You won't find him on the walls of the Basketball Hall of Fame. There's not going to be a Tony award for his lyrics. BUT you will find thousands of people who have seen him in performances in Chicago. His Second City background augmented by some cherished time with Del Close. If you want to be frightened at a movie? Chances are Bill will find a way to make you squeal! Check out this chat with Aunty and her horror-ish-comedy-ish pal, Bill D Russell.

There are many guests on the Aunty Sochelle Hour-ish whom I know personally, and they are often from the comedy world. Today's guest and I have a long history of running into each other- and got to really know each other better during some pretty heavy life changes. One of my favorite interviews of 2026, and I am going to guess it's yours as well- the truth is all we got and we got so much of it with the one and only Actor's actor, comedian's comedian, and downright no BS BS-er, Ms. Stephanie Hodge.

He is one of the "old timers" of podcasting, having a show that is nearly at the end of its second decade. If anyone knows the tricks and tips of chatting online, it has to be Kurt Sasso.

You, the very ones who have followed the upward path of the Aunty, are aware that I generally only bring guests on whom I think YOU will love the exact way I adore them. The people are smart, funny, warm and a majority of them really seem to want to share things with you. THAT is exactly who Doug Jones is, and certainly his longtime manager and friend Derek Maki lights those charms as well. Check out this introduction to their upcoming project. Visit both of these fine gents on GetMeDougJones.com Help support independent cinema to create a film about the decades of work. This entertaining performer certainly has been in many if not ALL your favorite films and television.

In 50 years when people look back at this time in history, it won't be the texts of news stories- it will be political cartoons that truthfully point out the facts, fictions and foibles of events, people and societal impact. RJ Matson is one of the finest in the field, able to encapsulate the absurd and horrifying in a single image. Aunty chats with one of her favorite and thought-provoking people. Check out the interview and subscribe!!

His face is so familiar you may wonder if you hadn't gone to school with him. For decades he has appeared in your favorite movies and television shows. His commercial reel is timeless. But Sean Whalen is so much more than a pretty face- he is a talented writer, having scripted a lot of episodic television, and now he is an accomplished Producer and Director of his own motion picture. Sean's movie CRUST is winning a cult following on streaming services. Aunty chats with her newest friend born exactly 18 days after she was. The pair will enchant you on the merriment of film making and just being. We love Sean and we KNOW you'll love him, too, and DO see CRUST!

I have met many artists in my life. Some have museum pieces; some have jail records. Most are somewhere in between. The artists who inspire me aren't those who take the standard trail to their fame and fortune...and that is how we found Eric Kozlowsky. This games Art Director, environmental artist and sculptor is not only a particularly skilled craftsman but is also a downright funny human being.  Check out this lively chat with Eric Koz (with a Z, please), and learn a little about the industry of games, and the qualities of his artwork.

If you take a rudimentary glance at the IMDB page for Xander Berkeley be prepared to sit there for a while.  This humble thespian has hundreds of credits, has worked in some of the best franchises in television and movies, and can read a poem like there's a life on the line. But did you know Xander also has a gift for theatrical make-up, and can transform into anyone for any reason? Have you wondered if those paintings on his Instagram are his? His right-minded creativity is beyond par. He sculpts and paints tactilely, embracing his work as he goes.  If this acting thing doesn't take off, he is headed directly to museums.  Aunty chatted with this awe-inspiring man, who loves his work, his art, and certainly his beautiful family so much, it's a joy speaking with him about any of these.

Last year we were introduced to a smart, funny, and downright innovative feminist filmmaker, Craig Ouellette, during his festival run of his feature film Straight On Till Morning.  A love story wrapped in a horror story, this film has sparked a lot of award wins in those festivals. Two reasons for his good fortune? The stars, Kelsey Christian and Bonnie Jean Tyer join Craig in this visit with Aunty as she discusses the powerful acting, the positive affect of horror on people and oh- a new bride to be!
