Sherpa Selects:Podcaster Brandy Singleton ("A Voice to be Reckoned With")!

Brandy is ABSOLUTELY one of my favorite people in Podcastia! She still gets a kick out of the fact that I had her doing cartoon voices. But if you love hearing people speak with authentic passion, look for her on social media. You'll be glad you did! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________- As you will hear, Brandy is a lot of fun to talk to. Plus, I had equally as much fun as a guest on her show, "A Voice to be Reckoned With." I fo...

True Crime Screening Room: Profiler/Author Phil Chalmers("Speaking Truth To Evil")!

I think that this episode fits the "trifecta of true crime guests", if there ever was one. Phil is a profiler, podcast host, and author. He shared a lot of information, but there's way more to be found, by checking out his book (link below). So, check out some serial killer myths as they are exploded, and later, The Sherpa talks social media, and changes coming to Sherpalution ( none which involve tariffs, we promise). Thanks for coming on the show, Phil!. Follow Phil (not like a stalker, PLEASE...

Sherpa Selects: John Maye ("The Binge-Watchers Podcast")!

Great news! You can still catch new episodes of "The Binge-Watchers Podcast". John is still cranking out episodes and offering his perspective on today's popular movies, among other things. Definitely worth the listen!! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 3!! Okay, I'll start by answering the burning question. Even though it's an audio-only podcast (for your own good) John did an e...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Singer/Songwriter Kyndle Wylde!

Almost halfway through the season, and while I've been very happy with the guests that have been on so far, this episode is a real favorite. Kyndle was so much fun to talk with, and she has a really interesting story to tell, too! I'm sure her upcoming release will make a lot of people sit up and take notice of her immense talent. (And if they are already sitting up, they will stand! And do cartwheels! Too much? Sorry...) But as promised, here are some links where you can get a sample of Kyndle'...

Sherpa Selects: SSR-Horror Director/Cinematographer Colin Bressler!

Horror Fans! It's a throwback interview with horror director Colin Bressler. You can catch some of his spooooooooky stuff online or on streaming networks! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 2! I've gotta hand it to a guy like Colin Bressler. From a self-described "scaredy cat" to a director of horror movies that will scare the you-know-what out of you, he certainly has come f...

We get to (clean!) grill Jeff Krentzman ("Mind Your Pucking Business")!

I guess I really didn't know as much about grill cleaning as I thought, until speaking to Jeffrey. I guess it's time to throw out that yak carcass that I left on the rotisserie. (I'd call his company, but I don't know if I'll get charged for the vultures flying around it. How embarrassing...) But his story isn't exactly what I expected it to be, which made it all the more interesting. Plus, I'm so glad that I got to actually talk about podcasting! Hey, you don't think other podcasters were avoid...

Sherpa Selects: SSR- Voiceover Actor Roy Worley!

There have been a few interviews that I've done with voiceover actors, and I always find them so interesting, because of the unique part they play in the entertainment field. This was a great chat, with a really nice guest, from 2020! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three shows this week, Rebels, and here's Number 1!! I've got such a huge backlog of shows to edit....

True Crime Screening Room: Author Daniel Zimmerman ("Chasson's Run")

The first thing I had to ask Daniel before our interview was how to pronounce the escapee's name. "Just think 'Chasin' ", was his reply. This was a fascinating interview for me. Daniel has led quite the interesting life, as you will hear. Even with his connection to the events he writes about, he really brings such a unique perspective. This is one of the interviews I call a standout...even if you have to hear my voice on it. Thanks for coming on the show, Daniel! Here's the Amazon link to "Chas...

Sherpa Selects: SSR-Director Lana Read!

Five years later, and Lana is still cranking out movies! Make sure you check out her IMDB, and your streaming services to find them. This chat was back in 2020, and was a fun one! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soooo much laughing! That's what happens when you hang out with Lana Read! You can tell what a good time we were having during the interview. Oh, did I say Welcome to Season 3?...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Talent Agent Dr. Albert Bramante!

Thanks so much to Dr. Bramante for this interview! You can follow him on social media for more pointers or buy his book (see below), but I think this interview really lays groundwork for aspiring actors...or even folks venturing out into a new career, don't you think? (Don't worry, I'll just bill your insurance for the favor,,,) Follow Dr. Bramante on Instagram : @dralbramante Here's the Amazon link for "Rise Above The Script": https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Above-Script-Confronting-Performing-eboo...

May 28, 202532 minSeason 14Ep. 8

Sherpa Selects:Jared Easley ("Starve the Doubts")!

"Starve the Doubts" can STILL be found on your favorite podcast apps, with over 400 episodes, and I believe that Jared is still involved with Podcast Movement (although they're no longer ragers at his house...) Have a listen to this episode from 2020...and tell me what was YOUR first concert? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I got to know alot about Jared in our cross-promotion intervi...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Adventure Illusionist Rich Manley!

I'm not one to leave "inside jokes" in my interviews, so just for reference; 1. "Beautiful Downtown Burbank" was referenced in the 1960's/'70's tv show, "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" which aired YEARS before Rich was born; and 2, I opened the wrong video application to record the interview, but luckily, Rich appeared...like magic! So, speaking pf magic, be sure to check out Rich's show on Tubi, "Culture Shock". where you will see much magic, and of course, be amazed. If you haven't caught it y...

Sherpa Selects: SSR-Actor Joe Finfera!

A throwback to a COVID era interview! It's funny-I'd seen Joe a while back on General Hospital, twice playing seedy characters, yet when I interviewed, ghe was definitely one of the most down to earth actors I'd met. There are a few that fall on this list, but somebody better cast this guy as a regular on a tv show-the tv world is missing out on a true talent! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...

True Crime Screening Room: Author Rod Sadler ("Depraved Obsession")

I hope that the fact that we've covered 2 true crime editors who write about murders in Michigan isn't making you reconsider your vacation time! I know the Detroit Metro Airport, and I can safely say that me or my pilot was never murdered there. Anyway, thanks so much to Rod for coming on. Here's the link to his book, along with his website, where you can check out his other books, too!

Sherpa Selects: SSR: Actor/Podcaster Patrick Harney!

Update: Patrick has got a new podcast ( "The Free Couch" )going on, and is still happily married to the lady mentioned in the interview. And he's a super-nice guy,too! It's funny that Patrick Harney went from a guy who had no interest in being in a school production to a guy involved in promoting a movie he's involved with. He was talking about the importance of being a good person, and I could tell how important that still is to him. His fiance is certainly a lucky lady. He's got a realistic vi...

Sherpa Selects: SSR- Actor/ Comic Jean Pierre Giagnoli ("Ford vs. Ferrari)

Rebels, I needed some time to recuperate from my spring break (translation: time spent counting toenail clippings...we think they're his) that I figured, let's do a Sherpa Select with Jean-Pierre. This guy can do so much, it's making me tired...so have a listen!! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome to Faces to Watch Week in the Sherpa Screening Room! I would refer t...

Sherpa Selects: Nick from "Fancounters"!

Alas, no new episodes of "Fancounters" have been found in Podcastia for a little while. But check out this 2020 interview with Nick, to hear his stories on when celebs meet fans! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We get those situations in our lives. The accidental...or intentional, meeting with a celebrity. But what's the celebrity's take on that encounter? Enter Nick and Elizabeth, wi...

The Sherpa Screening Room: Actor James Dumont("Righteous Gemstones", "Jurassic World", "Speed")!

Here's the link to the trailer for "Unit 234" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5lUss1WZqY Thanks so much to James for coming on the show. Be sure to catch his movie in theatres, or video on demand, when it's released.. It looks like an exciting one, Rebels! Or, catch him on "Righteous Gemstones." Or any of the 150 movie or tv appearances that he's made (we're not kidding....). This is a really insightful and inspiring conversayion about acting that I think that many aspiring actors sdhould hea...

Sherpa Selects: SSR: Author Steve Stoliar!("Raised Eyebrows")

Another 2020 interview, with an author who lived in Groucho Marx's home (Don't know who Groucho was? Look him up, you'll be amazed and amused!) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you, Steve, for your classic Hollywood stories! Here are the links to check out Steve's book and his website. I'm sure you'll enjoy them! Steve's website: http://stevestoliar.com/ "Raised Eyebrows" Amazon.com link: https://www.ama...

Rick is STILL busy to this day, making broken hearts happy! Check out his websitem if this interests you! ________________________________________________________________________________________________ My bulb might have gone out during my conversation with Rick, but it was an enlightening conversation. (Oh, he did not just write that...) I'm always amazed by the different perspectives presented by my guests on dating and relationships. I guess it's why they say men are from Mars and women are ...

Robert is still keeping very busy! Catch him in the 2024 movie "Saturday Night", where he plays SNL director, Dave Wilson! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You know, maybe I could take a cue from Robert and call my show, "$herpa: Too Many Podca$t$!" Or not. That title looks like I fell asleep at my keyboard. Which I have done, so I speak from experience. Robert has had ...

Bill was such an incredibly nice guy-and still, what a fascinating career he's had! Check this interview out! ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Quick question- How many people do you know who have written children's books, played a "walker" on "Fear the Walking Dead" and own a vineyard...all in one lifetime, that is?

Sherpa Selects: SSR- Actor Dwight Turner ("Chicago Fire")!

These days, while Dwight is still acting, he's involved with a lot of the other elements of acting and cresating as well. Check out this interview from 2020! I had a good time interviewing Dwight. He's a really down-to-earth actor with a true dedication to his craft. You can hear how much he love to act in our interview. And he'll be singing soon, too! When I was watching his clip on "1000 Ways to Die", it made me wonder about a bizarre death for the Sherpa. I'm imagining being eaten by Goldfish...

This! When people ask me for one of my fave interviews, this one ALWAYS seeps into the conversation. True story: we had to scrap the original becuuse Pat was outside, and the wind noise cut into our chat. He graciously obliged for a re-do, and told even MORE stories, which you get right here! ______________________________________________________________________________ Pat had soooo many stories to tell, along with being very knowledgeable about the backgrounds of many a Hollywood tale. He's on...

The Sherpa Screening Room: True Crime Author DR Bartlette ("The Dumond Affair")!

True crime time again, Rebels! And what an ideal way to round out Season 13 with a true crime story that has to be heard to be believed. Like so many of the authors that I've interviewed, you can hear how much time and research DeLani put into creating her book. And who knew that she was an 80's fan, like me? So if you like your true crime with a side of political intrigue (or extra pepperoni), be sure tio grab a copy of The Dumond Affair . The Amazon link is below, but you can get it wherever b...
