GO BIRDS. My intro and outro to this episode say it all. FanExpo 2025 was important to me for many reasons. It brought me back to Everything is Awesome, which has been with me through ALL my trauma and what I can only assume is the onset of my fragile mental health. This show makes me happy, and I need to be here more with it. I was also reminded about why we take shots, even if it is improbable to make them. Thanks for the reminder, Devan. On the panel, we talk about the Go Birds mentality: wha...

WARNING: The audio for the panel was recorded differently because the cable I needed changed from years past. That said, I can't believe how well it turned out despite the way we recorded it. There's nothing like a live show, panel, or performance to get your creative juices flowing. And that's what This is Heavy: 40 Years of Back to the Future did for me. While I did panels at last year's FanExpo, I also worked a community table, which was wonderful but took so much energy out of me. During thi...

WE'RE BACK. For real. Fan Expo 2025 has energized me to return to Everything is Awesome and commit to it more than ever. I miss talking to people about their awesome things, and there are so many conversations you haven't heard. I'm playing off the momentum to bring you FAN EXPO week! Today is a conversation I had with Ben Beck LAST YEAR about Fan Expo Philadelphia 2024, but the heart of the conversation is timeless. It's also a great way to kick off Fan Expo week because it gives a peek behind ...

Kev sat down a few weeks ago with the unofficial co-host of Everything is Awesome , Mike DeAngelo, to talk about 2024 and 2025, what they liked, and what they're looking forward to. If you listened to the small episode we dropped last week, you know that Kev has been preoccupied with a death in his family, so the show notes are simple here, as the editing for this episode was started BEFORE things got bad and finished last week. So simple show notes! Best of Film/TV/Games in 2024 and what they a...

This episode was meant to post back on July 1st, but ::gestures to the world:: is happening. This also meant that I totally forgot I scheduled a post about leaving podcasting for today ; feel free to give that a read too. After listening to this episode and reading that post (which I wrote about a month ago), I realize that the impression I give is "I'M OUT FOREVER, BABY!" and that simply is not the case. Everything is Awesome may be done-ish forever (save for panels and/or special interviews), ...

Well... 2019 was something, huh? I guess not much... we only posted a few episodes. It was a pretty great year when it comes to the non-podcasting / creative side of things (but, that allowed my mental health to heal). There were definitely some setbacks, but I let most of them only effect this show and my own personal output. In 2020, we'll be getting caught up by posting 2-3 episodes a week until June-ish. We'll also be getting After Party of One caught up in January of 2020 and back to it's n...
