Kim Hawkinson gets The Sherpa on a leash! (It's dog training time...)
Feb. 9, 2022

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

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 ge…

Amazing Women, Incredible Stories (Day 5): Meet Stacey Toy!
Oct. 16, 2020
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 …
The Sherpa Screening Room: Two Phone Calls! Opera! Farming! This Number is NOT in Service!
Sept. 23, 2020
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 an…

There will be CHOCOLATE! A fun chat with John Kapos (aka Chocolate Johnny) about social media!
July 24, 2019
I'm having such incredible luck speaking with Australians, and John Kapos was no exception. We must have spoken 20 minutes both before and after I recorded our interview. He's one of those people you have an feeling of insta…
