An episode to Invest in! Joe Saul-Sehy of "The Stacking Benjamins Show" visits the Sherpa Chalet!

December 22, 2021 11:00 - 48 minutes - 112 MB

Who was it who said," If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life"?. Or something like that. I enjoy doing this podcast, but it's work that i don't get paid for. And then there's car insurance. Oops, sorry, thought I was writing to my lawyer, Dirty Louie. Anyway, just one listen to "The Stacking Benjamins Show", you can tell right off the bat that Joe and his crew truly enjoy what they are doing for their listeners. It was so much fun getting to know Joe. He's one of those ...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Reece Brown!

December 15, 2021 11:00 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MB

I probably say this a million times, but here's an actor to watch. (And of course, I'm right a million times, but that's beside the point...) I really enjoyed talking to Reece. Behind the scenes fact, after the interview ended, we talked for 20 minutes about alien life forms and black holes. I think maybe someone should casthim as a philosopher and let him ad-lib his lines, because what he had to say was so fascinating. Reece told me that between acting gigs, he tends bar. The guy could prob...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Ashlie Lawson!

December 08, 2021 11:00 - 31 minutes - 29.4 MB

Sometimes, I think I can be a bit silly with my guests. But Ashlie didn't seem to mind, and had fun with the silliness She's a very talented actress, with a chameleon's style on playing different types of roles. She's definitely a face to watch for in the near future. (And if she was your English teacher in the past, you probably knew all that stuff anyway, right? You probably wrote it in your yearbook already, you there in the hat. Not the cowboy hat, though. ) Luckily, I didn't ask her to ...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Michael Myers!

December 01, 2021 11:00 - 45 minutes - 105 MB

There are some of you out there too young to remember The Vietnam War. Yet, there are still those who are trapped in the painful memories of it. I was too young to really comprehend what it was all about. I do remember hearing of my second cousin, I guy I met once or twice, and who was a really nice guy, being drafted to fight, and then losing his life over there. I've never served, but the sacrifices that the people in our armed forces  are beyond description. I do remember those who came ho...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Darren Dowler!

November 24, 2021 11:00 - 50 minutes - 46.9 MB

I think that through the course of this entire episode, I kept wondering, "What can't this guy do?"Darren has had the type of career that so many would dream of. A singer, musician, and songwriter. Actor. Author,. Impressionist. Clearly, his talents have no limits And also, a fun guest (we shouldn't forget that, shall wee?) ! Imagine getting the chance to sing as the lead singer for Paul Revere and The Raiders AND with Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers. And beyond that! (Those of you und...

Comic Jason Pollock says, "Hi, I'm Jason", and it gets sillier from there!

November 17, 2021 11:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

This was NOT the typical "Too many Podcasts!" interview, I'll admit. I usually don't end up discussing medical procedures when I'm getting poked and prodded in my, well, you'll hear about it...But Jason was such a fun guest, and very funny, too. Plus, I got to be a guest on his show a while back, too (see below for the link), which was also a lot of fun. But it's not all chat about uncomfortable procedures, I promise. Even though there are actual podcasts about colonoscopies! Do they ask pro...

Dr. Lindsay Weisner ("Neurotic Nourishment" & "Crimes of Long Island Podcast") Returns!

November 10, 2021 11:00 - 44 minutes - 41.3 MB

In the short time I've gotten to know this lady, she has become one of my favorite people. And what, you might ask, does that accomplish? A major discount on restraining orders, of course! Between the fun we had with our first interview, to helping me with a powerful, heart-warming interview with David Ogman a while back, to texting me her bikini model pictures ( She really didn't do that.I'm just wondering who reads my show notes.) She is truly a force to be reckoned with. We probably spoke...

Questions about Emergency Workers? The guys from "The Washdown Podcast" Respond to the call!

November 03, 2021 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

Heroes. Doesn't that word fill your head with images? You might be thinking of a superhero. But who is thinking of our everyday heroes? I could list them all, but undoubtedly would forget to include someone, so let's just say "heroes". You might know who you are, but then again, maybe not.. And there's nothing wrong with that, either.   Enter the guys from "The Washdown Podcast". They know how to respond to emergencies.They're trained firefighters and EMTs. They know about facing danger, alon...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet John Vorhaus!

October 27, 2021 10:00 - 47 minutes - 109 MB

A little bit of trivia: John wrote a season 2 episode of "Married...With Children"which was about Kelly Bundy getting her license, while Al Bundy loses his, just when he wants to go bet on a horse. But I find it interesting that he's got an almost scientific approach to humor. (Apart from the facts that farts are always funny to him.) I'm sure when John takes his standup routine to the masses, it will go over very well. He's already made so many of us laugh with his scripts and books. Hopefu...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Marc Morales!

October 20, 2021 10:00 - 32 minutes - 73.7 MB

Second consecutive "Sherpa Screening Room"! And this time, we get to speak with Marc Morales, the creator of "It's Crazy Out There" ans "521 N. Main Street." We get to learn about Marc's past in theatre, and his foray into writing and directing. Which is scarier- the movies Marc ic creating, or directing them? Listen to find out the answer! Thanks for coming on the show, Marc! Marc's website : www.highfivenantsproductions.com Next week, it's Number 3 (as you would expect), with an intervie...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Joshua Azali!

October 13, 2021 10:00 - 27 minutes - 62.8 MB

I think we can also call this episode, "When Bad Internet Happens To Good People". In my conversation with PT- therapist-turned-model-turned- actor Joshua Azali, my connection woes didn't fare too well at times Some of the wi-fi drowned out a few of Josh 's responses. but I tried to save what I could with the magic of editing. Check out his Instagram profile for a look at that amazing mane Josh has! Also keep an eye out for him in the near future as well. This is one guy with a lt of determi...

Attention, Rebels! Here's the "Sound" of Kennedy Phillips!

October 06, 2021 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MB

I wonder if the guests of my show know how obsessed I am with voices. Once I know they do them, I have to ask them. Maybe because ine are so awful, and I'm compensating? But Kennedy is so talented and so much fun. He provided a really interestinf perspective on the work that he does, which sounds like a lot of fun. No doubt that he's having fun.Please check out his links and help him launch his dream project! Thanks so much for coing on the show, Kennedy! (Again, sorry for the bit of static ...

The Sherpa Screening Room- Meet Einar Haraldsson!

September 29, 2021 10:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MB

Okay, so how many grandfathers do you know that can tell their kids, " I was Sandra Bullock's bodyguard"? Know any that are featured in an upcoming horror movie? How about if they went from Iceland to work with the LAPD? I can't say that I've known anyone who did all of these-until the day I got to meet Einar Haraldsson. And what a fun meeting that was Rebels! As you can tell from the interview, he's got a great sense of humor. For a while I was thinking, hmmmmm....a guy who lives up north, ...

Everything's Coming Up Rosie (O'Donnell?) for "The Richard Wilmore Show"!

September 22, 2021 10:00 - 33 minutes - 31.4 MB

So, who would suspect that a 90's talk show host would have a huge impact on  a guy with his own streaming talk-variety show? As I mentioned, there's more to Richard than just a (not dangerous at all) fan obsession with Rosie O'Donnell. This is a guy who wants to bring new talent to the masses. This is a guy who wants to do wonderful things for the people of this Earth.I also think he may have taken the last Scooter Pie out of the Sherpa Chalet kitchen, but let's not rush to judgement. My vo...

We say, "Hello, Wonderful!" to Sarah K. Ramsey, of the "Toxic Person Proof Podcast"!

September 15, 2021 10:00 - 42 minutes - 39 MB

I do certain shows that I call "Oprah episodes." Stuff that has important messages for the listener. (No one gets a car. Not even me) It can't be all Marshmallow Fluff, right? Can it? (Stop saying it can, you there with the hat.) They're just as informative to me as they are to you, dear Rebels. This may certainly be categorized as an Oprah episode, but Sarah was sooo much fun to interview. You can tell how down-to-earth she is, right from the opening moments of our interview. It may have be...

Actress Jenna Coker-Jones Puts a Fine (Exclamation) Point on Eating Healthy!!

September 08, 2021 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MB

As you will plainly hear, Rebels, this was a fun show. Jenna is every bit the bundle of energy that you see in the promo videos for her website. And what a talented lady, I should add, as well! She's clearly led an interesting life, and is a born entertainer.  I love it when a guest can come on the show and just have fun while getting their story across. (But please keep in mind that if you are considering changing the way you eat, PLEASE consult with a medical professional, as this is not a ...

2 Interviews for the price of 1! (Wait, they're free?)

September 01, 2021 10:00 - 59 minutes - 54.9 MB

Well, Rebels, every once in a while, there comes a time when I will air several interviews in 1 episode. Some of you know the reason why, but I'm still trying to figure it out. First up--If you prefer your podcast language to be uncensored and meandering, then check out The Law Offices of Quibble, Squabble, and Bicker. The language and subject matter has been edited to a kind of PG-13 for this show. The guys ket counting every time an f-bomb went off, and there were quite a few. And that was...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet DC Glenn (aka DC The Brain Supreme of Tag Team)!

August 25, 2021 10:00 - 46 minutes - 43.1 MB

Party Peoplllllllllllleeee!!!! Sorry, I can't do in writing what DC does on a recording. I might sound better with "Viva La Sherpalution!", but I'm one of the few who say it. And it's usually in the bank. Don't ask. Long story. Remember a while back, when I interviewed Australian supermodel Jasmin Shojai? (You don't??! Then head on to my website and listen to it....after you hear this episode.) The whole time, I was so impressed at how driven she was. I got the same feeling speaking with DC....

A chat with author and "Autism Warrior", SJ Childs of "The SJ Childs Show"!

August 18, 2021 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MB

Sarah (SJ) is truly someone who's put her life into her life's work.Being the mom of 3 autistic children, she has channelled her experiences into both her books and her podcast. I don't know much about autism, to be perfectly honest, but I know that she has brought autism awareness to another level.  I got to meet her son before the interview, and she was telling me how he wants to have his own podcast. With a mom like SJ, I'm sure that anything is possible. Thanks so much for coming on the ...

Of Podcasts and Paranormal: It's author Wendy Kok, of "A Juicy Pear"!

August 11, 2021 10:00 - 32 minutes - 30.5 MB

Simple question, Rebels- How can a person NOT be busy with 2 sets of twins? I found it amazing that being a busy working mom, Wendy Kok had the time to write the incredible book, "A Grey Resort.". PLUS co-host a podcast! It must be that Michigan air. (Not making jokes about the water, because, well, you know...) Nonetheless, she was really interesting to interview, and I'm sure you'll be seein or hearing new things from her creative mind in the near future. Thanks for swinging by, Wendy! We...

The Sherpa Screening Room-Meet Shanna Toft!

August 04, 2021 10:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MB

Since this is an audio podcast, I must tell you Rebels that Shanna can easily pass fo someone in their teens or early 20's. I didn't know that the fountain of youth was in Texas! I've been told that I look the same as I did in high school, too. With greying hair, and very tired. Ah, youth! Personally, I don't think that Shanna has time to get older, with all of the projects that she's currently involved in.. That'll keep ya young! Thanks, Shanna ,for coming on the show! Follow the show on T...

Season 7 Kicks off with a Career Transfusion! It's Jolie Downs from "Fresh Blood: Killin it After 40"!

July 28, 2021 10:00 - 36 minutes - 34.2 MB

There's nothing like kicking off a new season with some great advice. And Jolie certainly provided us with valuable information. With all of these changing times, maybe some of us are looking for a change, and possibly a change in our careers. So have a listen to Jolie's podcast, and you just might be on your way to that career change you've always wanted. As i mentioned in the onset, it was fun for me to "interview the interviewer", while also learning about mastering the interview at the s...

It's the "Too Many Podcasts!" Season 6 Cleanup!

July 21, 2021 10:00 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MB

No, i said cleanup, not prenup! I can't do a prenup without Dirty Louie present! So, it's been an interesting season, wouldn't you say? I got to learn new things, expand my musical horizons, and get to spend time with a bunch of great people. Truly the joys of podcasting. (Except when my mic isn't working. Then it becomes a hostage situation.) Don't forget, if you'd like to come on the show for an interview, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. In the future, I'd love to do an epis...

The Sherpa Screening Room- Meet Frank Ferrante! (Season 6 Finale)

July 14, 2021 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MB

What a perfectly timed interview to wind up as my Season 6 finale, Rebels. And what a great guest Frank is,too. He really appreciated coming on this podcast to promote his show, "An Evening with Groucho". If you're not near anywhere that Frank is performing, fear not, The show will air on your local PBS station in the spring of 2022. And don't worry, this episode will be rebroadcast, to remind you. We all need reminders. Like "Don't bet your paycheck on mountain lion races." Especially when ...

Don't "draw" any conclusions (*groan*) about animation-Mark Stancil of Terminus Media is Here!

July 07, 2021 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MB

This episode, I feel, truly represents a labor of love. Oh, not for me, I'm talking about my guest, Mark Stancil, of Terminus Media! My true labor of love is transforming my belly button lint back into the original sweater from whence it came.But, back to Mark. He's a guy who, along with others, created new comics and graphic novels from the things that inspire him.I strongly suggest checking out his website for a gander of the wondrous creations that they are. They always say , if you do wh...

Radio Guy Steven Phillips brings "The Morning Dish" (and The Sherpa forgets the silverware)!

June 30, 2021 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MB

This was a fun one, Rebels. Not to humble-brag (too late!) , but it's such an honor that both radio guys who have been on my show had really nice things to say about this podcast Maybe I'm doing something right, finally? Or Dirty Louie is paying my guests well, out of the Sherpa Slush Fund (Financial disclosure: $14.38). Steven was a great guest and we talked about SO much in such a short time. AND even discussed cooking Spam. I never got to ask him how to fit my email in a frying pan. I'll f...

It's a "star-studded" interview with astrophysicist Dr. Paul Sutter of "Ask A Spaceman!"

June 23, 2021 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MB

Oh, the trials and tribulations of being a podcaster! True Story: I had decided earlier in the season that I wanted to do an episode about the universe. I saw a few astrophysicists listed on podcasting sites. Sent out invitations. No response (Were they lost in space? *rim shot*) I was just about to give up, when I found out about Dr. Sutter's podcast. I contacted him through his website (below) and bang! (Not a Big Bang, of course) Podcaster goal realized. AND I'm a listener of his show, to...

We're at the "Cabaret Cafe", where Mark & The Sherpa exceed the 10-laugh minimum!

June 16, 2021 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38.5 MB

SML ( So much laughing) episode?Okay, let's go to the checklist: Excessive laughing? Check. Slightly loud microphone? Check. A funny guest? Double check! Mark has lots of fun stories to tell in this episode, along with some interesting insights, too. Even though neither of us is really waiting for the Daddy Dewdrop reunion tour. But have a listen, and check out his podcast, too. Thanks for swinging by, Mark! (And apologies to the descendants of Karl Marx for my horrible impression. But...it'...

It's Anthony from "The Independent Mouth" (thank goodness "The Conservative Nostrils" stayed home)!

June 09, 2021 10:00 - 46 minutes - 43.1 MB

You know, I actually SAY, "You sound like you're in a hole!" in this interview.  For this episode Rebels, sadly, I do. But it's not too deep a hole, I promise. But what an interesting guest Anthony was. In a still relatively young life, he's experienced more highs and lows than most people, myself included. AND he still steals his kids' Halloween candy! A man after my own heart. Or my Snickers bar...one or the other. If you'd like, check out my interview on his show. Hopefully he hasn't yet ...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Aubrey Logan!

June 02, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MB

Another episode in my never-ending pursuit to bring all music to the masses! Or something like that. You can just tell how much fun it was to talk to Aubrey. Before our interview, I had commented to her that she sent me down a rabbit hole, because I'd never known of many female jazz trombonists. Well, let me tell you Rebels, there are plenty, and, as Aubrey explained, "And, we all know each other!" You gotta love speaking to anyone who can give you an answer like that. I think she's the firs...

Call It A Comeback! It's Michael Stein of "Long Shot Leaders!"

May 26, 2021 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

I hope that when you, dear listeners, hear interviews, like today's chat with Michael, keep in mind that there is always hope even when things may seem to be at their most dire or bleak.  It's certainly not the easiest thing to focus on in hard times, but trust me, it's there. Just have a listen to Michael's show, and that idea is confirmed.Plus, he brings a level of empathy and relatability, through the events in his own personal life. Maybe shows like this will inspire you. Right now, I'm ...

We get the "Big Skinny" on Kenney Pope of "Casual Conversations"!

May 19, 2021 10:00 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MB

After over 140 episodes, I'm surprised that I haven't spoken to to more podcasters with radio backgrounds, with of course, the exception being the brilliant Mr. Bruce (or Uncle Bruce, if you're listening to our "Too Many 80's Songs" mini-podcast on Spotify....and why aren't you?? Either way, the check is in the mail.) But Big Skinny definitely has that classic country music radio voice. Certainly not one that you'd confuse with the BBC. He's definitely a down-to- earth Texan who just has suc...

A Lesson In Resilience: Meet Former Playboy Playmate, Deborah Driggs!

May 12, 2021 10:00 - 50 minutes - 46.9 MB

In a lot of my episodes up to this point, I've spoken to people who've had their time in the spotlight. ( Not me, Rebels, I sunburn too easily).They've all gone down separate roads since that time. Today, you'll get to hear Deborah's story, which is also a reflection on the highs and lows of her life. Whether she was in or out of the spotlight, you can tell that she put the work in to be successful, from a young girl to today. I found her story to be very interesting. I really respect the dr...

Hold that Falsetto! It's David Fedor of "Bee Gees (and Me)"!

May 05, 2021 10:00 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MB

The Bee Gees, you say? Yep. I think it's pretty cool how David uses his passion as a superfan and reaches out to other superfans with a great podcast. ( Listen on Spotify, and hear their music along with the show.) Some of you might not be aware of their whole catalogue. They're just not the artists who did that "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack (one of the highest selling movie soundtracks ever)? Well then, you've got a lot of catching up to do, Blinky! Mr. Fedor, I do believe we've caught ...

In an Out of Bounds Relationship? Let's call Relationship Coach, Andrew W. Shepherd!

April 28, 2021 10:00 - 43 minutes - 40.4 MB

Now, Rebels, you just KNOW that a guy who went from an engineer in Great Britain to a teacher in Brazil to a relationship coach in Los Angeles has got an interesting tale to tell. And luckily, on today's episode, you get to hear that story. (And if you didn't, talk about a waste of a show notes intro. ) I've gotten to talk to a lot of folks who can help with relationships, and they all come from interesting perspectives. And notice that they never proclaim to have perfect relationships thems...

Carmelle Jean-Francois of cFIT Coaching Makes the Sherpa break a sweat! (And the townspeople complain about the smell....)

April 21, 2021 10:00 - 33 minutes - 31.4 MB

This may come as a bit of a shock to you, Rebels,but Carmelle told me before our interview that she really doesn't do many podcast interviews. Now you're probably thinking, "Whaaaaaaaat??!!" Here's a lady who is an ideal podcast guest. She's got interesting stories about her fitness journey. She's highly knowledgeable in her field. She paints an honest picture for her clients with their expectations, and when talking about the realities of fitness and nutrition. She's a far cry from the Jack...

It's a Royal Flush with Wize of "Stuck In My Mind" (Please insert "Sherpa Bathroom Joke" here...)!!!

April 14, 2021 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MB

What impresses me so much about a guy like Wize (a Wize guy? No...nevermind.)is how driven that he is as a podcaster. He wants his voice to have a place in your audio/visual media. And I can see that happening. Hey, if I'm able to bring my humor to a podcast, anything is possible, right? But anyway, check out "Stuck In My Mind". I'm sure you'll enjoy it And thanks, Wize for coming on the show! Wize's info: Podcast: Stuck in My Mind. Website: www.stuckinmymind2020.com, Instagram, Twitter:Wiz...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Jill Whelan!

April 07, 2021 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MB

What a pleasure this interview was, Rebels! I've been fortunate to interview a few former child stars, but Jill really made it her mission to be involved with entertainment, one way or the other. And as you'll hear in the interview, so much of her life has come full circle. I thought it was so cool that she still referred to Gavin MacLeod as "my tv dad". (Trivia fun fact-Only Jill and Helen Hunt can say that about him.) So, whether she's sailing the high seas or "setting and forgetting it", ...

Giving Competitive Pole Dancing a "twirl"- with Renee!

March 31, 2021 10:00 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MB

This was an episode that came out of the blue. I was contacted through a website by Renee, who said she'd like to come on the show to talk about competitive pole dancing. So, naturally, knowing absolutely nothing about this, I said, "Of course!" (Which is how i got into college. And became a superhero.)To hear Renee explain it, this is more about body positivity than the stigma that is is attached to it. I think your perception will change, once you see Renee's videos on Instagram.Thanks so ...

The Magic is Back! It's Jake Strong of "3 Questions with Jake Strong"!

March 24, 2021 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.8 MB

I'm not sure who's having more fun on the magician episodes; the magician or me? Once again, I was amazed by a great card trick, that you can witness on my social media pages @sherpalution. Jake is a talented young performer who will certainly go far. Maybe one day he and previous guest, magician Anthony Presciutti can do a double magic bill. I can offer to warm up the crowd with my comedy stylings. If I actually had any. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to do some hat shopping. Preferably...

Please share this episode, and help save a young boy's life!!

March 18, 2021 10:00 - 32 minutes - 74.1 MB

I know. This isn't the sort of title you'd normally expect from an episode of Too Many Podcasts! Nor the interview that you will hear in this episode. But, imagine yourself in the place of my guest, David Ogman, for a moment. You have a young son with a rare, fatal genetic disease and you want to do all that you can to raise money for gene therapy and research to battle this disease. All during a horrific pandemic . Not exactly a slice of everyday life for many of us, is it? Honestly, to pre...

We "Talk About Talk" with Communication Coach Dr. Andrea Wojnicki (between the laughing)!

March 17, 2021 10:00 - 35 minutes - 33.3 MB

This episode was just too much fun! I think Dr. Andrea and I were laughing about 15 minutes before we started recording, and 20 minutes after her interview. No small surprise, she's a wonderful conversationalist with a great sense of humor. I told her beforehand to just have fun, and did we ever! It's funny-I tend to shy away from business podcasts, because so many turn into that big ad for "Make A Million Dollars By Selling Old Socks.But "Talk About Talk" is such a FAR cry from that. You'll...

World Traveller Gary Arndt of "Everything Everywhere Daily Podcast" makes it to Mount Podcastia!

March 10, 2021 11:00 - 41 minutes - 38.6 MB

It's fun when I do a little stalking, er, recon, , ummmm....research, on my guests and find out lots of interesting things about them. So, if you're a travel lover, check out Gary's website (listed below) for great pictures, fascinating blogs, and oh yes, a podcast or two! The only way I'll ever get to all 7 continents is by holding a globe in my hands. But Gary is a guy who put his home life behind him, and learned to live out of a suitcase to explore what the world has to offer. My dream d...

When you "app"-solutely need a "Podcast Overhaul", Tiago is your go-to guy!

March 03, 2021 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MB

How many podcasters do you know with their own podcast, and a podcast app to go with it? That many? Wow, I've got to get out more...But I digress. I enjoyed talking with Tiago about this "casting of pods" world. I strongly recommend his app too. Very simple to use.(Plus, this show is on it!) If I was listening to "Podcast Overhaul "before launching my own show, I'm sure my forehead wouldn't have as many dents, from banging it against the keyboard! Live and learn, as they say. (Who is "they" ...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Timothy McLaughlin!

February 24, 2021 11:00 - 41 minutes - 38.3 MB

After our interview, Tim was telling me how he met Tom Hanks,when he was on "From The Earth To The Moon." He said talking to Tom Hanks is like talking with your neighbor. He said he really appreciated how Tom treats people so nice, and he said that he wants to do that with his career, as well. As far as this interview was concerned, all I can say is, "Mission accomplished."  He really wants to make his mark on the screen, playing different characters in diverse roles, and making a few friend...

Casey Bozell shows us how to "Keep Classical Weird"! ( No bathing in the tuba, please...)

February 17, 2021 11:00 - 40 minutes - 37 MB

Yes, Rebels, this episode truly is a Season 6 favorite.  Nothing like learning and laughing at the same time. Casey's podcast is a unique look at the world of classical music. And she's the first to come armed to a Sherpa interview with a violin. (If only my kazoo wasn't at the shop being tuned. Or kicked. Or something like that.) So as you can see, nothing to be intimidated by when it comes to classical music. Except maybe falling into that kettle drum. Or having a music stand hurled at me ...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Wil Wilson!

February 10, 2021 11:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MB

So far this season, I've spoken to 2 guys with beards that could house the Sherpa-Lu Studio players! (Hmmm....that gives me an idea. ) Unfortunately, I didn't get to speak with Wil for very long, because he had other interviews lined up, and his daughter wasn't feeling that great, so he was off to be a good dad. Which is another part he's playing, come to think of it. Maybe we'll catch him in the "Game of Thrones" sequel....you just never know. I can see him playing a god . Or warrior, Or la...

It's John from "From Podcast to Vodcast" (...to Sherpa?)

February 03, 2021 11:00 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MB

I think if you've got a podcast and you want to bring it to a video platform, then John's show is what you need to listen to. And of course, if you're looking for an example of what not to do week, to week, congratulations, Columbus, welcome to the New World! Wait, did I say "Welcome to Season 6"? Apparently not, and fortunately, the voices in my head didn't answer. John was lots of fun to talk to, and his studio literally looked like a fake Zoom background, but you can tell the work that he...

Too Many Podcasts! It's The Season 5 Postseason!

January 27, 2021 11:00 - 18 minutes - 17 MB

Seriously? Five seasons already???And what a ride it's been. I particularly enjoyed this season for getting to talk to folks from so many different walks of life. It's always fun to hear about stuff you've never heard before, and I had lots of that, too. I now know about Funko Pops, thanks to not, one, but TWO guests! And I had such great guests for the Sherpa Screening Room, too! Lots of faces to keep an eye on! A very special thanks to al my wonderful guests for coming on the show and givi...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Billy Van Zandt! (Season 5 Finale)

January 22, 2021 11:00 - 56 minutes - 52.4 MB

It's so cool when I get to interview such creative and multi-talented people for my season finales, don't you think? Billy Van Zandt certainly fits the bill. His publicist Jian, who was also a HUGE help in setting up the interview, sent me a copy of his book, Jane, Get In The Car, which I read off my computer, so I can't call it a page-turner, legally...maybe a slow-computer screen scroll down, so you can enjoy all of the chapters? It's a fun read, regardless. The writing style of the book i...
