The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Shannan Wilson! (featuring a bonus music track)
Jan. 20, 2021

Cody Langley of "POPular Opinion" POPS in!
Jan. 15, 2021

Jan. 13, 2021
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 Gho…

The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Steven Jay Rubin!

Buckle Up! It's time to visit William Walley in the "World of Walley"!
Dec. 16, 2020
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…
Tuning In (and Geeking out) to "Earth Station One", with Mike Faber!!
Dec. 11, 2020
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 s…

Dec. 2, 2020
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 ave…
It's the guys from " Canned Air"! (Which is NOTHING like "Podcast In A Mason Jar")

Yo, DJ, play that Podcast! Darran Bruce of "The DJ Sessions" is in the Mix!
Nov. 20, 2020
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,becaus…
