InTALLerable

Ronan Andrews is a musician, singer, and songwriter. His EP, Quarter Life Crisis, was released in 2022. All the songs from this EP are live-recordings, giving transformative power to his music; taking us all from Top Shelf Studios to a quaint Italian villa in no-time. Ronan talked with us about the origins of his Quarter Life Crisis EP and how he forged new friendships at CU Denver who would becom...

Dive ear-first into an unforgettable episode with Taylor Albrecht, a MoHi legend, and her fiance Greyson, a Smoky Hill High graduate (I was told we don’t like those). Their tales lead us from high school antics to college chapters, to current adult life. Ultimately leading us to the follies of man & TikTok-onomics. Along the way, Taylor and Greyson casually tell the origins of their love, a love b...

Iowa "Nice" sure goes a long way, especially when you realize that four essentially strangers joined us in Top Shelf for an afternoon of laughs & spirited discussion. An extra "Tall" thanks to Isabel, Nash, Jacob, and Hailey for challenging me with their perspectives, while giving me a glimpse into their lives. I wish I had the chance to talk to them each individually, because they all seem like f...

For the first episode post-op, I was excited to welcome back Josh to Top Shelf. He’s a Phoenix Suns fan, so I figured we could have some lively, good-natured smack-talk. At the time of recording this, the Denver Nuggets had a 2-0 lead on the Suns, heading back to the Valley for game 3. Josh and I were all over the court in this episode so if you’re not a hoops fanatic, worry not. We dribbled from...

When Jules & Paige first entered Top Shelf Studios, they may not have been prepared for the roller coaster to follow; Lord knows I wasn’t either. Paige, who left the medical field to seek fulfillment in new areas is wanting to start her own podcast called: “Broads & Brunch.” To be honest I didn’t ask about the ampersand, but it’s too late now.   We dive into the ever-changing waters of female frie...

Step right up and strap in, folks, because this one is a doozy in the best way. We've got Logan in Top Shelf Studios, a once almost stranger now turned guest, whom I met in the wildest of ways at a Tim Dillon show. The mystery of the slyly handed $20 bill? Yeah, you'll want to hear this. We're touching all the bases in this - the compelling dance between purpose and happiness, the way curiosity ca...

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, join us for a wondrous discourse with our high-school youth group leader and wise mentor, Clayton Vance. We journey through the valley of purpose and happiness, seeking the answers to life's profound questions with a touch of mirth. Can one find happiness without a purpose? How do we bear witness to tribulations and rejoice in the bountiful moments? Clayton shares...

A meeting of the minds was necessary. If you've been a loyal listener or have been lucky to check out his new show: Makanacast, then I'd hope you're prepared to welcome this wild man back into Top Shelf Studios. Makana graces us all with his free speech and thought crimes for a short, but spicy episode. We discuss the illusion of freedom, get some good 'ol fashion satirical ranting 'bout the 'Gov'...

Ladies and gentlemen, I am so excited to catch up with another old friend, someone who has an unshakeable spirit and positively overflowing with energy, filling up any room he occupies. Jacob Larson is the lead-singer for his 10 piece funk & soul ensemble - The Jacob Larson Band. You can check out their new album: 'Totally Legal' which was released late fall 2022. We talk about Jacob's musical jou...

Grab a Golden Girls box set and put on a poncho, because it’s Golden Hour in Top Shelf Studios as Patrick “Piss” Richardson joins InTALLerable. Patrick is a nine-year practicing Stand-Up Comic from Greeley, CO. He hosts two hilariously unique podcasts, “The Cobos & Patrick Podcast,” a riff-based show with co-host Matt Cobos, and “Certified Cinephiles,” a fake-movie-review show. Besides comedic end...

BA303 returns with his crew for a silly-goose-time in Top Shelf Studios. Full of everything from exchanging positive praise to Preston teaching Sean about this supposed cultural practice, a "Tax Loophole" if you will, in Mormon culture for pre-marital activities with a lover. Hint, put it in neutral. Along the way, we learn about Brandon's development since his last appearance, both personally and...

“I’m Retired,” he told us after we invited him to Top Shelf Studios. Patrick Miskella is a retired English teacher. After a thirty-seven year tenure of teaching in Wisconsin, Washington, Guam, New Mexico, and Colorado, Mr. Miskella wrote a novel, ‘Out of Time.’ Safe to say, he's been dealing with “the kids these days,” for longer than Sean has been one of "the kids these days." Sean was a student...

Nick Guidera is truly “Heighted” — Every time he comes back to Top Shelf Studios, he drops some serious wisdom on the mic. Honestly, this one took so long to release because it was so raw and real, I was left reflecting on Nick’s thoughts as I edited this episode. We began this episode talking about the challenges of reaching out when you need help. Do not be scared to reach out, people truly care...
