Episodes
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Marc Sheffler ! (Warning:Some Strong Language)
November 23, 2022 11:00 - 40 minutes - 64.8 MBAfter well over 200 episodes, I can say I've heard a pretty wide range of people's life stories. But, as you'll hear, Marc's is truly unique. If you first saw him in "Last House On The Left" ,which was banned in several countries, you'll see that he really presents a unique perspective on it. Plus, you'll hear about his career as a comic and as a comedy writer. Further proof that if you looked up "charmed life" in the dictionary (wait a minute, do people actually look things up in dictionari...
Time for My Close-Up! It's Filmmaker Bryan Parkerson of "That Other Interview Show"!
November 16, 2022 11:00 - 58 minutes - 94 MBIt's funny how this interview sort of turns into a "Filmmaking 101" masterclass. But that's where Bryan's passion for movies and moviemaking shines right through. He's a guy who went from cybersecurity to being behind the camera. And what an interesting journey it's been for him. Keep an eye open for his upcoming projects, and in the meantime, check out his podcast. And given what I learned about camera lenses, I'm guessing the best lens on me would be the one on the camera that's turned off...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet John Bukowski!
November 09, 2022 11:00 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBSooooo...who doesn't like a good suspense novel? ( Okay, no one asked you, you with the hat.) With the types of novels that John enjoyed growing up, an acting and medical background, and his authoring ability, I'm sure this was pretty much an inevitable no brainer for John. Which, oddly enough, was my nickname in high school. But I digress. I think all of the authors that I've interviewed somehow write about themselves in their characters. But if I did that, there would just be so many searc...
It's Voice Over Actor Flynn Hendrix of "I Know You Hear Me" (aka The Headlock Episode)!!!
November 02, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBIt's easy to say Flynn is a nice guy and a lot of fun. Provided you're FAR away from a wrestling ring. IN a wrestling ring, I'll just pray for a head start to run, By about 2 days. But as you'll hear in this interview, he's truly someone who puts his heart and soul into whatever he does, and is appreciative of the opportunity to do it. ( I hope Vic the Bruiser isn't reading this...) And on his podcast, he's brought so many worlds together, which makes for an interesting listen. Whether or no...
It's the King of the Movie Deep Dive, Mike White, of "The Projection Booth"!
October 26, 2022 10:00 - 46 minutes - 43.1 MBI normally don't come across podcasts that get high marks from other media, (Not like you'll find this podcast that way....) but "The Projection Booth" is certainly an exception to the rule. (I realized that I think I violated his third rule of having a successful show. I'll try harder in my next life.) But the breadth of knowledge that Mike has about all sorts of movies is nothing short of incredible. I'd bet he could make a lot of money as a guy who can resolve bar bets about movie trivia....
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet DJ Shattine!
October 19, 2022 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBI know I say this a lot, Rebels, (mostly because I'm right and love to see my printed predictions, tee-hee) but DJ falls on my list of actors to watch. He's a guy with an interesting story and a true dedication to the craft of acting. I still think it would be interesting for him to play a cyber crime detective, since that stems from his background. And who knows, maybe one day Leo DiCaprio will be in the background of one of his scenes? (And you wouldn't be saying, "Hey ,was that Leonardo D...
Up, Periscope! It's Khalil Smith of the "IDON Active Health Show"!
October 12, 2022 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.6 MB"It's always the quiet ones you've gotta watch out for," they always say. (Who exactly "they" are, I have no clue. ) But you wouldn't think that this soft-spoken young man would be running a podcast, a clothing line, and fine-tuning our Naval recruits into a solid, fighting machine. You can hear in Khalil's words that he's very driven and goal-oriented. And how hard is that to do , when you're living on a submarine? I worry enough about the submarines in my bathtub! So whether he's above or ...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Heath Martin!
October 05, 2022 10:00 - 51 minutes - 48 MBYou've gotta hand it to Heath-the guy knows how to make himself heard. Whether acting, singing, or doing voice-over work, you will eventually catch those baritone tones somewhere! I love it when the voiceover actors come on the show, and you never know what voice is going to come out of them. And Heath kept me laughing with his. He's truly a guy who's grateful for where he is today, and he's not afraid to give credit to those who helped get him there. I'm sure that in the near future, he'll ...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Laura Ann Heaton Gray!
September 28, 2022 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBQuite the privilege to speak to this lady, who's been heralded for her work in Christian film. It's been quite a journey for this Alabama native, and she's got a really interesting story to go with it. Also, you can hear about her connection with a previous Sherpa Screening Room guest! (No, not Lord Mr. Bruce...) Keep an eye open for Laura Ann's projects, as she's certainly one busy lady. Thanks for coming on the show, Laura Ann! Laura Ann's info: website: lauraannheatongray.com ;Facebook ...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Edward Dose!
September 21, 2022 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41.2 MBPersonally Rebels, this episode was another treat for me. I love doing episodes about music, and I've wanted to do one about photography. So. BA-BAM! Two worlds get thrown together, courtesy of Mr Edward Dose. He's someone who wasn't planning on becoming a professional photographer who has photographed well over 100 rock stars. Talk about a change in plans! He's not just a "rocktographer" (don't you love that word?), he's someone whose pictures become a work of art, regardless of who or what...
Percy Brown, of "The Prince of Fresh Air" podcast, brings the charisma...AND his hair!
September 14, 2022 10:00 - 43 minutes - 99.5 MBThere's that word that came to mind when I interviewed Percy. Big. A big guy, well over 6 feet tall. Big hair. Big charisma, with a big Cheshire cat grin. Moved from one big city in a big state to another big city in a big state. So was it a shock to hear him say he'd love to play a Marvel villian? Nothing small about that. Here's a young guy who knows what he wants in his career and how to market himself -a big blueprint, if you will. He was also big fun to hang around with. So, have a list...
Producer, Director, Actor, Author, Foodie, Podcaster-Put 'Em Together, it's Michael Arbouet of "The Quidditas Factor"!
September 07, 2022 10:00 - 43 minutes - 99.6 MBNot sure how many times I referenced it during the show,, but check out the "New York Minute" movie on YouTube. It's amazing how Michael can create so much tension for a movie in a short period of time. (I'm not talking the "New York Minute" music video from Don Henley. That's probably an entirely different source of tension.) Michael's definitely a guy who keeps himself busy with a lot of different projects. (AND he taught me the proper pronunciation of "quidditas" . Try using that word in ...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Stanley Livingston (Part 2 of 2)!
September 01, 2022 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBWe couldn't leave you hanging , Rebels! Today's the conclusion of this two-parter. Learn what Stan did after 13 seasons of "My Three Sons", and what he's doing today to help aspiring actors, and parents of child actors. He may have had a career of over 50 years, but this guy is STILL keeping busy. And I'm glad that I had the privilege to get to know him. Thanks for coming on the show, Stan! Stan's website: (Which he told me is due for an update, but check it out anyway!) stanlivingston.com...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Stanley Livingston! (Part 1 of 2)
August 31, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MBSo, how cool was it for me to have a conversation with a guy who grew up on TV while I was growing up, um, off TV? This absolutely had to be a 2-parter, because Stan had so many interesting tales to tell. Today covers his family's move to California and his start in the movies and TV, just from learning to swim. No joke! Just have a listen to what the guy has to say. Just don't say "Cable guy!" when you see him. Or me, either. They're always making me reboot that thing! And don't forget to t...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Stephen Pitalo!
August 24, 2022 10:00 - 52 minutes - 48.8 MBThis one was a treat to do, Rebels. Stephen is not only a music video expert, he's also an author, musician, and too many things that I can think of! His website is a fascinating way to spend some time, especially, if you're checking out the articles in his magazine. While you're on there, there's a link to him making a speech about the history of music video, which is a really fun 15-minute ride. So if you think that MTV was never a place for the hottest music videos, well, you're in for a ...
Hooray for Hollywood (Wade)! We're talking about the "Crime & Entertainment" podcast!
August 17, 2022 10:00 - 37 minutes - 35 MBHere's a podcast that takes true crime podcasts to another level, Rebels. Wade gets the straight story from people who were involved in crimes, or the investigation of crimes. That means you won't necessarily hear "the same old story" when it comes to what you might have seen or heard on the news or other podcasts. This interview was really interesting, Rebels (but aren't they all?), and Hollywood is certainly a contender for the "best beard in Podcastia" contest. Too bad I can't do a comb-...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Dylan Kelley!
August 10, 2022 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBI can certainly say that after well over 200 episodes, I've never heard a life story even similar to that of Dylan's. But I guess he does put that uniqueness into whatever he does, or wants to do. As you'll hear in this interview, he clearly didn't hold back in talking about himself, and the demons he's faced. We all have our demons, and unfortunately, mine all look like HR Pufnstuf. (Just ask your parents. Or grandparents, you in the hat.) But, thanks for coming on the show, Dylan! You can...
Everybody's Got a "Hungry Trilobyte" (Sorry, Mr. Springsteen!)! Let's Chat With Aaron Bossig!
August 03, 2022 10:00 - 39 minutes - 90.7 MBSome call Aaron Publicist Extraordinaire Steve Joiner's right hand. If I was someone's right hand, I'd probably get punched a lot with it. I enjoyed Aaron's stories of reviewing DVD's. Imagine that being your job! For me, that would be the closest I'd get to "Mystery Science Theatre 3000". And yet, some of the movies Aaron watched could have probably been on that show! But, have a listen to the interview to get to know this super-nice, talented podcaster, and check out his show, too. Thanks...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Christy Crandall!
July 27, 2022 10:00 - 28 minutes - 64.6 MBHumble, Rebels. That's the word that comes to mind when I spoke with Christy. Not only did she serve her country for many years, and rise in the ranks while doing so, but she was also able to pursue her love of acting and directing afterward. Clearly, the lady gets the meaning of the word "leadership". She doesn't limit herself to one genre, either, as a peek at her IMDB page https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7663869/ will tell you. And to be able to do that, some would say, is worth a medal in i...
Discover "What's Under the Bed?" with Dax (with help from his dad, Kai)! (Season 9 Premiere)
July 20, 2022 10:00 - 46 minutes - 43.2 MBAhh, fathers and sons! I find it so cool that Dax and Kai have a strong bond over their love of horror movies, which ultimately led to his podcast. The scariest thing I ever did with my dad was "get the screwdriver". And we all know what mayhem THAT will lead to! But that actually gives me an idea for a horror movie when I get to speak to another movie director. You can just hear the enjoyment in their voices when they talk about their favorites and their love for the genre. Which kind of r...
It's the Season 8 Last Flight Out!!
July 13, 2022 10:00 - 26 minutes - 61.3 MBYes, Rebels, Season 9 will start next week. But first a look back on the past season. Thanks to all who had a hand in this season, and especially to you, the listener! If you're listening on Spotify, please take a minute to answer some questions. Nothing personal. (At least that's what I was told at gunpoint.) Sherpa Suggestions (Season 8 Podcasts): Two Marks and A Spark (Ben Shrewsbury) The Random Kristian Show (Kristian Madsden) Cymbalistic Cynicism (Gabe Cymbalista) Surviving Abuse (...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Jennifer Vaughn! (Season 8 Finale)
July 06, 2022 10:00 - 46 minutes - 106 MBBack when I was a wee Sherpa, news anchor Walter Cronkite was considered "the most trusted man in America". Around jellybeans might have been a different story, but I digress. Sometimes, I wonder if ,in this day and age, the evening news could be a source of that trust again. I must say that in speaking to Jennifer, you can most definitely hear the dedication to her profession in her responses to my questions. Maybe those who report the news and are more concerned about their image, rather t...
Although "You Hate To See It", you get to hear it , from hosts Nick and Jeff!
June 29, 2022 10:00 - 44 minutes - 102 MBI really should have known better here, Rebels. Interviewing guys on a unique podcast gave me a unique interview. Who knew I'd end up talking about sleep disorders?? But Jeff and Nick had interesting tales to tell about both their friendship and the podcast. Unfortunately, Adam, the third host, was unable to attend , due to a SpaceX launch. ( I don't know, it was written on a cocktail napkin.) But these guys with a Criminal Justice background like to put an interesting spin on the world of t...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Dale Niehaus (Again)!
June 22, 2022 10:00 - 32 minutes - 30.3 MBSo, if you were listening to this show on July 23, 2020 (and why weren't you?), you heard one of my "Faces to Watch" episodes, featuring Dale. And as we noted in this show, what a difference a year makes! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Dale's show, "The Joneses" will be picked up by a streaming network. The guy has certainly kept himself occupied with even bigger projects than a short film a month. On so many episodes , we've heard actors say how patience has got to be a virtue in their...
Eat the Microfilm! It's ex-Army spy Pete Turner, of "The Break It Down Show"!
June 15, 2022 10:00 - 46 minutes - 106 MBInteresting coincidence- Pete has interviewed drummer Stewart Copeland, and a week later, I hear an interview with Tim Ferriss, and who else? Stewart Copeland! What can we conclude from this, Rebels? Stewart Copeland is clearly avoiding me. But that has little bearing on today's episode. Pete has definitely spent time with greats, near-greats, and people who will leave you in wide-eyed wonder. And he gets their stories out with the passion of a former spy. I'm glad he was able to discuss thi...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet John Anthony!
June 08, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 35.2 MBSo, exactly how do you go from a middle school coach to an actor , writer, and director? Just listen to John's story and learn one way to do it. He's smart enough to know if there isn't a role out there for him, he can always create one. Kind of how I do my taxes. (Wait, did I just type that)? Jihn falls into that category of people that you want to root for. With all that talent, I'm sure we'll be seeing great things from this guy. Thanks so much for coming on the show John! Now, if you'll...
Will and Karen, of "The Skeptic Metaphysicians"podcast, make an Afterlife House Call!
June 01, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 87 MBJealous, Rebels! I had to tell Will and Karen before our interview how jealous I am of the audio on their podcast. So, they just laughed at me and phoned one of their previous guests to cast a spell on me.And now, I have a tail. I mean, again, I have another tail. Do you realize how difficult this makes buying shorts? But I digress. Not only were these two smart and fun, they could easily grace the cover of a magazine. (I didn't mention that I was jealous of their good looks, because they st...
On a comic couch? "Dannylize This", with Daniel "Papi" Gonzalez!
May 25, 2022 10:00 - 43 minutes - 40.6 MB(WARNING: A little bit of profanity in this episode...) You know, sometimes it seems like it's open season on comics after "that slapping incident" we've all seen. Which incidentally, will be the LAST time I attempt to help a 95 year-old at Walmart. ( I honestly thought she wanted to test out that skateboard, what can I say?) But Daniel soldiers on, nonetheless, with a catcher's mask if necessary. He shares with us the struggles of being a comic, from his early beginnings, to praise from Jer...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Travis Dunn!
May 18, 2022 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MBLately, I've been stumbling across guests who found a new course a bit later in life. (Well, I'd be stumbling anyway.) Travis fits that bill, being dared to attend an acting class, and subsequently getting bitten by the acting bug while in his 30s. All while being a race car driver, too! I think it's safe to say not much scares him. Unlike me, with broccoli casserole. I loved the fact that he's worked with previous guests Patrick Lescarbeau and Bill Foster (AKA the coolest man in the univers...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Allison Church!
May 11, 2022 10:00 - 36 minutes - 83.1 MBAllison was lots of fun to spend time with. I think she's the first transgender guest I've had on the show. She was telling me before our interview that electrolysis is NOT fun. If I needed to do that, they'd have to break out the electric chair in the back room of The Sherpa Chalet for a halfway decent job. You can tell that she's a huge fan of horror and suspense, and it's interesting how she incorporates her journey into her stories. She's also a fan of the TV show"Star Trek", but unfortu...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet John Moyer!
May 04, 2022 10:00 - 46 minutes - 106 MBYou Rebels know how much I love it when I get to learn new things. And, such was the case with interviewing John. Personally, I've never been hypnotized. But if it was, would I be persuaded to sound talented and professional? I'm guessing probably not. Sorry. John's journey has been interesting, from New Jersey to Utah, to all around the world, to a YouTube channel (see link below) where he helps you to relax. He actually has 8-hour relaxation videos! I wish I could relax for 15 minutes with...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Keith Ross Nelson!
April 27, 2022 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBToday, we get a peek into the life of a traveling comic, who's been doing it for years. We also discuss kung fu, and what happens when you've got too many cats in your house. What does this have to do with comedy, you might ask? Um, I'm not exactly sure, but I hope Keith can explain. And if not, well, draw your own conclusions. But just not with that many cats in the house. Anyway, thanks for coming on the show, Keith! You can hear this podcast on the Helium Radio Network Fridays at 8:30 AM...
We're shooting the (Esther's) "Breeze" with Esther Brzezinski!
April 20, 2022 10:00 - 43 minutes - 98.9 MBEsther may be in her 60's, but she doesn't look it at all. Unlike me, who is 145. But she doesn't think like someone in her 60's. A situation during the pandemic presented itself, and poof! This Canadian entrepreneur was off to the races, um, the podcast. To be honest, I actually had a bad experience with an influencer, which really left a bad taste in my mouth about putting them on this show. But if they're like Esther, come on down to The Sherpa Chalet! Maybe next time she's on, we'll get ...
Faster Than a Speeding...Podcaster! It's Paul Maglietta of "The Misfit Faction"!
April 13, 2022 10:00 - 48 minutes - 111 MBPrior to Paul and I having this interview, he asked if I wanted to come on his show. But I'm not a good fit. I thought he meant his show about superheroes. Actually, the only superhero comics I remember watching on TV were "The Mighty Heroes" (Look that one up, ya animation nerds. Diaper Man rules!) But what a fun guest he was. And we share a love of the tv show "Heroes" ( no Diaper Man there, sorry) It's interesting how he turns a fun visit with his friends into a labor of love. Unfortunate...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet CJ and Lorrisa Julianus!
April 06, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 87.9 MBIt's always fun when I have two guests on at once. It's also unique for me when I get to tell said guests, "Hey, I saw your movie!" And the police don't get involved! Such was the case this time around for your Sherpa. Before the interview, we had a lively discussion about New York pizza, versus Chicago pizza . Unfortunately, I couldn't find either one on a map. Curse you, lack of Social Studies skills! But as you will plainly hear, "The Adventures of Mistress Maneater" is clearly not your ...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Frank Ferrante! (A Sherpa Select Encore Broadcast)
March 31, 2022 10:00 - 47 minutes - 44.2 MBIf you'd like to find the air times on your local PBS network for Frank's special, check here. (For reference, I'm in Season 8 now, but it doesn't hurt to go back and check out my older shows!) And, while watching his special, if you say the secret word, a duck will come down and give you 50 dollars! (Below are the original show notes. The referenced episodes already aired, but you can still hear them ,if you like, on your podcast app or sherpalution.com) __________________________________...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Neil Getzlow!
March 30, 2022 10:00 - 52 minutes - 48.8 MB(Warning: Mature Subject Matter) This season, I've gotten to meet some people who have undergone really powerful transformations in their lives. But change, as they say, is good (If you don't count New Coke or Vegemite). Neil is a person who has battled demons he's lived with for most of his life. Not only has he emerged from this battle with a new outlook on life, he has strengthened and rebuilt his marriage, thanks to the love and faith of his wife Amy. I've noticed that with these interv...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Michael Baker!
March 23, 2022 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MBSo, would you buy a used car from this man? Of course, he's been on my podcast! There was probably so much more interesting stuff that I could have found out about Michael Baker, in addition to what he already covers. Regardless of what he's done, or is doing, you'll notice the constant urge to create. And create, he does! If you head on over to his website. www.dialitdownfilms.com , you can get a glimpse of some of his creations, and you'll see why they're a hit at film festivals. But, I'm ...
A true survivor, we're meeting David Keck, of the "Surviving Abuse" podcast!
March 16, 2022 10:00 - 33 minutes - 76.8 MB(Warning: Content Alert) David told me before our interview that he doesn't like to end his episodes in a downbeat manner, and I wondered how he does that. And oddly enough, our conversation, after the interview, ended with a conversation with The Sherpa Bride about soap operas. Well played, sir, well played. This is truly a guy with a powerful will to live, Rebels. The horrific story of his ordeal may be tough to listen to, but, it certainly does not define him. It only enhances his amazing...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Joel Carroll!
March 09, 2022 11:00 - 44 minutes - 101 MB(Content warning for this episode.) Perspective. That's the word that kept creeping up in my head for this interview. And for 2 reasons. Reason 1 was me. See, I'm normally a stickler for being on time for interviews. And what happened? The night of our interview, guess who forgot to show up? ME!! Fortunately, Joel was fine with us starting a little late (like 40 minutes!). And he was kind enough to show concern that I was okay, when I wasn't there on time. Reason 2 is more apparent. A guy li...
Cue the Spooky Music! It's Gabe Cymbalista of "Cymbalistic Cynicism"!
March 02, 2022 11:00 - 51 minutes - 118 MBAlthough you (obviously) couldn't see it, Gabe also has an incredible collection of movie memorabilia, in addition to his love for movies. I had a fun time getting to know him. He's definitely a kind-hearted person, even amid all the gore and spookiness on display. As he stated in the interview, his parents raised him to love classic horror and classical music-two things that play a big part in his life. I'm sure as his podcast grows, it too, will be something that he'll be known for. Thanks...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Christen Stovall!
February 23, 2022 11:00 - 32 minutes - 73.9 MBI've heard it said that everyone has a book in them. And I'd have to agree with that. With a little steak sauce, "Where's Waldo?" can taste just like "Gone With The Wind." (Not what that means? Um, never mind.) But what kind of writing talent does it take to turn a personal tragedy into not one, but a series of fantasy novels? We get to find that out today, when Christen Stovall joins us. She's able to use her literary inspirations to take her readers into a different world, filled with knig...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Lisa Czarina Michaud!
February 16, 2022 11:00 - 49 minutes - 113 MBSo, do I now owe a "je suis désolé" to the Nation of France, after my awful Jerry Lewis impression? Maybe I can get a descendant of Dean Martin to cover for me. Getting to do this interview with Lisa was a fun experience. It isn't every day that a listener contacts me for an interview. It isn't every day I realize someone has been listening, either. I strongly recommend checking out "Slanted and Disenchanted", for a great story, and a ton of references, too. I remember when I wanted to start...
Kim Hawkinson gets The Sherpa on a leash! (It's dog training time...)
February 09, 2022 11:00 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MBSo, this one's for all you "dog people" out there. I never got to see Kim's dog through the whole interview, but I'm sure she was aware we were recording a podcast. Or maybe I'm just not as interesting as a box of Snausages. But then again, who is? Kim's approach to dog training is certainly unique, but as long as it gets results, that's all that matters. Now, if I can only get my dog to stay off the bed. How DO you get a stuffed animal to behave, anyway? Just kidding, not a stuffed animal. ...
A Not-So Random chat with Kristian Madsden of "The Random Kristian Show"!
February 02, 2022 11:00 - 45 minutes - 105 MBIf there's anything to be learned after almost 200 episodes it's this: Do a good Homer Simpson impression, welcome to the show! This was another off-the-wall interview. Kristian has led quite the interesting life, and he brings it all to "The Random Kristian Show", where you never quite know what to expect (Random, get it?). Given his time as a radio DJ and comic, Kristian is perfectly comfortable behind a microphone. Unlike me, who is constantly asking, "Is this thing working yet?" But have...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Michael Lloyd!
January 26, 2022 11:00 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBIt's the first "Sherpa Screening Room" of the new season. And I got to have an interesting chat with former soldier-turned-actor Michael Lloyd. All that talk about New Orleans cuisine definitely worked up an appetite! Michael had such an interesting insight on his career as an actor, and I'm sure it will blossom to the point he wants it to in a matter of time. Keep an eye on this one, Rebels.

Ben Shrewsbury of "Two Marks and a Spark" Kicks Season 8 into the ring!
January 19, 2022 11:00 - 34 minutes - 78.4 MBDon't worry if you've missed the first 7 seasons. No unanswered questions here, Rebels! (Besides, all episodes are currently available on any podcast app or sherpalution.com.) On to our guest. Ben was a lot of fun to talk to. I think he really captures the other-worldly feeling he talks about the when he's realizing what he's created. And that's not the cold weather talking, either! As you can tell, he's a HUGE wrestling fan, and that passion comes through in his podcast. So kick back, and h...
It's the "Too Many Podcasts!" Season 7 After-Hours Nightcap !
January 12, 2022 11:00 - 19 minutes - 44 MBYou didn't think I'd forget, did you? It's been a while, but it's necessary to take a minute or 19 to say thanks to everyone who gave of their time to be on the show. (This is The Sherpa, saying "Thanks".)

I don't think I could ever be inducted, because it would be followed with a few asterisks and a disclaimer of, "After a few beers, it seemed like a good idea." But Dave Jackson is truly a guy who gets this medium, and has guided so many folks on their way to podcasting success. If you're a regular listener, or a new one, and you're wondering what it takes to do this ( and trust me, it's not easy or instantly ...
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Adeena Mignona!
December 29, 2021 11:00 - 38 minutes - 88.9 MBSix Degrees of Separation time, Rebels! Adeena grew up in the same town as previous guest Richard Wilmore's idol, Rosie O'Donnell! ( I don't think she can get her on his show, either.) And furthermore, I've never been a guest on Rosie's show! (Actually, I don't know what that has to do with anything, but I never said I was good at this "Six Degrees" thing.)If you check out Adeena's book, as well as her blogs on her website, you'll get a feel for what a talented writer she is. By the way, the...
