-
- Film Interviews
On this episode of Better Call Daddy, we dive into the evolution of entertainment and media. From comic books to streaming platforms, we explore how market forces have shaped the way we consume content. With the rise of video on demand and audio on demand, viewers now have unlimited options for watching shows or reading comic books at their convenience.
This abundance of content has led to a saturation of offerings, with independent creators forming their own brands. We discuss the challenges of keeping up with the ever-expanding world of characters and iterations, such as Spiderman.
Our guest emphasizes the importance of passion in podcasting and other forms of media, highlighting the rarity of podcasts with over 100 episodes. As the podcasting industry becomes more niche, we uncover the secrets to success, including telling a compelling story and having dedicated listeners. Influencers and the desire for attention in media are also explored, along with a heartwarming anecdote about a passionate fan's encounter with a member of the Wu-Tang Clan.
Additionally, we emphasize the importance of community involvement and staying connected with current events. Our guest shares personal experiences, including their son's upcoming senior year and the expectations of finding a job and being responsible. A trip down memory lane transports us to a childhood moment involving a treasured China Hutch, unexpected guests, and a frightful encounter with Margaret Hamilton, the famous actress known for playing the Wicked Witch of the West.
We also delve into the complexities of fatherhood, as our guest shares their unique relationship with their son and the unconditional love they strive to provide. The influence of grandparents, small-town traditions, and the power of mentorship are acknowledged, highlighting the importance of individuality and effort in achieving success.
We discuss the role of luck, the value of preserving memories, and the joy of cherishing loved ones, particularly in light of the pandemic. The speaker's personal journey takes us through experiences of loss, resilience, and community engagement, culminating in a powerful radiothon that raised millions of dollars for a local children's hospital. We learn about the speaker's sister's battle with Burkitt's Lymphoma and the lasting impact it had on their life's purpose.
The podcast concludes with an inspiring message about karma and the power of putting good into the world. This episode of Better Call Daddy is filled with heartfelt moments, profound reflections, and thought-provoking insights that will leave you inspired and eager to make a difference in your own community.
Sean Dillon loves to hear the word yes. Who doesn't? His grandparents were special people, who lived through the great depression and had amazing stories from their time in the Army Air Corps and as a Speech & Hearing Pathologist. Their stories are lost to time because they were never recorded or saved.
That’s on him. Beyond the Mic Podcast was created because our world is a rich tapestry and everyone has a story.
His boss once had someone pushing an interview with an American Idol contestant. He didn’t want to do the interview. He poked his head in his office and said, “I got it.” That star told him the four to five minutes of boilerplate interview stuff, but in the last 3 questions, the guest opened up in a new way.
From one conversation five years ago now over 400 where there is always one piece of gold left in the pan at the end of their time together. Sean wants to help people record their favorite stories so they are saved forever.
Before he begins he asks you to keep in your head one question. “Will you share with us your story?”
While still playing on the air he had great interview opportunities that never made it to air. Some were due to length, others were because of the topic. It was time to flip the table on the rules. Any topic/guest is welcome, but you must tell a story &
