Podcast Picks with Jim the Podcast Sherpa

Definitely a change of pace, as far as true crime episodes are concerned! Jonathan has lived an interesting life and has brought some truly fascinating and thrilling works to the reading public. Apologies for me sounding like I got electrocuted during the interview. (I didn't...it was after the interview.) But this story of Greg Scarpa is the stuff movies are made of, and I'm glad I got to talk to...

These days, Stacey has been involved in lots of entrepreneurial work, and some fan sites, some even involving Cedric the Entertainer. (Hey Cedric, I watch your show, why don't you come on mine? Is it that "lack of talent image" I project? Um, fair enough.....) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...

Here are the titles of the podcasts featured in this week's "Sherpa Samples" Science Quickly Detective Dexter My Unsung Hero Nutrition Diva Ramsey Everyday Millionaire if You're Listening r/Slash Nature Podcast Song Exploder Arnold's Pump Club Catch "Sherpa Selects" on Saturdays. It's the episodes you tried to avoid the first time around! More thanks: Music Credits/Voiceovers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

"Calling Old Hollywood" called it quits in 2024, but there are a lot of fascinating back stories to be heard on this one. And the back stories on Kat, too!! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ok, Rebels, you heard the story right- Kat jammed with Green Day when she was 11! ELEVEN years old. When I was 1...

You can still hear new episodes of "The Jeff Dwoskin Show",by the way. So have a listen to an earlier chat that I got to have with "Michigan's Favorite Son*" (*Not officially verified).! Welcome to 3 days of comedy related podcasts! And this was a SML (so much laughing) week for your Sherpa. But once you hear these interviews, I'm guessing you'll cut me a little slack? Anyway, we kick things off w...

The last few years, Lisa has been acting in a few horror films. But I wonder if anything was ax scary as the story that you'll hear from this interview, from a few years ago? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You know it's serious stuff when there's a warning in the title! Lisa's book hadn'...

Love Electronic Dance Music? We're featuring an episode from "The DJ Sessions" with an interview with Dr. Fresch, from 2023. Plus, we're spending a little time with host Darran Bruce, chatting about his podcast, with a closer look at this music. I also got to be interviewed on his show ( https://www.thedjsessions.com/Jim07125 ) . I know...you're thinking, "What's the Sherpa doing on an electronic...

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...

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...

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 answ...

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 cartwh...

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"...

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...

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! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...

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...

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! Y...

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 li...

"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'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,...

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! _____________________________________...

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! Website: h...

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 te...

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!! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...

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, meeti...

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 i...
