It's Brandon from "10ish"! And a Major-ish Surprise-ish Announcement-ish!
November 27, 2019 11:00 - 33 minutes - 31 MBSo nice of Brandon to hop on down to the Chalet for an interview. This is the time of year that the media floods us with Year-End Top 10 lists...but they're not like the lists you hear on "10ish" with Brandon and his co-host/buddy Nick. Although I'll never quite figure out why Brandon calls "Bones" the worst tv show ever, I guess we can let it slide. After all, both he and Nick are "Georges", right? So check out "10ish"...play along, too, and see how your guesses work out!! Also, listen f...
Come On, Get Happy! Dr. Lindsay Weisner of "Neurotic Nourishment" talks Happiness (WITHOUT swearing!)!
November 20, 2019 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBI'll bet some of my previous podcast guests know a thing or two about past life experiences, but something tells me Dr. Lindsay Weisner was a standup comic in a previous life...or maybe will be in a future one? She had me laughing so much during our interview with her quick wit and impeccable comic timing. You get the full effect when you listen to her and her buddy Sharone in their podcast, "Neurotic Nourishment." (This was her dialing it down on my show!) But, swearing or not, she's got a ...
When the chips are down, let's get them out of the bag, and talk to JP, host of "Junk Foodies"!!
November 13, 2019 11:00 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBQuick survey...how many of you were snacking when you played this podcast? (Not you, Jeffrey Dahmer...) Junk food-we either love it, or we try our best to stay away from it. Whatever side of the fence you are on, JP's podcast is worth a listen. Granted, he might be one of the newer junk food podcasts, but my hunting has shown that there aren't too many current junk food pods out here in Podcastia. Plus, the guy let me show my hip hop style! (Okay, I confess-just looking to place some blame s...
It's an Interesting Walk (and Talk ) with "Widow Walking Forward"'s Lisa Joy Walters!
November 06, 2019 11:00 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MBA little bit of a change-up this week, but don't worry, my supply of bad jokes for the podcast is untouched. It's okay to discuss grief on a podcast that has a tendency to get silly on occasion, and Lisa Joy was the right person for this discussion. You'd think that a podcast with the word "Widow" in the title wouldn't raise your spirits, but for this show, you'd be wrong. You can tell how her family has pulled together in a time of tragedy, and provides not only support for one another, b...
Hey, Howard Stern, "Howiedoinit"? It'll be great when you meet Howie Kra, this week's guest!!
October 30, 2019 10:32 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MBLL Cool J once rapped,"'Don't call it a comeback..." , but we all have those moments we need to bounce back from. Failures, breakups, scandals, maybe bigger, or smaller. (But enough about my afternoon in the Piggly Wiggly). I can count on my hand the number of podcasters who were run over by a bus, were told they would never walk again, and then ended up running marathons. That count is "one", as in the one and only Howie Kra. If you find nothing inspiring about his story, maybe you need to ...
"What Was That Like"? The Sherpa interviews Scott Johnson for some real unreal stories!
October 23, 2019 10:00 - 32 minutes - 30.4 MBMost of you know your Podcast Sherpa, and you know there's nothing like a unique podcast to catch his ear. And boy, did I find one! Enter Scott Johnson, computer expert, to fry our circuit boards! (Hey, YOU try to come up with a clever computer analogy.) What Was That Like is all at once gritty, funny, twisted, and very real. Kind of like a breakfast at IHOP. Oh wait, I better not discuss meals, given one of the podcast episodes we discuss! Let's just focus on the lady who married a wrong nu...
Personal Finance Help...Stat! Ryan Inman of "Financial Residency" brings the Cure!
October 16, 2019 10:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MBMy first listener-requested show! Always glad to help you out there in the listening world. When I told Ryan how hard it was to find a financial planner with a podcast, his reply was "There are four of us." And what an incredible help he was...I wonder if the other 3 even know about the Sherpa Chalet? It's great to listen to a finance guy who can put things in easy-to-understand terminology, and not get lost in a sea of acronyms (which is worse than being in an ocean of lotion.) Ryan helped ...
Hey, Joe Rogan! Marc "The Shark" Ritorto is back in the Sherpa Chalet!!
October 09, 2019 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MBOkay, Joe Rogan, do I have your attention? This is a guest you need for your show. Father of 4 talented daughters, novelist, martial artist, and host of his own MMA podcast. I'd say he checks all the boxes! Marc's always a lot of fun to talk to, and it was nice of him to make time for an interview even after getting back from a meet the teacher night at his daughters' school. (Hopefully, I'm not failing science...again...) You'll learn about the history of MMA, and some of Marc's most intere...
"The Unusual Buddha", Jim Martin, explains Buddhism and Meditation! And, Exclamation Points return for the Season 2 debut!!
October 02, 2019 10:00 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MBWelcome to another season of the Sherpa Sheet! I'll start by stating that i keep a mental list of some of the topics that I'd like to cover. As long as there are good podcasts about the topics where I can learn, then I'm sold. Take Buddhism, for example. It's always something that I've never really understood. Enter Jim Martin to solve that problem! Obviously, you can't learn every last thing about it in the span of a half hour, but Jim really helped me to understand the important elements o...
The Season 1 Epilogue: Thank yous, A review, and a Preview...of Season 2!
September 25, 2019 10:00 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MBOkay, so I give my guests a rest this week...but I'm naming names, anyway!! Here's what's on the agenda: Thanks to the listeners; Thanks to the guests; Some of the podcasts I enjoy (apart from my guests' shows, aka, my own Sherpa Suggestions); How to listen to the show and follow on social media; What's in store for the future; Season 2! Hope you have enjoyed the debut season. Check out some episodes you might have missed. Share the show with friends, in person and on social media, ...
Korina and Dillon serve up a fresh "Morning Cup of Murder" and Serial (Killers) to go!
September 18, 2019 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MBWho would have thought my Season 1 finale would end up with a true crime podcast? Some say in Podcastia, you could find a true crime podcast just by swinging a dead, uh, body. But Korina and Dillon provide a nice, compact, well-researched, daily dose of evil and mayhem, which makes this podcast a standout. Plus, they were fun to speak with!. So cool to see a married couple that can pool their talents together and make it work in a podcast. Hey, I do my show solo, and I probably argue with my...
Psychic Medium Samantha Jones gives us a "spirited" insight into the psychic world!
September 11, 2019 10:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBTrue story- I had initially contacted another psychic for an interview about the psychic world, but they unfortunately never responded to my request. To that person, I offer a hearty "Thank you", because instead, I got to speak with Samantha Jones of "Spiritual Philos-O-Chatter with the Joneses"!!! So that person's lost opportunity was a victory for me as a podcaster. And how lucky was i? Samantha told me beforehand that she knew that psychic ability could be controversial to talk about, but...
Is There a Midwife in the Chalet? Monica Wallace of "Women's Health Matters" knows what to Doula, and More!
September 04, 2019 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.6 MBI'm not a doctor. I don't even play one on tv (Are you listening, "General Hospital" casting director?). But many of my guests I've had this season have provided a wealth of medical information, and Monica Wallace certainly delivered (See what I did there?). Monica has a treasure trove of knowledge of women's health issues, given her over 20 years of experience as a midwife, doula (2 different things!), and yoga instructor. It was fun speaking with her, even though the subject matter wasn't ...
We ask Jo Wilson, "Is This Love?" (Spoiler alert...It's her podcast...)
August 28, 2019 10:00 - 34 minutes - 32.1 MBWhat a great time i had speaking with Joanne Wilson! Podcaster, neuropsychotherapist, counselor,blogger, radio personality,writer, wife, mom of 3...I think I would get a hernia again holding her business card! She really provided a lot of insight into the workings of the brain and how to keep a marriage strong. But I'm positive that those of you who have read her writings or listened to her radio appearances or podcasts already knew that! (Also, her website is worth checking out, too) You ca...
It's Book Club, with Kristina and Marc "The Shark" Ritorto at the Sherpa Chalet!
August 21, 2019 10:00 - 36 minutes - 34.2 MBBook club, you say? Hey, if Oprah can do it ,so can I. Without the obscenely large paycheck, of course. Marc's incredibly lucky to be so talented and to have a talented family. Throughout the interview, i kept thinking in the back of my head, "If all of his daughters end up authoring their own books, won't he have a publishing cabal? And what an amazing talent in his daughter, Kristina!! At 11, I was purely focused on architecture and construction, myself. You know, building tree forts with ...
Now boarding! The return of Allison Sharpe from "Travel Snacks"!
August 14, 2019 10:00 - 27 minutes - 63.9 MBShe's back! With snacks! And an announcement! I must confess that I wasn't happy with the audio quality of our first interview( as much as I enjoyed the interview), but that's my fault as an inexperienced podcaster. So as far as having Allison back for a "remix"...wish granted! Thank you, Allison! Just as wonderful 19 episodes later!! Take a listen to the show to hear about Allison's next endeavor, Plus! tater tots in the Vortex! Baby news(noooo, not Allison...) ! Can you fly to Kombucha if ...
Robert Bear, creator of "Invention Stories" makes a "patented" appearance at the Sherpa Chalet!
August 07, 2019 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41 MBMy interview this week comes back to the States. My talk with Robert Bear was very interesting and educational. I found it particularly amazing that a self professed failed inventor found his success hosting a top-ranked invention podcast. (Is that what they call reinvention?) He gave a lot of great advice in the interview, but there's more to be found on his podcast. He told me that he's happy to make his show his legacy, so future inventors can be successful. So far, so good, Robert! Plus!...
"Walking the Shadowlands" with Marianne, and talking about...the paranormal (and her podcast)!!
July 31, 2019 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBWho 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 I would hear "GETTTTT OUTTTT!!!" on my Alexa speaker. It was really interesting hearing Marianne's perspectives on the paranormal. While many may have a degree of skepticism on these subjects, Marianne related her stories just like she does with her podcast-straightforward and factual. I also felt that it was also a nice change of pace fo...
Meet Jasmin Shojai: A supersized interview with a super-nice supermodel/actress !!
July 17, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 73 MB(Warning: This Sherpa Sheet makes continuous use of the word "super"...in case that word easily offends you. But listen to the interview with Jasmin, and it makes heaps of sense.) Before we started our recording, Jasmin asked if it was okay if her cockatiels flew around during the interview. Not a problem (Not like it was a pet lion!!).So we had built - in nature sounds for a super-down to earth person! I really admired her candor throughout the interview, whether about modeling, acting, so...
Step 1- Listen to "Greener Thoughts" with Na'ilah. Step 2- Help Save the Earth. Step 3- Repeat often....
July 10, 2019 10:00 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBWelcome to the Sherpa Sheet! It's the "Save the Earth" edition. I wanted to be sure I would pronounce Na'ilah's name correctly for the interview (I know it bugs me when people mispronounce "sherpa"..or "Jim"). She prefers the pronunciation "NY-lah..like the Lion King." And oddly enough, isn't preserving our planet for the next generation part of "The Circle of Life"? (My lawyer,Dirty Louie, says I won't have to pay Elton John and Tim Rice royalties for saying that.) I definitely agree that s...
The Money-Making Episode: Get to know Apple Crider of "Young Smart Money"!
July 03, 2019 10:00 - 46 minutes - 43.3 MBIf I could bottle and sell Apple Crider's energy from our interview alone, I'd already be on track to making money. He's definitely someone who is wise beyond his years in matters of marketing and personal finance. If you looked up "ambition" in the dictionary, you'd probably see his picture. He's no fly-by night-get-rich-quick snake oil salesman. He's clearly a guy who's been out in the trenches, and can walk the walk and talk the talk with his podcast guests. His podcast and website will g...
Zachary Smith is a man on a "Mission 4 Health"....really, he is!
June 26, 2019 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29.5 MBIt was a real pleasure speaking with Zach for this week's episode. Talk about someone with a real passion for life, and a spiritual connection to what he does for others. Super easy to listen to his show, too, since it's in easy 1-minute bites. And he gives you a minute worth thinking about. I think Mary Catherine will certainly grow up in a world where her parents will always let her know how special she is to them. After our conversation, I got him Dan Young's (my previous guest, who host...
Whooooo are this week's guests? Why, Amanda and Dave from "The Owlish Folk", of course!
June 12, 2019 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MBWelcome back to the Sherpa Sheet! A little background on this week's episode. I had initially been scheduled to interview just Dave Roberts for this show, because Amanda Greenwood wasn't sure if she could make it. I had a feeling it would be fun with one or two of them. Luckily, she was able to make it. At first, there was no audio for our interview, but once we got it working, BOOM! Dave and Amanda just got the ball rolling before we even started recording. This was actual conversation: Da...
Stacy the Kid talks about joy and Tsoro in his podcast, "Jaunts and Faults"!
June 05, 2019 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MBI guess we could call this edition of the Sherpa Sheet, "When the Sherpa met the Kid". And I certainly was glad to... Under the charge of overusing the word "interesting", I plead guilty, which I guess is better than pleading insanity. I really enjoyed my conversation with Stacy. He really knows a lot about literature, and you could see how much it plays a part in his life. He doesn't just write, he creates-which is what authors aspire to do. He's played so many roles in his life and it doe...
Michael Wood gives us 366 Reasons to enjoy the "1 Year Audio Bible Experience"
May 29, 2019 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBHmmmm....they say you're not supposed to discuss religion in mixed company. But after interviewing Michael Wood, I would think differently. Here's a talented guy, who wears many hats, who uses his talents to present a DAILY podcast of Bible passages. Regardless of what your religion is, his podcast is a well-produced broadcast that you will enjoy, and get a better understanding of the Bible. In this episode, Michael discusses his background and how religion became an important part of his li...
Dan Young of "Total Wellness Radio" supplements us with useful health information!
May 22, 2019 10:00 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MBAs the old saying goes, "You gotta get up early in the morning ....to get a podcast interview with Dan Young!" Or something like that... Great early morning chat with Dan this week. He tells us what inspired him to get into the healthcare field, and about his work as a clinician. We discuss how pharmaceutical and natural medicine can peacefully coexist. And, if you think that supplements aren't checked by the FDA, you might have to rethink that. He also shares the healthy habits he adheres...
Susannah Lewis of "Thornvale" talks RPG, Monsters, Magic, and Marriage!
May 15, 2019 13:01 - 19 minutes - 18 MBFirst things first. Please don't confuse The Sherpa Sheet with The Mueller Report. We're the one that's not redacted. I have to confess...I really didn't know much about RPG's until I started listening to Thornvale. Granted, I grew up in the era of D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) but I never really followed it. So, thank you, Susannah, for explaining it, and recommending other podcasts in this genre. I think that she will be the type of writer who will gather a large following in a short period...
Deanne Goodman of " In Happier News" is bringing positivity to the Sherpa Chalet!
May 08, 2019 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBIt's a week about positivity! Let's start this week's Sherpa Sheet with a story. When I went to check out Deanne's podcast, and I read about its origin, 2 words came to mind... instant fascination. And after hearing some of her episodes, I said to myself, "This is someone I'm going to enjoy interviewing. ' And my Sherpa instincts were spot on. Here's a person who can juggle so much in her life and and keep up the positivity she shares in her podcasts. They really will put a smile on your fac...
Podcast 101! Jim the Podcast Sherpa Flies Solo, and Manages to Knock Over the Drink Cart....
May 01, 2019 10:00 - 17 minutes - 16.4 MBWelcome to the Sherpa Sheet for Episode 5. I got some new listeners this past week who are new to the world of podcasts. So , we take a sneak peek behind the curtain of Too Many Podcasts!...and realize that this curtain needs to be vacuumed. Ugh. I explain what a podcast is and how to subscribe, and how to unsubscribe , once you realize you've made a grave judgement in error. Also, the origin of Viva La Sherpalution and how to become one of the People of the Pods! Let's not forget the debut ...
On a date? Stop what you're doing and do it better, after you hear Kealy Ryder, host of "Dating Talk With Kealy" !!
April 24, 2019 10:00 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBWe'll start this week's Sherpa Sheet with a behind the scenes story. The interview with Kealy was conducted on a video app. Kealy was concerned about how she'd look on video sans makeup. I just use audio so, no worries. Trust me, she looked better without makeup than I did WITH makeup. And I was in a prom gown, With swim fins . When I was dating, Tinder referred to firewood and not a hookup app (Yet, with either one, I'd worry about who was holding the axe.), so it was interesting to hear h...
Communicating about Communication with David Battaglia, Host of "Perception Is Reality"
April 18, 2019 00:19 - 14 minutes - 13.8 MBWelcome to the Sherpa Sheet! This time around it's a (bit more serious than usual) chat with David Battaglia about his podcast, "Perception Is Reality." David was a pleasure to speak with, and (I'll say it again for Episode 3), a big help. Check his podcast out and notice how tactfully he handles what could be uncomfortable conversations for many of us. We talk about how social media and political beliefs affect conversation in these times, and how to be a better conversationalist with those ...
Now We're Cookin' !!! Kc Gonzalez (of Chef Salty Pork) Has a Seat at the Sherpa's table
April 09, 2019 04:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBWelcome to The Sherpa Sheet! We made it to Episode 2! It was a pleasure speaking with Kc Gonzalez, who was also a big help. In this episode, we talk about food, cooking, the restaurant biz, air frying for beginners, his "mystery restaurant", and cooking boogers. (Just listen, you'll get it) Once again, I learned some stuff. Another step in my evolution as a podcaster! Plus, the debut of Sherpa Suggestions. This week, in keeping with the culinary theme, you get a few more cooking podcast s...
Get your passport ready! It's Travel Snacks time with Allison Sharpe!
April 04, 2019 03:58 - 32 minutes - 30 MBWelcome to my debut, and sorry for the delay! What better way to kick off a podcast than with a travel theme with Travel Snacks host Allison Sharpe? Allison discusses her podcast, how to make travel better, and her famous social media family, among several topics. Trust me, you WILL learn something from her. Plus, Jim the podcast sherpa (That's me, your host!) fills you in on what to expect on the show and mentions a few other travel podcasts to check out, in addition to Travel Snacks. It ...
It's the trailer to Too Many Podcasts!
March 18, 2019 22:58 - 53 seconds - 2.06 MBStraight from the trailer park, here's the trailer to my podcast. Hope to see you soon! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-the-podcast-sherpa/message
