It’s always fun to talk to Kinsey and this was no exception. Brazilianisms #22 was a long time coming; after swapping emails for what felt like months, we finally found a time when our schedules meshed to come together across international VoIP and chat about Brazil.
I’m still figuring out when might be a good time to visit South America, potentially as early as next year, to visit this quirky and enthralling country.
Wow, two episodes in a row. June was a busy month for Dan “On Tap,” yet we found the time to record a show just days before his wedding.
After another marathon meal (this time at the Grand Lux Cafe), we went back to my parents house to record Life On Tap #38, focusing mostly on [...]
In our annual tradition, Dan “On Tap” and I met in Hartford, CT to see Dave Matthews Band. It was our sixth time seeing this jam band together and our third show at this venue (New England Dodge Music Center).
Life On Tap #37 chronicles this adventure after the fact, reflecting on a pre-concert Mexican [...]
I made another trek to Arizona to transport myself into the lives of Dan and Cj. This surprisingly marked only my second appearance on a full episode and it’s a memorable one. After viewing Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, we gave our reviews of the film and our time together.
Love Long and Prosper #80 [...]
One of the many benefits of visiting friends is being a guest on their show. I was in New Jersey, staying with Dan “On Tap,” to attend Star Trek: New York. Life On Tap #29 chronicles our weekend adventure as we reflect on another poignant convention.
It felt almost necessary for us to record together, [...]
Did you really think a topic like sex could be captured in a single episode? My conversation with Dani overflowed into Truth Seekers #45, with further explorations of the politics behind the dirty deed.
It’s especially easy for a professional podcast guest to appear on two episodes that result from a single recording session!
Dani knew she was asking for trouble when she claimed that her show would discuss the truth about sex. My return on Truth Seekers #44 marked a frank discussion of how America represses sex, quite possibly in response to its biggest business — religion.
Our talk was both lengthy and fulfilling — so much so, [...]
Since I was staying with Steve and Maureen for the long Christmas Weekend, I had a feeling that I’d make another appearance on their show. What I wasn’t expecting was that I would co-host Episode #75 with Maureen.
Steve unfortunately fell ill on Christmas Day; rather than postpone the recording, he and Maureen were gracious enough [...]
Our closing remarks of the JFK Assassination chat made its appearance on Truth Seekers NaPodPoMo29, with more thoughts on the Oliver Stone JFK film to the Warren Commission’s sealed documents — with a promise to reconvene in 10 years when they are released to the American public.
Before that, I vowed to return to the show [...]
The remaining portions of my discussion with Dani were spread across two short episodes, as part of NaPodPoMo (National Podcast Post Month). The focus of Truth Seekers NaPodPoMo28 was the murder of John Lennon, a devastating subject I have studied in great depth.
As an enormous Beatles fan — as I describe in this talk [...]
Any chance I get, I love to talk conspiracy. What better place than on Truth Seekers #40, in an episode dedicated to discussing the JFK Assassination in light of its 44th anniversary.
Dani let me dominate the floor, sharing my perspective on the most popular theories, based on my research, visit to Dallas, and our thoughts [...]
My appearance on All Axis Radio #62 was a long time coming. Ajay and I went back and forth for almost 4 months until we found a mutually convenient date. Listening to the final cut, it was well worth the wait.
We recorded nearly 2 hours of content together, shaved down to a reasonable [...]
After missing the previous episode, I returned to my regular stint in BarNuts #19.
While the only other regulars were Scott and Jason, I somehow convinced my friend, Cristy Joy, to join us once again. I was surprised to hear Bill Palmer from iProng at the virtual “bar,” hanging out with the likes of us.
This [...]
One of the best parts about staying with Steve and Maureen is appearing on their podcast. My latest visit took place just in time for Episode #68.
We were joined by our good friend, Frances (who attended Brandeis with us), for a four person romp that was a blast to record. I was delighted [...]
This post marks my final appearance on 365 Tao to date. As mentioned in the previous nine posts, I thoroughly enjoyed my participation in this project.
If more readings are needed, I am more than willing to contribute once again. I am not familiar with any other projects akin to this one, but would certainly be [...]
My second to last appearance on 365 Tao once again reveals this unique project so disparate from my normal routine in podcasting.
Known as a sideman, contributing my blend of humor and human experience, I was able to step outside of my performative self and provide a calm, reasonable voice along a spiritual vein.
I would not [...]
My eighth reading for 365 Tao reveals another important message and lesson in Buddhism.
As I have emphasized in previous, related posts, it is my interest in different religious perspectives and cultures that made this project so appealing to me. The opportunity to share in the meditation of worldwide listeners is truly honorable.
I am hopeful that [...]
Another telling title in this seventh reading from 365 Tao.
In an earlier post, I mentioned that my ten readings would appear over a ten day period on this blog. Clearly, life and its traps prevented this yesterday. I often must remind myself how necessary it is to step back and take a look at life [...]
My stay with Steve and Maureen during Labor Day Weekend invited an opportunity for an appearance on Wicked Good Podcast #66.
This was my first time on the show since the birth of Baby Bex. I have been a faithful listener and was delighted when asked to join this couple during their Sunday recording session. The [...]
This sixth reading for 365 Tao was my first in a second series of five recordings.
You can imagine my delight when Greg Demetrick approached me again in June 2007 for another round of Buddhist meditation. Since I savored the project so much the first time around (in Fall 2006), I could not refuse another [...]
My fifth appearance on 365 Tao was the last of my first round of readings, which I recorded in October 2006.
This program features a separate feed for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, so that the meditations coordinate properly with the seasons. I enjoy the thought of people across the world utilizing this podcast to [...]
This post features my fourth reading for 365 Tao. I’m always impressed when I listen to this program, since it reminds me of my interest in Tibetan Buddhism, and how I always crave knowledge about other cultures.
We never seem to devote the time necessary in studying other people and beliefs. Moreso, taking the time just [...]
We had a blast recording BarNuts #17. I was now a regular and invited Amaya, the lead singer of Uncle Seth, to share her unique, Canadian perspective to the show.
Joined as usual by Nobilis, Scott, and Jason, the two female voices of Amaya and Nobilis’ wife, Dee, provided just the right atmosphere we needed for [...]
My work with 365 Tao continues with this third reading.
Even if you know nothing about Buddhism, this project is a great way to start a meditation program. Episodes are only several minutes in length and feature some top voices in podcasting. It was an honor and a pleasure to take part in this [...]
This is the second in a series of ten readings I performed for Greg Demetrick’s 365 Tao project. As a student of Anthropology, this intrigued me after some study of world religions — specifically, Tibetan Buddhism.
I was a V.I.P. Usher when the Dalai Lamai spoke at Brandeis University, my alma mater, in 1998. [...]
Greg Demetrick of 5 Questions approached me at Podcamp Boston in September 2006, asking if I’d like to lend my voice to some Buddhist meditation readings for a new project called 365 Tao.
I have always been fascinated by Buddhism, so I leapt at this unique opportunity; I had the chance to do so again for [...]
So, apparently, I “replaced” one of the regulars on this most casual podcast. We crossed paths upon his return in BarNuts #16.
I think the usual crew was expecting some type of fallout, or conflict, but that soon passed. Johnny B and I got along quite well and he brought some interesting conversation to the table.
Kinsey is an interesting fellow, to say the least. I became acquainted with him through Dan and Cj of Love Long and Prosper (he’s clearly their biggest fan). I thought his show could use a pick-me-up, and some serious listeners, so we spent some time discussing Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (among other, uncomfortable topics) [...]
Thirty seconds were added to my 15 minutes of fame when I made my television debut on ABC World News with Charles Gibson. The topic: Geek Love.
I joined SweetonGeeks.com after a friend informed me of its existence. The Head Geek asked all members if they wanted to be on the news. After [...]
With some excellent guests lined up, BarNuts #15 had the potential for greatness. I invited my friend Cristy Joy from Stickam, along with Dan and Cj from Love Long and Prosper to the “bar.”
Unfortunately, due to a slew of technical problems, we lost our usual flow. And, to make matters worse, a good portion of [...]
My first, long-anticipated appearance on a full-length episode of Love Long and Prosper took place in Episode #61. We had been planning my guest stint around the episode focusing on Star Trek III; this was actually recorded over Skype, and kind of at the last minute, which is always when I find the best [...]
I’ve been friends with Dan “On Tap” since our freshman year of college and wanted to be on his podcast from the start. After all, he was the first guest on my show and made several appearances during its run. While staying at his home in New Jersey for July 4th, we did [...]
By the time we recorded BarNuts #14, I was pretty much considered a regular. The highlight of this episode was Esperanza, whom before this time was only a topic of conversation. Not knowing the history of the show, I had leapt right in without any expectations. We were shaping the content and [...]
Several weeks after my first appearance, I was invited back to join the crew for BarNuts #13. This ranks as my favorite spot, especially with Dan “On Tap” present — who is no stranger to frequenting a bar. We had a genuinely good time recording this episode, whether onsite at the [...]
I am neither a fan of Buffy nor Angel, but I had to jump on the opportunity to read some fan fiction, when Tabz made the call out for readers. My appearance on Episode #32 was a new opportunity for me to shine as a voice artist. I’ve always wanted to read an audio book, [...]
My discovery of the BarNuts Podcast is pretty random. Jason Tucker posted a tweet (message on Twitter) seeking guests for a show about which I knew nothing. This off-the-cuff, informal recording resulted in Episode #12, my first in an ongoing stint as a regular at the virtual bar.
With Maureen on the verge of giving birth, and on the heels of Steve and I attending the rainy Boston Marathon, we recorded Wicked Good Podcast #54. Now a Massachusetts resident for over a month, I spent Patriots’ Day in the company of two other, more experienced New England transplants. This was [...]
Just days before moving into my new house, Steve and Maureen kindly put me up and we recorded Wicked Good Podcast #48. This exciting moment in time is captured in audio, Maureen now 8 months pregnant, and was the last time I stayed at their home before becoming an official Massachusetts resident. Things [...]
My second appearance with Steve and Maureen was on Wicked Good Podcast #40, their first episode of 2007, following a New Year’s stay at their home (The Wicked Good Compound). Their show had blossomed, they were both well known in the podcasting community, and Maureen was over 4 months pregnant. My stint doing [...]
I didn’t think I had time to visit my new podcast friend, Dan, and his wife, Cj, while in Phoenix on business. After convincing me that we must meet, and picking me up at my hotel, I had my first face-to-face meeting with podcasters. This, of course, resulted in us recording a Super [...]
My first official podcast guest appearance was with my college friends, Steve and Maureen, on Wicked Good Podcast #10. Little did we know that in a year they would be parents, I would be living in Massachusetts, and they would be the recipients of a Podcast Peer Award. Their show was still young [...]
We are proud to unleash Act II.
You’ve been ushered into The Decade. You have a pretty good idea about what Tre Fab means. But uncertainty lingers. . . what will come to pass in the seemingly dream-like landscape of Xavier-enhanced Manhattan?
If you’ve been gnashing your teeth and racking your brains over what will happen in [...]
Desolate METROPOLIS is a fresh and daring drama by Scott A. Josephson, which mocks the Fashion Industry. Set in Greenwich Village, an eclectic blend of stylish couture enthusiasts, cynics, poets, and miraculous minds exchange souls in a tale as darkly delicious as it is haunting and hilarious.
Originally composed for the stage in the Summer [...]
