To a Certain Degree

Two wrongs may not make a right (there is no scientific evidence of this), but two great artists make for a wonderful episode of To a Certain Degree. Longtime friends and current UCF students Bubblegumgrrrl and Midori Ringo are a delight, listen up!

It's the most delicious episode to date of To a Certain Degree as Kevin and Maria Ruiz visit the WPRK studio to discuss their Peruvian-inspired popup, Papa Llama. What's a popup? What is Peruvian food like? Did they bring food in for the host of the show? The answer to that last one is no, sadly.

If there's a 3D printing spectrum, I'm at the novice end, just above caveman. My guest for this episode, Jim Inziello, is way on the other side. 3D design, world building, all of it. Jim is the real deal. And he has a healthy respect for the Venture Brothers, so you know he's a good guy.

Mike Lightner will cosplay his way into your heart at local cons, just like he does on this episode of To a Certain Degree. He and Nick discuss the ins and outs of getting into character, photo etiquette, and his Macho Man impersonation. Slim Jims for all! This episode was recorded on May 21, 2018, on WPRK FM.

A married couple. A sarcastic interviewer. A basement radio station. Drama, comedy. Theater. Okay, it's a regular episode of To a Certain Degree. But we do talk a lot about acting and theater.

Rediscovering a passion and turning it into a career. That's what Ryan Forrestal decided to do, and he's been pretty successful as a working actor. Listen to how he got this part on this episode of TaCD!

Adam and Megan Judd. Central Florida natives. They are mid century modern home fans. And parents of three great kids. There may be more to them than that, you'll have to listen to find out.

Peter von Taborsky, the talented host of Scotch and "good" Conversation, joins Nick on this episode, and the man knows how to converse. Great chat, give it a listen!

Spinning yarns and laying it on the line. That's the goal of the speakers at Orlando Story Club, and hosts Danielle Ziss and Bobby Wesley are on this episode to tell that story. The story of Orlando Story Club. Story time!

How's your green thumb? If you're lucky, you have two of them like this episode's guest, Gary Li of Piante Design. Opening shop in Winter Park in late 2017, he's sowing seeds and designing gardens in the Orlando area. This episode was recorded on March 12, 2018, on WPRK FM.

Ever wonder what goes through someone's head when they start up a t-shirt company? Well then this episode with Emily Misura is for you. We cover a lot of other topics as well, including Dashboard Confessional, 72 Hour Blinds, and more.

Aquanza Cadogan has spoken at many events in the CFL* area, including Nerd Nite, Orlando Story Club, and PechaKucha. Now, he takes on his greatest challenge to date, an interview on To a Certain Degree. Just kidding, he killed it, amazing guy. Listen up!

Brian, art. Derek, astronomy. Also, they just happen to have the same last name. Now that's a show worth listening to a few times. So what are you waiting for?

ID can stand for many things. Identification. I don’t. Even inanimate Dagwood. In the context of this interview with Jennifer Ritter, it stands for Instructional Design. Learn more about that, how she got into the industry via her History degree, and much more!

It's a pot episode with Amber Weatherford! No not that kind of pot. Not that one either. Like ceramics that you put plants in. Sorry, that was a little misleading.

Kali Friend of Kill 'Em With Cuteness is this episode's interviewee. Topics covered include parking lot phobias, succeeding in a crowded market, and the joy of connecting over obscure pop culture references. Take a listen!

Dive into the creative process in general and very specifically with Ashleigh Ann Gardner and Monica Mulder. They were in the process of staging Ghost & Funeral Party, but this interview is relatively poltergeist free.

Founding director of the R School Meribeth Huebner gets up early to talk shop in this episode. Why starting an elementary school was the right move for her, and how she keeps it moving forward.

Local author and all around officer/gentleman Hunter Choate had the pressure of being the first guest of 2018 on To a Certain Degree. He was more than up to the challenge. We talk rejection, hope, and more rejection on this episode.

WMFE's one-of-a-kind space reporter Brendan Byrne returns to WPRK for another To a Certain Degree experience. Wiser, but still bearded and bespectacled, he once again puts up with Nick's flights of fancy.

Improvising. Podcasting. Creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Amanda and Emily are back for another episode of important topics and comedy gold. After you're done with this episode, check out their earlier appearance on TaCD. Then all of their podcasts. Then all of these podcasts. And then you can listen to whatever you want.

Star Trek. Artificial Intelligence. Hats. One of these three things isn't covered extensively in this episode with special returning guest Hap Aziz. Take a listen!

Jeremy Seghers returns to WPRK for a full-length episode of To a Certain Degree. When last we spoke, he was just about to stage Saint Joan. This time around, he's prepping for a 2018 that is full of work by local playwrights. Give it a listen!

Secrets. We all have them. But do we have a society of them? Yes! Learn more about it in this interview with Secret Society Goods founder and head somnambulist Sean Walsh.

Nick catches up with old friend Shye Gilad on this episode of To a Certain Degree. Shye's a business consultant, podcaster, and professor, therefore he had a lot of Bad Business Ideas pitched at him. He knocked them all out of the park, mainly to get them away from him.
