The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Don Smith!
As you can tell, with a guest like Don, interviews are super easy, as he's always got a great story to tell, about a wide array of topics, too! Unfortunately, I couldn't get to the link in which i appeared on his show, "The …

You'll be a "Fanacek" of his podcast! Meet....Fanacek!
I guess that I can relate to Fanacek's tale of being babysat by the TV. I'm sure most of you can relate to sharing a crib with a 24" RCA, right? (Just me? Ummm... never mind.) But TV plays an important part of most people's …

Old Friends and Big Dogs Only! It's Scott from the "No New Friends" Podcast!
Rebels, at a certain age, I guess it's tricky to make new friends. (I still don't understand why I get so much flak for handing out applications. My rejection letters are highly regarded, you know...) It was interesting gett…

Get that "MoJOE", with Joe McCarthy, of "MoJOE studio" !!
Rebels, this took a few tries, but ultimately, was well worth it. If you hear my Wisdom chats (see info below), you'll notice Joe is a pretty regular visitor, and we always get into some interesting chats. Which is really wh…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Chip White!
The thing you'll probably notice the most about Chip in this interview is how humble he is. Even when we were setting up the interview, he told me, " I'm just a producer. You sure you want me on your podcast?" (Spoiler alert…

"Too Many Podcasts!" Meets YouTube! (And other important sounding news!)
If you want full disclosure, I've had a YouTube channel for quite some time, and I kind of forgot about it for a while. But I found that as I got better with my audio (I did...didn't I?) , I was actually having fun with crea…

Dreaming Rhinos and Podcasts! Meet Aaron Peve of "The B&W Show"!
To be honest, Rebels, I'm not sure if I'd want to be in the same pen as a rhinoceros. With my luck, it would probably look upon me as, um, an appetizer. But at least it provided Aaron with enough inspiration for a book. (Muc…

It's the Ladies from "Allegedly Credible" (talking to an allegedly talented podcast sherpa?)!!
Rebels, it was such a treat to get to know these two ladies. It's amazing that 2 people with such different outlooks on life can combine their collective skills to make such an interesting podcast. (If I were to meet my pola…

It's Adam from the "Podcasting Business School"!! (and the sound of this podcast growing!)
It's always a treat to meet a fellow podcast fan (and also, a fellow "Fandy") who also happens to be on my regular podcast playlist,as well. When listening to Adam's show, I can assure you, no "hoop jumping" is required. It'…

It's The Mini Episode (Contest Announcement included)!!
Have you got 18 minutes? Then, listen up! Today, I'm inviting you to follow me on my newsletter, "What's Shakin at The Sherpa Chalet?" , talking about 10 podcasts that are under 10 minutes long in "Sherpa Samples", AND annou…

The Wisdom Files, Volume 2: It's Ladies' Night!
(Content warning: a little strong language in the last interview.)As promised, Rebels, I definitely had to feature some of the amazing women speakers on the Wisdom app. And they certainly do deliver the inspiration in this e…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Larry Hankin Returns! (Pt 2- Warning: a few Expletives in this one...)
Okay, so not only do you get the conclusion to the interview with Larry Hankin, you also get to hear the voice of the lovely Sherpa Bride! (And you said she didn't exist, you with the hat. Well,in hindsight,I shouldn't have …

The Sherpa Screening Room: Larry Hankin Returns! (Pt 1)
I think it was inevitable, Rebels. Larry Hankin, a guy with almost 200 movie and tv roles (and Oscar nominee) and just as many stories behind those roles throughout a 6-decade career (and then some!) is capturing those momen…
Feb. 15, 2023
The Sherpa Screening Room:Meet Barry Kesten!
For someone that you might recognize specifically as a celebrity, Barry has certainly had his share of unplanned celebrity encounters. I don't get to have many in-person encounters. For some odd reason, they always seem to h…

The Wisdom Files, Volume 1 !!
One of my long-planned tasks finally realized! I've been chatting on the Wisdom app for quite some time now, and have met some incredible people along the way. Now, I finally get to share some of my conversations with them, …

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Bill Willard!
To be honest, I never really knew too much about the Titanic in great detail. I tried to re-enact it at a nearby pier, but as you know, my Leo DiCaprio impression sounds more like Spongebob Squarepants, which does make it ki…

We're hopping in the "Movie Theatre Time Machine" and Nick Taber's driving (Thankfully)!
Welcome to another episode of "The Laryngitis Sessions"! A very special thanks to Lord Mr. Bruce for handling the intro/outro duties this time! Unfortunately, Nick's wife Caz couldn't join us (she was also part of the aband…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Dave Shecter!
Rebels, I really did have laryngitis at the time this episode was assembled! (Ok, you can stop cheering, you with the hat.) A special thanks to Super Fan Mike for his guest intro and outro (Even though it was kind of recorde…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Jason Varso!
In the acting world, I certainly wouldn't refer to Jason as "new to the scene", but he was new to podcast interviews at the time of this recording. So, I made sure to save the interrogation questions for another interview. (…

We're making a "B-Line (Web Show)" into Season 10 with Brian B!
As Brian would say," People! People! Here we are in Season 10!" But trust me, he'd say it a lot cooler than I typed it. It's always fun to kick off a season with someone who's got Brian's kind of enthusiasm. It reminds me of…

Season 9 Is History! (The Recap...)
Well, Rebels, it's that time of the season. No, not THAT season, the end of my podcast season! Of course, we're going to be acknowledging lots of special people and podcasts, and let you know what's new with the Sherpalution…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Sherry Nelson! (Season 9 Finale)
She's got almost 30,000 followers on Instagram, and is one of the most down-to-earth, and gracious people that you'll ever meet. I'm lucky if I get one person following me who's not yelling, "Stop! Police!" (But that's a sto…

The Shera Screening Room: Meet Steven Adam Renkovish!
Sometimes, dear Rebels, it pays to go straight to the source. Which is exactly why I was fortunate to speak to Steven. "The Awakening of Lilith" is a dark film, visually and emotionally, and I (and you) got to hear his expla…
Dec. 7, 2022
Steven Jay Rubin Returns! And he's bringing his podcast with him this time!
Always a pleasure to speak with Steve Rubin, now doing his own movie podcast, which just so happens to be produced by previous guest, Ben Shrewsbury! The guy may have written 2 encyclopedias,but that's exactly the best descr…
