10d ago39:16

39:16

She's one of my faves! Unfortunately, when Lindsay's book was launched in March 2020,, apparently, COVID had other plans for the world. Nonetheless, she did another podcast for a while called "Crimes of Long Island", which you can also check out, in addition to "Neurotic Nourishment". Lindsay says she had too much wine before this interview. I thin…

24d ago32:52

32:52

I still think that "What Was That Like" is one of the most unique podcasts out there in Podcastia. Just a listen to some of the episodes Scott and I discuss will confirm that. The show is still running, by the way. (I even referred Lauren from "Just Na Science" to Scott with her wild story,too!) So, let's flash back to 2019 for this one! __________…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Director Todd Wolfson! 41:09

2M ago41:09

41:09

I always find that horror fans have that same kind of loyalty as country music fans. Minus the hats, trains, dogs, and saloons. But, when they create something interesting in the horror genre, you KNOW it's got to be interesting. Such is the case, when I got to talk to Todd. This sounds like a movie that'll really be unique. So go see it in October…

2M ago30:15

30:15

A very interesting interview here, Rebels. As much as Tanya said that her story wasn't really inspiring, I think I'd have to respectfully disagree. She's a lady who's come this far in her life to achieve a goal that maybe people only dream about. And now she gets to take it a step further, by creating something to help prolong the life of Earth!

This is your chance, Rebels! Have a listen to the interview with an up and coming artist, who's bringing his unique musical style to the masses.

She's back! With snacks! And an announcement!

My interview this week comes back to the States. My talk with Robert Bear was very interesting and educational.

He gave a lot of great advice in the interview, but there's more to be f…
