    Interview with Ray Fromme

    One of the reasons I love doing these interviews is getting a chance to talk to someone in depth about something they’re passionate about. They tend to light up and get super enthusiastic, showing their true self. I got to see just that this week when I had the chance to interview Artist Ray Fromme (pronounced Frummy) . Ray is an artist who takes his Godzilla themed art across the country on the convention circuit. Ray loves monster movies new and old and this love for the material shows in his work. During our conversation we discuss Godzilla throughout the ages, being your authentic self, and not compromising with your vision.

    Interview with Danie Lydia

    My guest today is Danie Lydia, prominent up and coming comedian and host of “That queer comedy open mic” at Shameless Grounds. Danie has been doing comedy just over a year now and is already making waves in the St. Louis scene and so I’m very thankful to have the chance to have her on this week. During our interview we discuss starting out in comedy, gender identity, which Disney villains would make the best lovers, etc. Honestly if you haven’t had the chance to see Danie perform stand up in person do yourself a favor and give this episode a listen. She’s a quick witted, fast paced comedian that’s bound to have you laughing.

    Interview with Josh Sullivan

    So up to this point I’ve mainly focused on interviewing local comedians from the St. Louis. That’s all well and good but we aren’t the only people affected by this pandemic and not the only performers with stories to tell. For this reason I interviewed my first musical guest tonight on the podcast, Josh Sullivan! Josh (aka Loko) and I go decently far back to my earlier gaming days and he’s evolved into a very professional EDM/ Trap music artist. We talk music, influences, whether Carole Baskin actually killed her husband, etc. It was a great time and I look forward to having Josh and other musicians on in the future. While this podcast is mainly comedian focused I’m always happy to spotlight artists from other professions.

    Interview with Tiel Pearce

    Tonight I had the chance to interview Tiel Pearce and honestly it was a blast. Tiel is a non-stop barrage of puns and one liners, all while being a super pleasant guy. Tiel is a human venn diagram of innocence, wit, vaudeville style, and "Did he just say that?" We discussed the crowds in different cities, what makes a joke funny, and where to draw the line between edgy/ slitting a throat for laughs. I can't wait to have Tiel on again in the near future, possibly as part of the duo of Wise and Crack with Pat Ryan?

    Interview with Pat Ryan

    My third guest for this little show was none other than Pat Ryan, host of the weekly improve show at Apotheosis Comics. During our conversation this week we talk about the current state of comedy, his connections in the scene/ side projects, and what we deem as “Off limits” jokes. Seriously though Pat was a blast to have on and I really hope to get a chance to do so again.

    Interview with Anthony Phillips

    Anthony and I go way back to the days where we reviewed bad movies on At Least You Tried. However lately we've both been trying our chops at stand up comedy. He has had a bit of a different experience with it and than I have and that is the main topic for our conversation today. We also discuss the writing process, his love of short stories, and different ideas for what the future may hold for us. Anthony is a funny guy but also very insightful. Do yourself a favor and give this one a listen. Another side note: This episodes audio is again done over Skype so while it's passable it isn't what I want it to be as the standard. When the situation changes we'll go back to interviewing in person.

    Interview with Lisa Andris

    For our first episode I'm interviewing the comedy mom herself Lisa Andris! Lisa helped me get into comedy in the first place and is a big name in the St. Louis comedy scene. We talk what comedy means to us, her roots in comedy, and life in quarantine. It was a great conversation and hope to have her on again sometime.   (Note: Please forgive the less than ideal audio, due to Covid 19 we have to record temporarily over Skype)
