The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Travis Dunn!
May 18, 2022
Lately, 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 acti…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Allison Church!
May 11, 2022
Allison 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 o…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet John Moyer!
May 4, 2022
You 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…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Keith Ross Nelson!
April 27, 2022
Today, 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 …
We're shooting the (Esther's) "Breeze" with Esther Brzezinski!
April 20, 2022
Esther 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…
Faster Than a Speeding...Podcaster! It's Paul Maglietta of "The Misfit Faction"!
April 13, 2022
Prior 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 Sherpa Screening Room: Meet CJ and Lorrisa Julianus!
April 6, 2022
It'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. Befor…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Frank Ferrante! (A Sherpa Select Encore Broadcast)
March 31, 2022
If 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 speci…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Neil Getzlow!
March 30, 2022
(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). Ne…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Michael Baker!
March 23, 2022
So, 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. Regard…
A true survivor, we're meeting David Keck, of the "Surviving Abuse" podcast!
March 16, 2022
(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 …
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Joel Carroll!
March 9, 2022
(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 wha…
Cue the Spooky Music! It's Gabe Cymbalista of "Cymbalistic Cynicism"!
March 2, 2022
Although 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 ami…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Christen Stovall!
Feb. 23, 2022
I'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…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Lisa Czarina Michaud!
Feb. 16, 2022
So, 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…
Kim Hawkinson gets The Sherpa on a leash! (It's dog training time...)
Feb. 9, 2022
So, 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.…
A Not-So Random chat with Kristian Madsden of "The Random Kristian Show"!
Feb. 2, 2022
If 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 bri…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Michael Lloyd!
Jan. 26, 2022
It'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! Michae…
Ben Shrewsbury of "Two Marks and a Spark" Kicks Season 8 into the ring!
Jan. 19, 2022
Don'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 t…
It's the "Too Many Podcasts!" Season 7 After-Hours Nightcap !
Jan. 12, 2022
You 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".) We don't often get…
In the Season 7 finale, Dave Jackson Expels the Sherpa from "The School of Podcasting" ! (Somebody had to...)
Jan. 5, 2022
It was such a pleasure to speak to an actual member of the Podcasting Hall of Fame. 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…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Adeena Mignona!
Dec. 29, 2021
Six 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 gues…
An episode to Invest in! Joe Saul-Sehy of "The Stacking Benjamins Show" visits the Sherpa Chalet!
Dec. 22, 2021
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,…
The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Reece Brown!
Dec. 15, 2021
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 end…
