Mela Borawski of the"Belle,Book,&Candle" podcast leaves us "spellbound" for Halloween!

October 31, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MB

First, I apologize for my staticky mic in the beginning. Was a curse, cast on me? Nah, just a hinky wire. But I digress. I honestly didn't know what to expect when i arranged the interview with Mela. But as a surprise, it was certainly pleasant. I love it when I get the chance to learn about interesting things like witchcraft ( No Sinatra song here, but hum along, if you must). Is it a scary interview? Well I think it's more interesting than scary, personally. But have a listen. At the vert ...

Trick or Treat! It's Jennifer Page, of "I Talk To Ghosts" !!

October 31, 2023 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41 MB

Happy Halloween, Rebels! (Or Happy Millard Fillmore day, if you're listening on another day.) "Odd Tonic" might be on a break, but as Jennifer told me, she loves a good ghost story, and the opportunity to tell one. Thus came the inspiration for "I Talk To Ghosts". This may be YOUR next favorite spooky podcast, Rebels! Throw in a dash of ghost stories, Jennifer's perssonal haunted experiences (and as you'll hear, there's quite a few), and some spooky atmosphere, and voila! A podcast potion fo...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Nicole Shiflett!

October 25, 2023 10:00 - 25 minutes - 35.4 MB

It's not often I get to speak with a student of a coach that I've interviewed (in this case, previous guest David Thompson.). Here's an interesting interview with a true up-and comer in the acting world, as well as the....no, wait, you'll have to hear the interview to find out the rest! Thanks for coming on the show, Nicole! Nicole on Instagram: @nshiflett007 More thanks: Publicist Extraordinaire: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Steven Joiner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music Credits/Voiceovers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bruce Goldberg⁠⁠...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Zach Arnold!

October 18, 2023 10:00 - 27 minutes - 38.6 MB

So you want to talk impressions? Not to brag, but I have the best impression of our own Sherpa Chalet mailman, "Winky" Baristroikas. I will only do it on the show if I get enough requests on the Sherpalution social media pages. And when Winky's lawyers leave me alone. That's the impression that I get. Hey. look, I'm quoting the Mighty Mighty Bosstones! I don't do an impression of them, though. Maybe Zach does? Oh yes, that was the point I was getting to! Thanks for coming on the show, Zach!...

Brandon Schexnayder of "Southern Gothic" brings the spooky- with a Southern accent!

October 11, 2023 10:00 - 46 minutes - 53.2 MB

Simple life lesson, Rebels: If someone says " I spent a lot of my childhood in cemeteries", you KNOW you're in for an interesting conversation! Such was the case when I got to meet Brandon. Although(, as of yet,) he hasn't had immediate contact with any ghost, spirit, monster, or Amway salesman, he's still got plenty of spooky stories for you on his podcast. (I still wonder if George Strait has any ghost stories, even though all his exes live in Texas.) So, check out "Southern Gothic", learn...

UFO chat, with Brian Dunning of "Skeptoid" and the Alien (Oops, we mean, The Sherpa)!

October 04, 2023 10:00 - 47 minutes - 54.7 MB

I didn't realize that after all of these episodes, I never really had the opportunity to talk about UFO's; but as you'll hear in the interview, I was fortunate to interview Brian to finally do so. The premise for "The UFO Movie That THEY Don't Want You To See" certainly sounds enticing for UFO enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike. But I'm sure you'll be quite enlightened after hearing this interview. And further enlighten yourself with some "Sherpa Samples", and check out his podcast "Skept...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Debbie Sue Goodman!

September 27, 2023 10:00 - 22 minutes - 31.2 MB

And now, Rebels, meet writer, actor, comic impressionist, vocalist, knife thrower (ummm, not sure about that last one)Debbie Sue Goodman. Thanks for coming on the show, Debbie Sue! Debbie Sue's info: Website: stillsingle.org X: @StillSingle2; Instagram: @debbiesueg3; Facebook:@debbie.s.goodman.9; YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL72pw7QAQAIrKybyMfs69A More thanks: Publicist Extraordinaire: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Steven Joiner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music Credits/Voiceovers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bruce Goldberg⁠⁠⁠...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Acting/ Life Coach David Thompson!

September 20, 2023 10:00 - 38 minutes - 53.9 MB

My conversation with David strongly reinforces the advice that we've gotten here from so many actors. Remember all those "W's", aspiring actors! (And it's only "woohoo" when you get the part, by the way! Have a listen! Thanks, David, for coming on the show! David's website: www.davidthompsoncoaching.co Facebook: @actingcoachdavid1 ; X: @davidwaynethom6 .

Find out what's on The Sherpa's Podcast Playlist! (Inquiring Minds want to know...something else...)

September 13, 2023 10:00 - 31 minutes - 43.5 MB

So, every time I have a podcaster on, I always ask them for podcast recommendations. But I realize it's been a while since I got to talk about some of my faves. So, I present to you, Rebels of the Sherpalution, the Sherpa Podcast Playlist! Next week, I'll be back with a guest! (Unless this episode scares them away???) The Sherpa's Faves: The Newsworthy Money Rehab Be Wealthy and Smart The Clark Howard Show Science Vs. The Podcasting Business School Talk About Talk Conan O'Brien Need...

Andrew Johnson sharing Wisdom on "The 3-13: Men Money and Marriage" (Which 2 does the Sherpa screw up?)

September 06, 2023 11:00 - 45 minutes - 52.3 MB

Another guest from the Wisdom app, you say? Yesiree, Bob! (Although I don't know who Bob is, but I know he's not my uncle, you there in the U.K.) This interview was borne from an absolutely fascinating conversation on the Wisdom app (which you can participate or listen in on),which we got to continue here. Andrew's podcast is a straightforward, honest, analysis of manhood, and what it truly entails in regard to relationships. It's powerful stuff, and real food for thought. Now, what other po...

It's Mike Cannici, of "In The Spotlight", on his many guests (but not Christopher Guest...yet) !!

August 30, 2023 10:00 - 41 minutes - 48.3 MB

Here's a guy who started with local interviews, which grew into a larger show with even more well-known folks. (My show only becomes larger by eating more and standing on its toes.) And this is the episode that features...nutmeg! I don't even think Joe Rogan or "This American Life" does that. Maybe Ben Shapiro can talk about it with that unnatural sped-up voice? One can only dream, Rebels! Um, I think I've gone off track-Thanks for coming on the show, Mike! (Glad I fixed THAT problem unnotic...

The return of "Too Many 80's Songs"...Live on AMP!!

August 23, 2023 11:00 - 17 minutes - 24.3 MB

(Note: Amazon has announced that the AMP app will be shutting down 10/31/2023. NOT due to anything I did...I think. I am hoping for a new platform to be announced, and will keep you informed of any "online deejaying" I hope to do in the future.) Even though it initially made a semi-splash, doing "Too Many 80's Songs" was so much fun for me ,being such an 80's music fan. And now I get to try it again!. Just download the Amp app, and look for @podcastsherpa. I'll be playing as many of your 80...

The Always Wonderful Allison Sharpe with Wonderful Life Advice!

August 16, 2023 11:00 - 17 minutes - 39.8 MB

So here's a treat for you, Rebels! A few years back, I did a little side project called "The Expert Factory", where I had folks come on to give advice. (Which explains why you don't hear too much of me on this episode!) If you've been a listener for a while, you'll know that Allison has always been one of my favorite people in Podcastia. She was my first interview, and the guest in my 20th episode, too, so feel free to check those episodes out, and you'll see why. Allison recently announce...

Better Late Than Never? The short, delayed Episode!

August 10, 2023 11:00 - 17 minutes - 25.1 MB

It's under 20 minutes today! Since I could not get either of my "hoped for" interviews recorded in enough time, I figured it was time for a mini-episode. So, it's about what's going on in the Sherpa Chalet, and of course, with "Sherpa Samples." Have a listen!! These are the podcasts featured in "Sherpa Samples" The Ezra Klein Show PBD Podcast I Beg Your Pardon? Blank Check with Griffin and David Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast The Lowe Post The Really Good Podcast Financial Femin...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Songwriter/Musician Lisa Marie Barnes!

August 02, 2023 11:00 - 39 minutes - 54.9 MB

Multi-talented AND multi-instrumental! In the short time that we had our interview, you can really tell how much Lisa Marie cares about her craft, and how much she does to follow her vision, whether it be audio or video. But I think we need to hold a recruiting fair to help her find more women musicians to collaborate with. (I would gladly help, but it appears the Lovely Sherpa Bride has me handcuffed to Mr. Fluffy (the mountain lion) to ensure that I'm staying put. So much for finding new t...

A Not Diffi-"cult" chat with Sharon & Tracey of "Feet of Clay-Confessions of the Cult Sisters"!!

July 26, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 88.3 MB

Warning: Some strong language. (Does that make us heathens? Eh, probably not...) This was a great opportunity to get to hear an actual story of belonging to a religious cult, and the ladies were just incredible guests. (Super nice, too!) It's interesting when you're a teenager and you wonder what your life will be like 30-40 years from that point. I'm sure Tracey and Sharon wouldn't have imagined doing their podcast at this point in their lives. But it's a fascinating story, and, as they tol...

Break out your comic books!! Rocker/Writer Jesse Blaze Snider ("Coolest Geek Alive" ) Returns!

July 19, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 81.5 MB

(*Bit of Strong Language in this one. Surprised? Didn't think so...) So, Jesse texted me (yes, he has my number!) ,saying, "I have a podcast, give me publicity!" Done, my friend! I had so much fun with him on our first interview (but The Cranberries still might be a bit sore...) ,so I could only imagine what his podcast is like. And to all of you who love geek culture, I say, " Highly recommended!" (Again, surprised? Didn't think so...) And keep an eye open for his graphic novel, "King of Ki...

Fly cheap! Meet Jared Kamrowski of thriftytraveler.com !!

July 12, 2023 11:00 - 33 minutes - 46.7 MB

Show of hands! Who wants to go away on a trip? (No, not with me, don't worry. Besides, you're raising your hand for an audio medium?) You know how I love educational and entertaining interviews, and this one doesn't disappoint. Jared's website is truly a labor of love that can end up saving you some big buckaroos (money, not cowboys). And you'll learn in this interview the best way to plan out an affordable trip. Thanks for coming on the show, Jared! Jared's website: https://thriftytraveler...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Actress Victoria Bell! ("Heir of the Witch")

July 05, 2023 10:00 - 38 minutes - 52.7 MB

Victoria is the writer, director, and lead actor in "Heir of the Witch" , a horror/psychological thriller , with an August 2023 release. Let's get to know her, the TRUE story behind the creation of the movie, and her experiences while making the movie.. (Special thanks to previous guest Chip White and Pat Moore of Pasha Entertainment...you guys know what you did!) Thanks for coming on the show, Victoria! Website: https://www.heirofthewitch.com/ Scary movie trailer: https://www.youtube.com...

We Say "Buh Bye (to Season 10)"!!

June 28, 2023 10:00 - 18 minutes - 25.7 MB

Well, Rebels, it's time for the mini-episode where I get to give thanks to all of those who made this season what it was. (What was it? Honestly, no idea.) If you're new to the show, simply subscribe to check out what you've missed. Our episodes are all over the place (See below). I've really got to clean up the Sherpa Chalet! Until then, we'll see you next week, for the Season 11 premiere! These are the podcasts featured in "Sherpa Suggestions": The B-Line Web Show Movie Theatre Time Ma...

Headlines, Chalk Outlines, and Police Line-ups, with Robert Riggs of "True Crime Reporter"!! (Season 10 Finale)

June 21, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 83 MB

(Since this interview is about true crime, there are mentions of violence. Please take care when listening, if this is an emotional trigger.) Wow! What a way to wrap up season 10! Robert's email saying he wanted to do the interview came just at the nick of time. Otherwise, you'd hear me rambling on about my favorite toenails. Robert has won over 50 awards for journalism, and has witnessed some truly historic events first-hand, as well. "True Crime Reporter" is a real reflection of his journa...

The Short Episode!

June 14, 2023 10:00 - 19 minutes - 27 MB

Yep Rebels, another quick episode for ya. Stay fir the "Sherpa Samples", leave with a cannoli. Or something like that. In addition to mentioning the websites an apps I mentioned aren't sponsors of the show, and are just recommendations by my experience, I also forgot to apologize for some of the clicking sounds on my edit...ugh! But that's not the fault of what I'm using. (This one sounds nice, right? right??) These are the podcasts featured in "Sherpa Samples" Spellcaster Scamanda The ...

Podcasting...on a Budget!! (Can it be done?)

June 07, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 42.2 MB

At long last! A peek behind the curtain at Sherpa-Lu Studios! (Oops, sorry, madam, wrong curtain...). Anyway, these are the websites and apps that I've used to create this show, and also, some for you to check out: Podcast Platforms: Spotify for Podcasts; YouTube Microphones I've used: Samson Q2 and Blue Snowball Recording: Skype, Zoom, Riverside.fm, Adobe Podcast, Zencaster.com, Cleanfeed.com Mixing: Audacity, GarageBand Final Mastering: Auphonic.com Design and Promotion: Canva.com, ...

Meet Tonia Gilbert, LPN ! ( A Tribute to Nurses and Healthcare Professionals)

May 31, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 42.7 MB

There are SOOOOO many different kinds of healthcare professionals out there that deserve this kind of praise (and from a better podcast,too!) Fortunately , I was able to chat with Tonia, who provided a lot of insight into the nursing field. Please have a listen to her story, and about the amazing charity that she has in the works. While you're doing that, I'll be visiting South Brooklyn to check the authenticity of their accents. Thanks for coming on the show, Tonia! Tonia's charity: Don't...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Bennett Yellin!

May 24, 2023 10:00 - 50 minutes - 69.9 MB

So, how cool is Bennett? Keeping audiences ( and me, in this interview) laughing and entertained, Keeping Woody Allen off the toilet, and keeping a million dollars from John Hughes! I'm lucky if I can keep an imaginary secret. (I heard it from Homer Simpson himself. I think..) This was a fun one to do, unfortunately during a writer's strike, but what are ya gonna do, as they say? But have a listen to his tales of getting "Dumb and Dumber" off the ground, and some really interesting perspectiv...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Don Smith!

May 17, 2023 10:00 - 35 minutes - 49.7 MB

As you can tell, with a guest like Don, interviews are super easy, as he's always got a great story to tell, about a wide array of topics, too! Unfortunately, I couldn't get to the link in which i appeared on his show, "The Life", but trust me, given my level of comedic talent, it's best that you're protected, like Don does with weapons! The guy seriously has sooo much talent , so whether it's a comedy club, tv show, or movie, you can be guaranteed he'll make it interesting. Thanks for comin...

You'll be a "Fanacek" of his podcast! Meet....Fanacek!

May 10, 2023 10:00 - 44 minutes - 61.6 MB

I guess that I can relate to Fanacek's tale of being babysat by the TV. I'm sure most of you can relate to sharing a crib with a 24" RCA, right? (Just me? Ummm... never mind.) But TV plays an important part of most people's lives. It feeds your passions, makes you laugh or cry, or makes you want to stand up for a cause. And those are just the commercials! But his podcast is certainly one that pays homage to the shows we remember so well, or maybe barely, along with what you might enjoy watch...

Old Friends and Big Dogs Only! It's Scott from the "No New Friends" Podcast!

May 03, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 58.4 MB

Rebels, at a certain age, I guess it's tricky to make new friends. (I still don't understand why I get so much flak for handing out applications. My rejection letters are highly regarded, you know...) It was interesting getting to know Scott, and hearing the story of how the podcast came into existence. We're going to have to do something about that podcast that keeps them from winning that award. I would suggest a horse head microphone, to send a message, but that might be kind of cool you ...

Get that "MoJOE", with Joe McCarthy, of "MoJOE studio" !!

April 26, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 58.9 MB

Rebels, this took a few tries, but ultimately, was well worth it. If you hear my Wisdom chats (see info below), you'll notice Joe is a pretty regular visitor, and we always get into some interesting chats. Which is really what the Wisdom app is all about. (Okay, please stop wondering what your sherpa is doing on an app called "Wisdom"...)I always learn a little more about Joe with each of our chats, and the info you'll hear was pretty new to me,too! To me, he's on that "elite list" of folks ...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Chip White!

April 19, 2023 10:00 - 36 minutes - 50.4 MB

The thing you'll probably notice the most about Chip in this interview is how humble he is. Even when we were setting up the interview, he told me, " I'm just a producer. You sure you want me on your podcast?" (Spoiler alert: YESSSS!!!) He's definitely someone with so many accomplishments under his belt, with even more to come. There's no stopping his boundless creativity and dedication to his craft. And that's a good thing for everyone, Rebels! Thanks for coming on the show, Chip! More tha...

"Too Many Podcasts!" Meets YouTube! (And other important sounding news!)

April 12, 2023 10:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MB

If you want full disclosure, I've had a YouTube channel for quite some time, and I kind of forgot about it for a while. But I found that as I got better with my audio (I did...didn't I?) , I was actually having fun with creating my video promos. Now, not everyone follows me on social media (and you know who you are...) so I wanted to provide them with a chance to not only check out the promos, but to hear the podcast as well. So, voila! the resurrection of my YouTube channel! But in this epi...

Dreaming Rhinos and Podcasts! Meet Aaron Peve of "The B&W Show"!

April 05, 2023 10:00 - 31 minutes - 50.7 MB

To be honest, Rebels, I'm not sure if I'd want to be in the same pen as a rhinoceros. With my luck, it would probably look upon me as, um, an appetizer. But at least it provided Aaron with enough inspiration for a book. (Much safer to watch it sleeping, don't you think?) And much credit to Aaron and his co-host, Vel, for "The B&W Show". I love their tagline of "fighting racism at its source-ignorance" . It's amazing how 6 words can make you think about how we treat other people. Thanks for c...

It's the Ladies from "Allegedly Credible" (talking to an allegedly talented podcast sherpa?)!!

March 29, 2023 10:00 - 44 minutes - 61.7 MB

Rebels, it was such a treat to get to know these two ladies. It's amazing that 2 people with such different outlooks on life can combine their collective skills to make such an interesting podcast. (If I were to meet my polar opposite, well, he'd be, um....normal?) It just goes to show you that if you've got the heart and the drive, you can pull it all together for a podcast that can truly touch people. Thanks so much to Danielle and Melanie for swinging by! "Allegedly Credible" faves: New ...

It's Adam from the "Podcasting Business School"!! (and the sound of this podcast growing!)

March 22, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 59.3 MB

It's always a treat to meet a fellow podcast fan (and also, a fellow "Fandy") who also happens to be on my regular podcast playlist,as well. When listening to Adam's show, I can assure you, no "hoop jumping" is required. It's all a common sense approach to getting more listeners. But we'll get to know him, and he offers a few pieces of advice here that you should try, if you're a podcaster. And if you're not, just have fun like we did! Also, stay for the Sherpa Samples and stick around to le...

It's The Mini Episode (Contest Announcement included)!!

March 15, 2023 10:00 - 17 minutes - 25 MB

Have you got 18 minutes? Then, listen up! Today, I'm inviting you to follow me on my newsletter, "What's Shakin at The Sherpa Chalet?" , talking about 10 podcasts that are under 10 minutes long in "Sherpa Samples", AND announcing a NEW contest, where your review can win you some podcast merchandise! How much more mini can I get??? These are the podcasts featured on "Sherpa Samples": The 7 Brain Stuff All Things Considered Science, Quickly My Unsung Hero Before Breakfast with Laura Van...

The Wisdom Files, Volume 2: It's Ladies' Night!

March 08, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 82.9 MB

(Content warning: a little strong language in the last interview.)As promised, Rebels, I definitely had to feature some of the amazing women speakers on the Wisdom app. And they certainly do deliver the inspiration in this episode! There's so much to discover and to hear, and I've only provided a mere morsel of that content to you on this show. Again, you can download the Wisdom app for free in your app store of choice (where you can find podcast apps, too), AND you can earn points for gift ...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Larry Hankin Returns! (Pt 2- Warning: a few Expletives in this one...)

March 01, 2023 11:00 - 36 minutes - 50.2 MB

Okay, so not only do you get the conclusion to the interview with Larry Hankin, you also get to hear the voice of the lovely Sherpa Bride! (And you said she didn't exist, you with the hat. Well,in hindsight,I shouldn't have said she goes to a different school...) But Larry , as usual, provides some really interesting responses. And I agree 100% that he's a storyteller. And you'll get to read those stories in his new book. So go buy it. I'll bet you'll be in for a treat! Thanks so much, Larry...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Larry Hankin Returns! (Pt 1)

February 22, 2023 11:00 - 33 minutes - 46.1 MB

I think it was inevitable, Rebels. Larry Hankin, a guy with almost 200 movie and tv roles (and Oscar nominee) and just as many stories behind those roles throughout a 6-decade career (and then some!) is capturing those moments in a book. If you caught the first two-parter we had in March 2020 (Season 3??!!), you can hear a sampling of some of those stories. I think with this two-parter,I got to know him a little better. But don't worry, he had more stories;the man did NOT disappoint! You'll ...

The Sherpa Screening Room:Meet Barry Kesten!

February 15, 2023 11:00 - 35 minutes - 49.4 MB

For someone that you might recognize specifically as a celebrity, Barry has certainly had his share of unplanned celebrity encounters. I don't get to have many in-person encounters. For some odd reason, they always seem to have a pre-written restraining order. Amazing what you can find on the internet these days! And if you're looking on Facebook, maybe you can catch Barry's artwork, which is definitely for lovers of classic comedic artwork (Although, there's a rumor of a "Saturday Night Liv...

The Wisdom Files, Volume 1 !!

February 08, 2023 11:00 - 43 minutes - 60.4 MB

One of my long-planned tasks finally realized! I've been chatting on the Wisdom app for quite some time now, and have met some incredible people along the way. Now, I finally get to share some of my conversations with them, with you. There are wayyyy more files I'll have to go through to dig up even more stuff, but this is a good start, so expect some more volumes in the future. As I've mentioned, it's a free app to download, and you can become a speaker , listener, or both, based on your in...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Bill Willard!

February 01, 2023 11:00 - 50 minutes - 70.3 MB

To be honest, I never really knew too much about the Titanic in great detail. I tried to re-enact it at a nearby pier, but as you know, my Leo DiCaprio impression sounds more like Spongebob Squarepants, which does make it kind of interesting.  But, imagine being Bill and getting to view the wreckage up close and personal. You'll hear in his story about how the crew actually benefited from his presence on their ship. Bill told me that he tries to use relatable items when he's teaching his phy...

We're hopping in the "Movie Theatre Time Machine" and Nick Taber's driving (Thankfully)!

January 25, 2023 11:00 - 45 minutes - 52.3 MB

Welcome to another episode of "The Laryngitis Sessions"! A very special thanks to Lord Mr. Bruce for handling  the intro/outro duties this time! Unfortunately, Nick's wife Caz couldn't join us (she was also part of the abandoned project referenced in the interview), but Nick knows how to take up the slack. As you'll hear, movies have certainly played an important part in his life. And he talks about them like a true fan, as he does on his podcast. And he was glad to hang out in The Sherpa Ch...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Dave Shecter!

January 18, 2023 11:00 - 32 minutes - 30.4 MB

Rebels, I really did have laryngitis at the time this episode was assembled! (Ok, you can stop cheering, you with the hat.) A special thanks to Super Fan Mike for his guest intro and outro (Even though it was kind of recorded under duress. The Sherpa-Lu Studio Voiceover Bots can be a pretty demanding bunch.) Fortunately, I got to record the interview with Dave before my voice was gone. He's a really interesting guy, with, as you can tell, a great sense of humor, and a song in his heart. ( I ...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Jason Varso!

January 11, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 54.3 MB

In the acting world, I certainly wouldn't refer to Jason as "new to the scene", but he was new to podcast interviews at the time of this recording. So, I made sure to save the interrogation questions for another interview. ("Can you recognize this man, sir?" That's George Washington." "And how do you know him?" Well, you are holding up a dollar bill.....") He might be chained to a block in a DUI commercial, but Jason isn't chained to any specific form of acting. (See what I did there?) Let's...

We're making a "B-Line (Web Show)" into Season 10 with Brian B!

January 04, 2023 11:00 - 51 minutes - 95.5 MB

As Brian would say," People! People! Here we are in Season 10!" But trust me, he'd say it a lot cooler than I typed it. It's always fun to kick off a season with someone who's got Brian's kind of enthusiasm. It reminds me of me when I first started out. But just not as tall or charming. And about 10 other things I'd be put in jail for if I wrote. So never mind. I've already forgotten about me. You can hear the ambition in his voice when he discusses the web show ( I'm not allowed to call it ...

Season 9 Is History! (The Recap...)

December 28, 2022 11:00 - 17 minutes - 32.1 MB

Well, Rebels, it's that time of the season. No, not THAT season, the end of my podcast season! Of course, we're going to be acknowledging lots of special people and podcasts, and let you know what's new with the Sherpalution. Don't worry, no major changes. You're still stuck with The Sherpa and his general lack of talent. (Sorry!) But there will be lots to look forward to in Season 10. So, a very special thanks to all who have made this show possible through this season, and an extra word of...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Sherry Nelson! (Season 9 Finale)

December 21, 2022 11:00 - 27 minutes - 50.1 MB

She's got almost 30,000 followers on Instagram, and is one of the most down-to-earth, and gracious people that you'll ever meet. I'm lucky if I get one person following me who's not yelling, "Stop! Police!" (But that's a story for a cocktail party.) I really admire how Sherry is expanding her career resume to be known as not just a model, but also as a lady with an arsenal of talents. (I'll bet I could make it onto the pages of Maxim magazine ,too. Especially if they're looking for "fashion ...

The Shera Screening Room: Meet Steven Adam Renkovish!

December 14, 2022 11:00 - 46 minutes - 85.8 MB

Sometimes, dear Rebels, it pays to go straight to the source. Which is exactly why I was fortunate to speak to Steven. "The Awakening of Lilith" is a dark film, visually and emotionally, and I (and you) got to hear his explanation for the tone and mood of the movies, and from what roots they grew from. It has a sort of dream-like quality to it, getting interrupted by bursts of reality. (Wow, I'm sounding like a real film critic here, huh? No? Well, I gave it a shot...) As of this writing, yo...

Steven Jay Rubin Returns! And he's bringing his podcast with him this time!

December 07, 2022 11:00 - 49 minutes - 79.3 MB

Always a pleasure to speak with Steve Rubin, now doing his own movie podcast, which just so happens to be produced by previous guest, Ben Shrewsbury! The guy may have written 2 encyclopedias,but that's exactly the best description  of his knowledge of movies, too. Hey, maybe I'll get cast in his next movie? I can very ably master the part of "Guy on The Cutting room floor". After all, don't I always end up on the floor anyway? But you definitely need to check out his podcast, if you love mov...

Good Audio, Guns, and Gilbert! It's the "Everyday Odysseys" of Frank Verderosa!

November 30, 2022 11:00 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MB

This was a good one, Rebels. Frank was a real treat to talk to, and as you'll hear, lots of fun.He's really made a great career out of a lifelong passion. And what dumb luck for me that he's friends with my old neighbor? (Well, most of my luck is dumb, to be honest...) Face it. The guy knows how to make things sound good, which is only a small reason to check out "Everyday Odysseys" and the upcoming "Unsung". It's not only an audio-immersive experience, it's also got the great storytelling e...
