Summary

It’s hard to measure our obsession with the lab’s forensic facial reconstructionist Angela Montenegro, compared to the endearing woman who plays her, Michaela Conlin. Luckily, this episode with Michaela is packed with discussions about both of them! Michaela reflects on her time on the show and dives into your listener questions in this all-access interview. We know Angela for her free spirit, zingers, and big heart. But did you know that Michaela is an expert at drawing an ostrich named Ebenezer? Emily, Carla and Michaela dish on all that went on behind the scenes over the years, including Michaela’s audition story, how their friendships formed, and why portraying Angela and Brennan helped give them both more confidence. All that, plus enough giggles to make your cheeks burn from smiling! Guess what?! We recorded this very special episode on video! It is OUT NOW on YouTube!
