the scenes and into the hearts, minds and spirits of some of the most amazing talent---and people behind the talent. Our Creative Director,  Steven J. Zuckerman  spent thirty some years surrounded by some of the greatest names in entertainment. It is his commitment to produce quality programming without the need for ratings or judgement. Some of these conversations are recent, others go back several years. Some of the people are still with us, with others, the music remains.

We are honored and delighted to share these conversations and stories with you. To go to the feature, click the name on the left side
