Jules Oakes is a comedian and performer. She’s autistic, anti-fascist, ADHD, and she has an obsession with pigeons. We met each other at the Fringe while flyering for our shows. Unfortunately, our times conflicted, so we couldn’t see each other’s shows...Fortunately, she was down to record a podcast instead.

Felicia Michaels is a comedian, photographer, and actor. Her episode of Marc Maron’s WTF was one of my favorites. She has an amazing story. This is my second time interviewing her, and based on the rules of 1000, will likely be my last. So, I wanted to cover as much ground as possible.

Colin Hernandez is a Democratic Socialist and Candidate for CA Assembly District 51. He was recommended to me by a trusted colleague, as somebody trying to use the levers of elected office for good. Ahoy! Midterms ahead!

Danilo Napoli is an actor, writer, and producer from Italy. I saw his show, This Show Has Been Canceled (Due To The End Of The World), and it was absolutely brilliant. It tackles climate change, and it’s unapologetically anti-capitalist. Plus it’s Italian? We had drinks after, as Michael Blaha of Fringe Management produced the show and he also produced Termination Fee. Unsurprisingly, Danilo and I got along pretty well.

Cyrus Naderpour is a comedian and, now, an influencer. He also used to co-produce one of the most successful shows in LA before it folded. We talk the journey and finding our place in all of it. Please welcome to the show, Cyrus Naderpour.

Jon Schnitzer is a comedian and filmmaker. His latest Fringe show, “Something Spooky,” took the Hollywood Fringe by storm. His first show, “Just the Tip,” which is about his upbringing learning about Zionism and then later questioning everything, was beloved around the country.

Ester Maria Segretto is a photographer and author. She is an Italian-American, who, like myself, celebrates the culture and food but found herself at odds with the conservative political undertones that often accompanied it. Thanks to organizations like PIACE and Italians Against Fascism and others, we’ve been finding our people and each other.

Adam Cagley is an actor and writer. He’s been doing the Hollywood thing since he was kid. He got to work with Jeremy Allen White when he played Lip’s roommate on Shameless. Then, he walked away from all of it to become a Horror Writer. Books no less. We talk about his journey.

Dennis Trainor Jr. is an actor, writer, and stage performer. He was the Communications Director for Jill Stein, and he was active during both Occupy and the early days of political YouTube with his channel, Acronym TV. We’ve both distanced ourselves from the YouTube space some. Another thing we have in common: We’re both Edinburgh Fringe bound this year, 2026. 

Ready to talk about sex? Billy Procida is a sex-positive comedian and self-proclaimed whore. He’s the host of the Manwhore podcast, and founder of the Naked Comedy Show, which constantly sells out. I met Billy at a comedy festival over 10 years ago when he was still finding his footing in all of this.
