Cold Cases! With Dr. Alyce Clark (Author,"The Forgotten Girls")! 27:32

4d ago27:32

27:32

During the course of our interview, Dr. Clark made a statement that was so powerful in its simplicity, when it comes to cold cases: "Talk about it." Those three words are an inspiring reminder that there could be information that leads to these cold cases being solved.

Podcaster/ Journalist Katherine Brodsky ("Mind The Future")!! 45:12

8d ago45:12

45:12

Alas, no new episodes of "Mind the Future" are around, but from what I got to know about Katherine, she's probably got a really cool project going on. Off-mic, she paid me probably one of the best compliments I've ever received-that I would have made a good journalist. What? You thought she was going to say I wasn't as hideous as she expected? Drea…

"Songcraft-Spotlight on Songwriters" (Listen To This!) w/ Scott B. Bomar & Paul Duncan! 2:02:32

11d ago2:02:32

2:02:32

Rebels, I'm not quite sure why I kept on saying "spotlight on songwriting" and not "spotlight on songwriters", given how long I've been listening to this podcast, and have heard essentially all of their episodes. I'm blaming it on small print. Or the Mandela Effect (Bobby Mandela kept throwing things at me during the interview). Or locusts. It was …

Ep. 268 - BOOTSY COLLINS ("Flash Light") 55:59

13d ago55:59

55:59

Number one Funkateer Bootsy Collins takes us to Funk University! From his days in James Brown's group, to his work with Parliament/Funkadelic and Booty's Rubber Band, to his recent single that raises awareness about domestic violence, "the world's only rhinestone rock-star doll" tears the roof off the sucker and breaks it all down for us. Songcraft…

Loving your true crime? You can still catch Sarah and Laura (who, unfortunately, couldn't be in this interview) on "Ivy League Murders", which is really fascinating.

Initially, I received an email from Jennifer apologizing for not seeing my request for an interview from a few months back. (That's the LAST time I email in invisible ink...) But hey, life happens, and this was very much worth the wait! You'll see in this interview that she's very lively and a fun guest to talk with, right off the bat. She let me k…

Sports Podcaster John Orlando ("PVDcast")! 43:47

22d ago43:47

43:47

You can still hear new episodes of "PVDcast", which is great news about another podcast that survived COVID! But this throwback is definitely a fun one. I think he still does "Mat Talk." But is Kathy Bates mentioned in it??? See for yourself! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________…

Meet Entrepreneur Oksana Kolesnikova! 34:24

25d ago34:24

34:24

We really don't hear too many stories about "The American Dream" anymore. As I mention in the intro, Oksana's story comes as close as you'd expect to it. From a musical talent in Siberia to an amazing business in Los Angeles, it's certainly been an interesting road for her. And you'll hear about it in this interview. Granted, I don't normally do ep…

"The Long Island Sign Guy" is Here! (Didn't You See the Sign???) 37:11

1M ago37:11

37:11

So, Arthur Frischman, aka The Long Island Sign Guy, has become quite the sensation with his historical trivia tidbit videos about Long Island. He had a bunch of great stories to tell in addition to the history stuff. I guess I could do video shorts about Mount Podcastia, but then they'd find me and I would have to pay the fine on that overdue libra…

Podcaster Mike Faber ("Earth Station One")!! 45:48

1M ago45:48

45:48

This is one of the episodes that for me, falls into the "pleasant surprise" category. First of all, Mike was so much fun to chat with, and as I mentioned back then in the notes below, this interview was very educational. And "Earth Station One" is still out there for you to enjoy, too! _______________________________________________________________…

Author Mark Gray ("The Las Vegas Massacre Connections")! 32:48

1M ago32:48

32:48

I can admit that in my vast inventory of episodes, maybe a handful could be considered truly inspiring. (Well unless, you want to be inspired to be a better podcaster than me, then, it's a low bar. But I digress...) This interview falls into that category of the select few. Imagine yourself in Mark's place, covering a concert which devolves into a …

Promoter(and Ex-Presidential Candidate?)Middagh Goodwin! 48:39

2M ago48:39

48:39

Important life lesson, Rebels: You probably won't have too many conversations with a guy named Middagh (unless you're married to him) and eden then, it's going to be a very interesting conversation. I haven't seen his name on the ballot, but I believe he's still hosting "This Is Ska." So check it out, if you're ready to do some serious skanking* ( …

Killers Caught! Author Dennis Carson ("Every Killer Leaves A Trace")! 28:50

2M ago28:50

28:50

It's been certainly an interesting season for true crime, Rebels, so why not wrap it up with an episode about serial killers getting caught? Dennis' audio came out a bit choppy in spots (sorry!!), but he still paints a chilling picture of these horrific crimes. A few things to notice...first, any "gallows humor" in this episode in no way reflects i…

Good news, Rebels! In a podcasting era where many podcasts from COVID are no longer around, I'm happy to report that "Canned Ait" is still kicking!

Rocker/ Podcaster Jesse Blaze Snider ("Coolest Geek Alive") Returns (Again)! 52:54

2M ago52:54

52:54

Rebels, it's kind of rare on this show to have one guest who's promoted 3 different projects on 3 separate episodes, but I think if you factor Jesse in, that rarity goes away. He's been involved in so many aspects of media, it's like an endless supply for him. And fortunately for me ,and you, the listeners, it's always interesting content! I honest…

Podcaster Andy Imhof ("Pardon My Fork")! 46:40

So,here's what I know(not much, I know...). No new episodes of "Pardon My Fork", and Andy moved from Oregon to Florida shortly after this interview aired. (Honestly, did I create THAT much of a problem talking about ducks?). What I AM sure of was that this interview falls under the fun and interesting category...have a listen! _____________________…

Judge Michael Randazzo ("Presiding Over Shadows: From Chaos to Order in the Court")! 37:23

2M ago37:23

37:23

Another unique episode, Rebels. Judge Randazzo felt the best way to come clean about any speculation about his family history was to write his book.It presents an honest accounting of his ancestors and the lives that they lived, even though they sharply contrast with the values that he holds as a circuit county judge. Definitely an interesting way …

This was the original interview that I had with Darran during the COVID lockdown. But good news, club fans! "The DJ Sessions" is back, and we featured an episode for our "Listen To This" portion of the program, in Season 14, Episode Darran Bruce strikes me as a guy who likes to be ahead of the curve. As opposed to me. who tends to trip on it, and g…

On one of my "Sherpa Hunts" ( I think you on flat land call it "searching the Internet") for an interesting history podcast, I stumbled across Marc's show(s), and he replied to my interview request( I guess he never saw the "restraining order" thingy?).

Throwback to a COVID-era interview with a modern day King of Swing!

In Federal Prison for 2 years-Author Paul Smith ("Cruel & Unusual Punishment") 58:06

3M ago58:06

58:06

Rebels, a few clarifications first...in the intro, I accidentally referred to Paul's book as "Crime and Punishment", (which I believe is Dostoevsky) also, while Paul was gracious enough to speak to me while he was in Germany, he was not in any sort of prison. He was released 28 months into his sentence, in 2022, but you'll hear that in the intervie…

True Crime Screening Room: Doug Fifer (Author, Fifty Shades of True Crime")! 30:55

3M ago30:55

30:55

Rebels, I really enjoyed this interview. I have an immense respect for law enforcement, and when you get to hear their perspectives on their work, it's always fascinating. Doug's book might not be for the faint of heart, but it really provides a brutally honest compilation of sexually deviant crimes. (I'm not sure if I blushed when I read it, but i…

Last time I checked, this is now known as "The Brian Snow Show" , where you can catch some recent episodes on YouTube . I think Brian has even branched out beyond sports,now. But I think this is one episode where the laughing started even before we started recording. Definitely a fun one, Rebels! ____________________________________________________…
