The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Shannan Wilson! (featuring a bonus music track)
It was a real treat meeting Shannan. As I noted in the episode, I was sort of expecting someone who can play dramatic, intense roles to be super- serious. Wrong!! She was the type of fun guest I love interviewing in The Scre…

Cody Langley of "POPular Opinion" POPS in!
"I'm pretty Southern. You might need subtitles for me." So said today's guest. Hey, if Cody was able to understand me, I wouldn't need subtitles. I was surprised that I'd learn even more about Funko Pops, when I never even k…

We're "Goin' Hollywood" with JD and The Ghost! (and I forgot to pack my bronzer!)
So, who do you usually discuss movies with? Your friends,right? Whether it's a debate or a dialogue reference, those are best saved for your buddies. Which leads to a natural creation of 'Goin ' Hollywood " by JD and The Gho…

1/3 of the "Three Geeks Podcast" + 1/2 of "Mat Talk"=Jason Taylor!
Okay, so I'm not really good at math! And considering my mic went kerflooey right before the interview, not good at technology either (Update: Thanks to the folks at Samson for helping me out after the episode was recorded. …

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Steven Jay Rubin!
So, what could I, a sherpa who hasn't seen a single Bond movie, learn from the author of the encyclopedia of James Bond movies? A lot, apparently! Steve is a guy who has clearly done his homework, and knows how to share his …

Magician Anthony Presciutti Makes the Sherpa Disappear! (Wait, you were WISHING for That??!)

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Liz Priestley!
True story: Within 5 minutes of meeting on Zoom, Liz and I were already giggly. She liked my Paul McCartney impression, too. Or, maybe someone spiked my yak milk, I'm not sure. Liz is the type of person that you can't help …

Pigeon Hunting (No, not really!) with the Multi-Talented Katherine Brodsky of "Mind The Future"!!
What a great Christmas present for an interview! Soooo much fun talking with Katherine, who's got too many talents ("Too Many Talents!" Does the Sherpa smell a podcast sequel?) that I can list in this space. I don't think I'…

Why can Sarah Alcorn of "Ivy League Murders" hunt down clues, while the Sherpa lives life without one?
I got to speak to two amazing ladies this week, Rebels, and these interviews were so fascinating.! Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sarah Alcorn, a PI, who co-hosts this true crime podcast. The lady really knows a …

John Orlando's podcast is PVD-lightful! (Seriously,...I couldn't come up with a more clever title???!!)
This was a fun interview, Rebels. I felt John was a really interesting guest, and I'm glad you get to hear this interview. I, too, had aspirations of becoming a pro wrestler, but I kept putting the mask on backwards. Which m…

Buckle Up! It's time to visit William Walley in the "World of Walley"!
William Walley strikes me as a guy who could do a podcast solo and fill it with stories about his life. I'm sure he can draw upon his wealth of experiences quite easily. It was lots of fun getting to know him, even if he was…

Tuning In (and Geeking out) to "Earth Station One", with Mike Faber!!
Not to sound like a broken record (Um, doesn't a broken record make no sound?) but I love episodes where I get to learn stuff. Mike Faber was the perfect guy to introduce me to the "con" (convention) world. Especially for s…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Richard Burgin!
Richard Burgin was really interesting to talk to. I won't give away too much, but you'll hear the inspiration behind "Fang", and how he used the tools and skills he has to get the project off the ground. I'm sure when his mo…

The Election's Over, but Vote for Middagh Goodwin, Anyway!
Before we started our interview, my first words to Middagh were, "Okay, I'm jealous." To which he responded, "Of what?" Well, I won't name names, but he was in a picture standing next to an 80's rocker I've been trying to ge…

Michael Spedden of "Fowl Players Radio" : from Hair-band god to Operatic Viking getting a structured settlement! (Well, kind of...)
Seriously, could I keep mispronouncing Mike's name? ( The last name, not the first!) Mike is one of those people that you talk to for a short time, but you feel like you've known him a long time. He's much more than your ave…

It's the guys from " Canned Air"! (Which is NOTHING like "Podcast In A Mason Jar")
I can imagine Jack, Jeremy, and Randy running the world's coolest comic book and video store, after this interview. They have a deep passion for comics, movies, video games, etc., and it really shows. They love playing games…

Yo, DJ, play that Podcast! Darran Bruce of "The DJ Sessions" is in the Mix!
Darran Bruce strikes me as a guy who likes to be ahead of the curve. As opposed to me. who tends to trip on it, and get tangled up in it. What he says about playing copyrighted material is very important to podcasters,becaus…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Scotty Morris of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy!
I really enjoyed talking to Scotty as much as I did mixing in the band's music for this episode! You can't just sit still and listen to it, although I must say my jitterbugging skills need serious repair, as do 2 lamps, a to…

(Friday the 13th at) The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet C.J. Graham! (Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives)
All the time that I was interviewing C.J. Graham, I wondered to myself "What does it take to get into the right mindset to play a homicidal maniac?" Then, I realized, well, I used to work for one, so why not draw on that? Bu…

Double Podcaster Jb Ellis Shuts Out A Slam-Dunk Field Goal! (...Or Something Like That?)
