The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Musician Aaron Grackle Maurice!
Aaron comes to the show with an interesting story of how he discovered music in his life, and what he's currently doing with it. Hopefully, it's more than what I'm doing with my comedy career, which is spending a lot of time…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Sheriff N. Lane Akin ("The Point:Dawn of the Texas Meth War")!
Every once in a while, I get a guest whose story REALLY needs to be heard. And this, Rebels, is one of them. Sheriff Akin (I get to call him Lane!) has had a fascinating career in law enforcement in Texas. His book only cove…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Playwright/Singer David Ippolito!
I just love it when we get guests with such interesting stories. David's is most certainly not one you'd hear on other podcasts. But as he said, he knew he wanted to create...and so he did! So check out this interview! (And …

Franky (of "Franky Slawson's Renegade Radio") Goes to Podcastia!
So, here's a question...you're living in a small Minnesota farming town, and you want more out of life, so what do you do? You start a podcast, naturally! Which is exactly what Franky did. So, his career takes a terribly wro…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Writer/Director Rene Rivas ("Rejected")
After watching the Trailer to "Rejected" I couldn't help but wonder, "How much bedlam could a camcorder cause?" (Well, there was this time at my cousin's wedding, when a rhino accidentally got involved, but apart from that..…

Christinall Love Talks Healing & Shooting Bears (with cameras)!
You know, Rebels, there are certain folks you can talk to and come away with the opinion of "What an interesting life." I can certainly say that Christinall has certainly not led an ordinary life. But it's interesting how li…

Comedy Tonight! (Or Yesterday?) It's Actor/Comic Joey Gaynor!
Joey had such an interesting story to tell. Imagine being there when so many comic greats were just getting their start. You'll notice that he's STILL not done entertaining, with radio shows and even more live stand-up, plus…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Voiceover Actor Charlie Weirauch III !
I think that if I had a voice as smooth as Charlie's, I could become a podcaster! He's led an interesting life; one that's convinced me to run from the sight of a traffic helicopter, for sure. So, kick back with the beverage…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Horror Director, Hunter Nino!
Imagine if you could spend your days making horror movies with your friends. For me, it's hard enough imagining if I had friends. But the titles alone would be worth it..." Borrowed Lawnmower from beyond the Grave," "It Came…

Avengers (and non-comic lovers) assemble! It's Eugene Lazos of "The Geek Saga"!
We're talking podcasts in Season 13! It's an interesting start, with this chat with Eugene Lazos, a military veteran in CA, who co-hosts with his friend (and fellow veteran) David. I accidentally called the show "The Geek Sq…

Lucky Season 13! And I get to kick it off with a unique interview with a stage actress,director and writer! (That's one person, by the way.) Ashley Griffin has been involved with performing since a young age, and has had a w…

It's The End (of Season 12)!!
Well, Rebels, as they say, all good thing must come to an end. And since no one has said this podcast is good, we will soldier on! Since this is a season wrap-up episode, we'll have the traditional thank yous, and feature so…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Producer Marc Baron! (Season 12 Finale)

The Sherpa Screening Room:Meet Author Tom Lisanti!
Anytime someone mentions "The 4:30 Movie", I'm all ears! Which explains why I don't pose for photos, also. Tom's story is very fascinating, along with his encounters with the people who made the 60's and 70's so interesting.…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Screenwriter Ryan Cullen!
Rebels, you may wonder-where are the next screenwriters of horror? (Okay, maybe you don't wonder that specifically, but play along, okay?) I just happened to find one ( courtesy of super-publicist Steve Joiner) who might hav…

A chat, mostly with Graveyard, of "They Mostly Pod Out At Night...Mostly"
So, honestly, how many times does one get to chat with a guy named Graveyard? (Really? Who replied "147"?) It's fun when we get podcasters who are so immersed in their projects. But he's not a scary guy, he just loves a chee…

Charles and Doug of "Seeing Them Live" are Live! (Um, we mean recorded...)
So, here's my idea for a music festival: REM, ABC, ELO, and NWA, and we'll call it "The Spelling Bee." (Please, "Alphabet Soup" was too obvious.) I wonder if my guests would go to that? The ticket stub would look interesting…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Actor Brian Elliott!
WE'RE BACK!!! What, you didn't know we were gone? Didn't you even sniff the milk? Anyway, it's a pleasure to be bringing new material into the "podosphere", and Brian was such a great guest, I'm glad he helped with our "retu…

It's an "Outrage Overload"! David Beckemeyer's here to calm us down!
Are you outraged?? Do you even wonder why? Would you like to buy some yak milk? ( Figured I'd ask...)David's podcast takes a fascinating look at the "outrage machine" that stirs up our emotions and makes us take sides. (I ca…
