The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Shannan Wilson! (featuring a bonus music track)

January 20, 2021 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MB

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 Screening Room. Somebody needs to cast this lady in a comedy, and stat! (She's already got a background in improvisation, anyway.) And when she becomes mega-famous, she'll already have known the ropes of QVC, so she can sell the Shannan Wilson line of clothing, guitars, or IV...

Cody Langley of "POPular Opinion" POPS in!

January 15, 2021 11:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MB

"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 knew about them a few months earlier.  Cody's YouTube channel is very unique. He's a guy who certainly likes to have fun on camera, and with his guests. If I were playing "Wheel of Misfortune", I'd have to be very careful. Truth be told, I had a vowel-buying problem a numb...

We're "Goin' Hollywood" with JD and The Ghost! (and I forgot to pack my bronzer!)

January 13, 2021 11:00 - 41 minutes - 38.3 MB

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 Ghost. It's two guys with a strong love of the cinema and all the joys it brings (or doesn't bring) us.  They were 2 guys that were definitely interesting to speak with. Plus, how often do I get to break out my bad Joe Pesci impression? Or will the Rebels say, "Look what you...

1/3 of the "Three Geeks Podcast" + 1/2 of "Mat Talk"=Jason Taylor!

January 08, 2021 11:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MB

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. Awesome people!) But we got through the interview unscathed, so that's a plus! Jason certainly keeps himself busy with several podcasts. He's a guy who loves to share his passion with his listeners and his (varying amount of) co-hosts. Thanks for coming on the show, Jason...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Steven Jay Rubin!

January 06, 2021 11:00 - 53 minutes - 49.4 MB

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 passion(s) with an audience, whether in writing, or on film. Plus, he was so much fun to talk to, and we both broke out impressions from our respective toolkits. We recorded the episode before the unfortunate passing of Sean Connery (spoiler alert: Steve's favorite Bond)....

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

January 01, 2021 11:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MB

I grew up being really into magic for some time. I love close-up and a good card trick. There used to be "Magic" magazine, where you'd actually get blueprints to build stage illusions Unfortunately, my parents' homeowners' insurance went up when I tried to recreate that "making the Hoover Dam disappear" trick. But Anthony was a fun reminder of why I enjoy it so much. Hopefully, one day he'll et on "America's Got Talent" or another showcase, to give the world a taste of his talent. And honest...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Liz Priestley!

December 30, 2020 11:00 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MB

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 but root for. She brought such a down-to-earth quality to the Screening Room, and she definitely likes to laugh. Nothing wrong with that, Rebels! I just have this sense that you'll be seeing her in even bigger projects further along in her career. Call it a hunch. Or a pi...

Pigeon Hunting (No, not really!) with the Multi-Talented Katherine Brodsky of "Mind The Future"!!

December 25, 2020 11:00 - 45 minutes - 41.8 MB

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've had a guest who's discussed blowing things up, Mel Brooks' chair, making the Dalai Lama laugh,  Jazz hands, and a podcast discussing the future...until now! I'm happy to report that no pigeons were harmed with Katherine's water gun during the recording of this episode....

Why can Sarah Alcorn of "Ivy League Murders" hunt down clues, while the Sherpa lives life without one?

December 23, 2020 11:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MB

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 alot about crime, and about PI work. So be careful out there-she might be working on a case and in disguise! She dishes on the real life of a private investigator, and how it stacks up against what you see on tv and in the movies. It's so cool that she uses her skills to so...

John Orlando's podcast is PVD-lightful! (Seriously,...I couldn't come up with a more clever title???!!)

December 18, 2020 11:00 - 43 minutes - 40.5 MB

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 made walking to the ring quite a challenge. But John, nonetheless, made a career in the wrestling biz, being the voice of various wrestling organizations. Now he's got  not only a podcast about stuff he likes, but he and (spoiler alert:future guest) Jason Taylor host the p...

Buckle Up! It's time to visit William Walley in the "World of Walley"!

December 16, 2020 11:00 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MB

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 a bit reluctant to do a Brooklyn accent. Not even south Brooklyn, William? I appreciate him coming on the show and sharing some of his stories. I liked the one about the guy swimming on the sand! And William, I'd bet Billy Gibbons is listening to your show right now. As ...

Tuning In (and Geeking out) to "Earth Station One", with Mike Faber!!

December 11, 2020 11:00 - 45 minutes - 42.4 MB

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 someone who's gone for a long time.And I learned about Dr. Who! Who? Oh, I'm not starting that again...His collection of Pops was unbelievable too. I'd never heard of them until this interview. I better not start collecting anything else, or the Sherpa bride may want to st...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Richard Burgin!

December 09, 2020 11:00 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MB

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 movie hits the big (or slightly smaller) screen, people will be in for a good fright from this psychological thriller. You know I'm wondering...if I got bit by a rat, would I suddenly become more human? I guess the world will have to wait for now. But anyway, many thanks to...

The Election's Over, but Vote for Middagh Goodwin, Anyway!

December 04, 2020 11:00 - 48 minutes - 45 MB

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 get on the show. I keep getting, "Their schedule is full." While he DOES know this rocker, unfortunately, not well enough to call them and say"Contact the Sherpa."  So, sorry about that, Rebels. But no complaints otherwise on having a fascinating guest on this episode! If h...

Michael Spedden of "Fowl Players Radio" : from Hair-band god to Operatic Viking getting a structured settlement! (Well, kind of...)

December 02, 2020 11:00 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

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 average everyday Viking in a structured settlement commercial, trust me. There's a lot of talent in that bug guy, whether it be acting, rock, or hosting a murder mystery. ( I still want to know what killed my hopes and dreams...) Plus, I got to learn how to die on tv. (And n...

It's the guys from " Canned Air"! (Which is NOTHING like "Podcast In A Mason Jar")

November 27, 2020 11:00 - 44 minutes - 41.5 MB

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 with their listeners, so check out their show for more details. I'd love to see them doing a live Q&A on their show. I doubt you could stump them, provided you stay away from Spider Man questions. (Sorry again, Randy. No control over my typing fingers.) But it's definite...

Gators and Ducks and Gizmos, Oh my! It's Andy Imhof of "Pardon My Fork"!!

November 25, 2020 11:00 - 46 minutes - 43.2 MB

So if it's real time, you're hearing this the day before Thanksgiving in the U.S. So, I'm guessing you're hungry already! I really learned alot from Andy and had fun doing so, talking about cooking, foodsport, and how to raise a non-neurotic duck. He's a super nice guy, whose show is well- beloved by many of the local foodies in Oregon, as well as people around the world ,who like to hear what he has to say about food and drink So give "Pardon My Fork" a listen....and bring your appetite! Th...

Yo, DJ, play that Podcast! Darran Bruce of "The DJ Sessions" is in the Mix!

November 20, 2020 11:00 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MB

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,because so many don't know what the actual rules ae. Any music that I play on here is with consent from the artist. And Major League Baseball. Which I don't really know why, because i don't own a stadium organ. But I do have Mr. Bruce announcing when I'll be singing the nationa...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Scotty Morris of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy!

November 18, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 66.7 MB

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 toaster oven, a nightstand, and half of my VHS collection of "Small Wonder", after I attempted to do so.  We spoke about the band not touring (at that time), and I could tell that he'd be ready to jump on stage at a moment's notice, as the band clearly loves to play, and th...

(Friday the 13th at) The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet C.J. Graham! (Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives)

November 13, 2020 11:00 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MB

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? But I think it would have been really cool if C.J . was my boss, if I worked for a casino. Imagine this conversation: Angry Patron: " Let me speak to your manager!!" Sherpa: " Nooooo problem!"   But , C.J. was a true delight. The character of Jason Voorhees is such an ic...

Class is In Session-with Scott Hopkins!

November 11, 2020 11:00 - 43 minutes - 40.5 MB

True Story: Sherpa Mom worked in my elementary school for 30 years. Do you know what it's like to be 10 and your principal is knocking on your door? (Well, maybe YOU do, Mr- Authority- doesn't- scare- me.) Actually, it makes you realize at an early age that teachers are people, just like everyone else, and they have lives, too. I'm related to (and married to 1) many teachers, and have a great respect for their field. Hey, if you're miserable keeping 1 student home, how rough is 25-30 kids in...

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

November 06, 2020 11:00 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MB

This show was recorded a bit differently. These are 2 interviews recorded on Jb's end( I called into his) combined into 1 and mixed on mine. (Did you really need to know that? Well probably not, but for those of you who were wondering, there ya go!) He's a great guy to talk to and also wayyyy knowledgeable about sports. I try not to discuss issues that might be a hotbed, but I really respected Jb's answers on those pressing sports matters. So, I get the feeling you'll like his podcast, whet...

Hey Michael Jordan! How about Space Jammin' with Brian Snow (today's guest)??

November 05, 2020 11:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MB

This is a guy with dedication-and such a love of sports! Brian had such great stories of his experiences as a sportscaster. And it's WAY more than , " I showed up, I provided commentary," trust me. I liked his stories of how he met his wife, and his encounter with His Airness, Michael Jordan, himself. You might call him the Snowman, but that guy ain't gonna melt when the heat is on! He might giggle a lot (as did in this interview, but you will be entertained. The guy knows his stuff!. Thanks...

It's Season 5-"Sports Week" Tips Off with Coach Scott Fields!

November 04, 2020 11:00 - 49 minutes - 45.4 MB

Welcome to Season 5! So, do you love sports? Well then, my friend, you've come to the right place! Don't love sports? No worries, you'll like the podcasters for these 3 days. I had so much fun with all of them...and I'm not a big "sports guy". My strength is more in, um, napping. I'm STILL waiting for it to become an Olympic event. I'd give new meaning to "The Dream Team"! But I digress. It was a real pleasure to speak with Coach Scott. The man is truly a natural motivator, who definitely fo...

The Sherpa's Scary Supernatural Saturday Special! Part 2: "Walking The Shadowlands" with Marianne (A Sherpa Select)

October 31, 2020 11:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MB

Part 2 of today's Halloween Special! Let's keep it spooky! Thanks Marianne! This is the remixed edited version, less the reference to a contest that you missed, and a podcast app that no longer exists! Here are the original show notes on the Sherpa Sheet: __________________________________________________________________________________ Who else but me gets the bright idea to record a podcast about the paranormal at 11:00 PM on a Saturday night? When Marianne and I were done, I was worried...

The Sherpa's Scary Supernatural Saturday Special! Part 1: The Return of Odd Tonic!

October 31, 2020 10:00 - 59 minutes - 54.9 MB

Asking Maxwell or Jennifer if they have ghost stories to share for Halloween is kind of like asking Kardashians if they have any pictures of themselves. (Of COURSE they do!) I do miss my episodes of Odd Tonic in their absence, so I'm looking forward to hearing their Halloween special as well. If you'd like to get to know the "Paranormal Pair" a little more, check out my earlier interview with them. There are supernatural tales in that one, too! Also check out their Facebook page, which has a...

It's The Season 4 Post-Mortem!

October 28, 2020 10:00 - 14 minutes - 13.3 MB

It's hard to believe that I've done this kind of episode THREE times already! But have a listen, as I acknowledge all of my wonderful guests, give you some Sherpa Suggestions for my Season 4 guests, and let you know what changes are in store for Season 5! (For one thing, I'll now do my interviews in an evening gown. Classy, you know?) Thank you to all of this season's guests, and to all of the Rebels who took the time to listen! And spread the word about listening to this show on Halloween,...

The Sherpa Screening Room; Meet Bruce Villanch! ("What Are You, A Comedian?"Week, Day 3 of 3/Season 4 Finale)

October 21, 2020 10:00 - 55 minutes - 127 MB

What an honor and a treat to spend some time with Bruce Villanch! Bruce had so many great stories to share about his career. The guy has worked  with a "Who's Who" of Hollywood, in one way or another, and a story to go with it. I could have covered more, but I didn't want it to take up the actual 7 hours I told him it would take. He even know of my town where I live! By the way, as an audio note, unfortunately, an echo pops in here and there. throughout the interview Sorry, my brain is liter...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Howie Fox! ("What Are You, A Comedian?" Week, Day 2 of 3)

October 20, 2020 10:00 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MB

A special thanks to Howie Fox, for a fun interview! You can really hear the appreciation he has for classic comedy. It's also nice to know that someone else on this earth is driving their wife crazy when it comes to their music collection. Uh, I mean, it's him and some guy I barely know. The poor guy, Really, the poor guy. Here's the Twitter handle to check out Howie's handiwork:: @howiefoxjokes Have a listen tomorrow to the Season 4 finale. It's an interview with the very funny, Emmy awar...

"What Are You, A Comedian?" Week- Yes, Jeff Dwoskin IS a comedian! (So there!) (Day 1 of 3)

October 19, 2020 10:00 - 43 minutes - 40 MB

Welcome to 3 days of comedy related podcasts! And this was a SML (so much laughing) week for your Sherpa. But once you hear these interviews, I'm guessing you'll cut me a little slack? Anyway, we kick things off with Jeff Dwoskin.  A little background: I asked Jeff if he was from Michigan, without noticing his Detroit Tigers hat and Michigan State tee shirt. To which he replied that "my detective skills were impeccable." I wholeheartedly agree! (That explains the whole "Pride of Michigan" re...

Amazing Women, Incredible Stories (Day 5): Meet Stacey Toy!

October 16, 2020 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MB

Haha! I like how Stacey said that I gave her "the best introduction ever." But she's so worthy of a great intro. She's lead an interesting life with her own collection of lows and highs  in her life. How many people get out of a life of pill addiction to become successful? (Ok, you can't count the guy in the "My Pillow" commercial.) Stacey told me that one of these days, she wants to have lunch with me and "our meeting interrupter" (you'll get it when you listen)  for lunch one of these days...

Amazing Women, Incredible Stories (Day 4): It's a "black and white chat" with Kat (Lively) of "Calling Old Hollywood"

October 16, 2020 03:00 - 32 minutes - 30.3 MB

Ok, Rebels, you heard the story right- Kat jammed with Green Day when she was 11! ELEVEN years old. When I was 11, the only jam I ever got close to, was the stuff that spilled on my lap. So, I guess it's no surprise that she's such a fan of old Hollywood movies. Kat appreciates the past but can look toward the future. Plus, she was such an incredible guest. She's got an interesting perspective on what makes classic Hollywood truly memorable.  Check out her podcast to find out more. Oh, and l...

Amazing Women, Incredible Stories (Day 3): Meet Author Lisa Bagby of "I Am That Girl" (Warning: Adult Themes)

October 14, 2020 12:30 - 58 minutes - 54.1 MB

You know it's serious stuff when there's a warning in the title! Lisa's book hadn't come out as of the writing of this Sherpa Sheet, but keep an eye open for it. I found Lisa's story to be fascinating. Imagine if YOU were in her position. What would you do? Fortunately, Lisa did not face a tragic outcome, although she still deals with some bullying from people who choose to believe what they believe. I personally felt that because she got involved with an individual who was basically living a...

Amazing Women, incredible Stories (Day 2): Brandy Singleton puts the Joy in "A Voice to be Reckoned With"!

October 13, 2020 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

As you will hear, Brandy is a lot of fun to talk to. Plus, I had equally as much fun as a guest on her show, "A Voice to be Reckoned With." I found her to be very straightforward and honest, with a passion for whatever she sets out to do. You might catch her Facebook videos or Tik-Tok, and that's her brain and her heart throwing 100% into her videos. AND, she a way better impressionist than I am. But then again, there are a few rotten pineapples that I can say the same thing about. Do yourse...

Amazing Women, Incredible Stories!(Day 1) It's Allison Sharpe of "Travel Snacks" !! (Sherpa Selects-Season 1 Ep. 1 Remix)

October 12, 2020 10:00 - 33 minutes - 31.5 MB

I couldn't do a week about Amazing Women with Incredible Stories without including my very first episode with the always wonderful Allison Sharpe.! I feel that I've come pretty far in my 100 or so episodes since then, and I owe it all to guests like Allison, and listeners like you, and everyone who's helped and supported me. Yes, you! Well, maybe not that one over there who still dresses like he's in Menudo. You know who you are! Here are the first show notes for an episode that I've written...

Supersize the candy and drink! We're talking with John Maye of "The Binge Watcher's Podcast"!

October 08, 2020 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38.8 MB

Day 3!! Okay, I'll start by answering the burning question. Even though it's an audio-only podcast (for your own good) John did an excellent John Belushi eyebrow-raise-thing. After he said he auditioned for the part, I really could imagine him doing it. So now, I'm mad at that other guy who got it (unless he comes on the show, of course...) I thought he had an interesting perspective on movie-making and how movie trailers can tell you if a movie is worth it or not...sometimes.  I'm sure if y...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Colin Bressler!

October 07, 2020 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MB

Day 2! I've gotta hand it to a guy like Colin Bressler. From a self-described "scaredy cat" to a director of horror movies that will scare the you-know-what out of you, he certainly has come far. I'm sure he also brings his vast knowledge of camera work from reality tv to know how to capture the right shot for his movies. What's the saying? "Truth is stranger than fiction, reality tv is scarier than a colonoscopy. " Or something like that. But check out Amazon Prime for a peek at what's real...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Roy Worley!

October 06, 2020 10:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MB

Three shows this week, Rebels, and here's Number 1!! I've got such a huge backlog of shows to edit. ( I'm almost working on Season 5 as I'm writing this)I didn't realize my interview was back in February, with Roy Worley! Roy is a great talent in the voiceover field ( I wonder how well he can do an Australian accent if Mr. Bruce gets too famous with Carl's Jr. ?)and a really great guy to know. I like how he gave a crystal clear explanation of what aspiring V/O actors need to do to get their ...

Three Short Interviews, 1 Short Sherpa!

September 30, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MB

Sooooo.... sometimes my interviews may run a little short. Sometimes I may run out of questions. Sometimes, it's just time to take "my special medicine". Either way, I've created this episode of some of my shorter interviews with podcasters, and thrown a few together. They're about an average of 20 minutes each, and each one is quite different from the other. So, thank you for this hour of your time, where you'll hear about these three guys' shows, and their recommendations, as well. And tha...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Two Phone Calls! Opera! Farming! This Number is NOT in Service!

September 23, 2020 10:00 - 59 minutes - 55.5 MB

Doing an episode about opera and living off the land is kind of like an episode on Mother Theresa and Carrot Top. Completely different, but, still, so much to learn.  So why not do an interesting mix? Thank you to Rosario and Lionman for your time! By the way, Lionman's father, Neil Perry Gordon was a guest on the show previously to promote his book, "The Bomb Squad". Busy family, huh, Rebels? Rosario's information: https://rosariomonettiopera.com/ You can hear some of his singing here, too...

2 for Too Many Podcasts! (Day 2) We Veg Out with Matt Preston of "The Apathetic Vegan"

September 17, 2020 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MB

Thanks for coming back for Day 2 of 2 for Too Many Podcasts! (What, you waited for me all day to show up?) Today I got to interview Matt Preston, a self-described "non-militant vegetarian" The discussions can get pretty heady-seriously. Listen to what he had to say about the rampant Facebook debate about honey. Yes, honey...the thing that sticks to everything else and never goes bad. But Matt doesn't sweat stuff like that. Check out his podcast and website of the same name. You can really le...

2 For Too Many Podcasts! (Day 1)Jared Easley will "Starve the Doubts" but Feed the Silliness!

September 16, 2020 10:00 - 45 minutes - 41.8 MB

I got to know alot about Jared in our cross-promotion interviews, and had a great time collaborating with him. He's got a lot of both interesting and inspiring stories on "Starve The Doubts". It's certainly worth checking out for a good lift, lesson, and a laugh. I really admire how he can take his topics and use them for inspiration. He likes to see the world succeed. Incidentally, the night we spoke, he was teaching his daughter to ride a bicycle. Today, she's a BMX racer! (Umm, ok, she's ...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Faces To Watch- Joe Finfera! (Day 3 of 3)

September 11, 2020 10:00 - 50 minutes - 46.8 MB

I think if Joe wasn't an actor, I could imagine him as a motivational speaker. You'll hear the positivity just flowing out of his words. This is a guy that you can tell puts 1000% in his life, whether it be fitness, acting, business, or even being a dad. It's funny, I completely forgot that I once had a copy of "The Complete Book of Abs", that Joe modeled for. Your Sherpa once modeled for a calendar. What? You've never seen the "Don't Let This Happen To You and For God's Sake, Put A Shirt On...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Faces To Watch- Patrick Harney! (Day 2 of 3)

September 10, 2020 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

It's funny that Patrick Harney went from a guy who had no interest in being in a school production to a guy involved in promoting a movie he's involved with. He was talking about the importance of being a good person, and I could tell how important that still is to him. His fiance is certainly a lucky lady.

The Sherpa Screening Room -Faces to Watch: Jean-Pierre Giagnoli ! (Day 1 of 3)

September 09, 2020 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MB

Welcome to Faces to Watch Week in the Sherpa Screening Room! I would refer to Jean-Pierre Giagnoli as a triple threat, but that would be selling the guy short. Plus, I'm the short one on this podcast. What can you say about a guy whose talents are so diverse? Actor, comic, rapper, impressionist, dj...and ghostbuster? Well, I know if I want another fun interview, I can answer the musical question. "Who ya gonna call....?" From someone who lived at the hands of abuse as a child, you can only i...

September 02, 2020 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

We get those situations in our lives. The accidental...or intentional, meeting with a celebrity. But what's the celebrity's take on that encounter? Enter Nick and Elizabeth, with the "Fancounters" podcast. They bring to you stories from people from all over the entertainment world. Nick had some really interesting stories. Especially the one about "Peeee-ter" Brady actor, Chris Knight. (It's not what you think. Sort of.) I actually did have an "incident" with singer Samantha Fox, back in the...

Save the Date! Dating Coach Rick Soetebier Shows You How!

August 19, 2020 10:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MB

My bulb might have gone out during my conversation with Rick, but it was an enlightening conversation. (Oh, he did not just write that...) I'm always amazed by the different perspectives presented by my guests on dating and relationships. I guess it's why they say men are from Mars and women are from Venus. And why I'm still not welcome in Space Camp. I think if I had a dating coach when I was single, I would have been released into free agency ver quickly. Check out Rick's website and the f...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Robert Wuhl! (Hollywood Week, Day 4 of 4)

August 14, 2020 10:00 - 42 minutes - 39.7 MB

You know, maybe I could take a cue from Robert and call my show, "$herpa: Too Many Podca$t$!" Or not. That title looks like I fell asleep at my keyboard. Which I have done, so I speak from experience. Robert has had an amazing and impressive career, starting as a standup comic back in the 1980's, through today, with all of his accomplishments so far. And I would look to that list of accomplishments to continue to grow..  You'll hear in the interview how incredibly well-versed the man is in a...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Bill Foster! (Hollywood Week-Day 3 of 4)

August 13, 2020 10:00 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MB

Quick question- How many people do you know who have written children's books, played a "walker" on "Fear the Walking Dead" and own a vineyard...all in one lifetime, that is? Well, look no further, and have a listen to my interview with actor/director/incredibly cool guy Bill Foster. This is truly someone who has walked the walk and talked the talk in many different fields. I'm slightly younger than him, but I already want to be him when I grow up (um, whenever that may be). So, have a liste...
