Julianne Gabert, who I met through the internets without being murdered, talks of life in Los Angeles, acting, and being part of a startup website called Next Level Geek. Also something about a red butthole.
In which I discuss the anxieties of attempting to finance the indie film To Find A Monster with producers Joshua Porter, Matthew Donaldson, and Amelia Belle, and actress Alanna Ubach. We discuss also their reasons behind wanting to create this 80's love letter of a film about two boys wanting to become the youngest horror filmmakers ever.
In which actor Dan Fogler and I discuss his film Don Peyote, the show pilot he's filming, voice acting, and any other random thing that pops up.
I realize my content hasn't had nearly enough depth lately, so in this episode I discuss my thoughts on it and my plan going forward. Perhaps I have been afraid to get into details with guests for certain reasons, and maybe have been avoiding things rather than procrastinating. This is me going on record about working on all of that.
Ashley (@healthyaddict) joins me to discuss how she got into atheism and began producing content of that and the nerdy variety. I learn how growing up in a closed-minded town actually caused her to find her outlet and more of her identity through interactions online, and for the better.
I avoided subjecting a guest to my con-plague (thanks, Vegas!) and recorded this solo ep about New Media Expo, CES, Michael Bay's freezeup, and FOX News not getting the point of a Muse headband's de-stressifying abilities.
In which Wendy, aka @Nerdrage42, discusses with me nerdy things (as the name implies), having anxiety and ADHD, and both the fun and challenges of being mom to both a teenage and almost-teenage boy, one being autistic. I met this lady when she worked at Archie McPhee, so you KNOW she's entertaining.
Yet another solo episode, this time in which I discuss car theft, plans to attend New Media Expo, getting media cred for a Comic Con, the drama of my almost-job, and the idea of building up and moving on.

Clarke is a horror geek who has done a pile o' hosting gigs, including cohosting the Bloodcast. Here we discuss that and how to NOT be a pretentious poohead in the industry.
In which I have a fantastic chat with the creator of The Toxic Avenger and head of Troma Entertainment. Yeah. Mind blown. This guy also put out Trey Parker & Matt Stone's first movie, Cannibal! The Musical, and brought Hayao Miyazaki to the States. So there's that.
Dian is best known as Choda Boy in Orgazmo and Squeak in BASEketball, plus several voice acting gigs for South Park. He is also freakin awesome overall and stars in the upcoming "Fhs Murders of Brandywine Theater". Listen to us discuss the things!
Sarah is a stand-up comic who did very well in the Make Danny Laugh competition in Bellevue, WA, so I snagged her to talk about far too many awesome things. Of course.
Things deteriorate post beer run, but we get to the anxiety of flying and Marine's use of hypnotherapy.
In which we say many naughty words, drink many beers, and summarize the evening's comedy club adventures.
In which Darrell, co-host of This Week in Trek, discusses social anxieties, free Starbucks, and kidlet poo.
I ramble on in this ep about my current bout of depression, which was likely brought on by huge life changes. Pure comedy!
Eric Baker, aka Papa Bakes, on his move to Seattle to become a gigantically famous rap-star. Clearly, he's well on his way. (this description was not, in fact, written by Papa Bakes.) #floodgates
In which we discuss Jason's career in front of and behind the camera, often for Nickelodeon and Nerdist, and how he learned beach time does not necessarily equal dying in a gutter.

A solo episode in which I discuss child abuse, creepers, and makeshift weaponry.
GoFundMe donor Charles Muir and I finally found time to discuss unfortunate teenage choices, dysthymia and FCWriters.com
Here I discuss with Erica Rhodes her varied experience from NPR's A Prairie Home Companion to Plague Town to stand-up comedy... and then some, as well as how her recent diagnosis adds extra "fun" to her acting career.
In which David Wall talks about starting a web business, Good Road Network, while working with anxieties and then some.
During the SDCC insanity, Mel Schmitz and I found a moment in a Marriott lobby to chat about NerdHQ, grounded celebs, "standards" of geekiness, and her contributions to Hellogiggles.com ( http://hellogiggles.com/author/melanie-schmitz ). Listen as I work off two $2 margaritas.
In this episode, I snag Brian Ibbott (Twitter: @Coverville) the day after Nerdtacular 2013. It's a brief one; I babble exhaustedly while further destroying his voice. Listen also for a cameo from the band Same Sex Mary!
