Chris Collins Show

After 25 years of existence, my little brother Kelley and I travel outside the country for the first time. Did you know it’s nearly impossible to find a trash can in the streets of Tokyo? Do you think your pilot should speak internationally? Have you ever wondered how to get stuck on Disneyland’s Space Mountain? Oh...how I dream to go back to Japan!  

Punk legend drummer Chris Dalley from Authority Zero (also known for his work in Pulley, Implants, and Death By Stereo) calls into 22West Radio on 88.1FM HD-3 to discuss the band’s first self-released studio album, Persona Non Grata.  Is there a difference between North American fans vs European fans?  Is rock n’ roll a dying artform? Check out drummer Chris Dalley’s new album below! 

Enough is enough! It’s time for our generation to speak up and address the issues that has put a dark cloud over 2018.  Opioids are NOW the number one cause of death in the United States and are continuing to rise to this day.  Director of Sacramento Sober Living Homes and Author of From Judas To Me, Anthony Sparzo calls into the studio to expand the conversation of the dangers among the use of prescription drugs. “What is being lost in this fight is—LIFE! What is the solution?” 

Comedy is the best source of medicine and when Marcus Hawkins comes around – you know it’s a GREAT time! Hawkins sits down in the studio at 22West radio to discuss his upcoming shows at the Ice House in Pasadena to Laugh Factory’s Chocolate Sundae.  Also, we discuss the use of strict cellphone policies at comedy shows and whether it’s cool for comedians to recycle old jokes. Is there nothing untouchable in comedy? 

Jazz Singer Maria Schafer known for her on-airtime with KJAZZ’s 88.1FM and winner of Outstanding Soloist at Reno Jazz Festival showcases her brand-new album, To Know Love... out on major digital outlets. Schafer sits down in the studio with sidekick Marissa Pitts and I to explore the upcoming Jazz musicians today that have made her what she has become today. 

ERIKA HARLACHER - Voice Actress, The Seven Deadly Sins

What’s deadlier than having Chris and Marissa host a show?! Inviting Voice Actress Erika Harlacher from The Seven Deadly Sins to join the chaos!

It’s Thanksgiving and I don’t cook! Marissa doesn’t cook! Well, I do a mean Hot Pocket — one minute 30 in the microwave, done. But that doesn’t cut it for the bird. We need a chef! Thankfully, Chef Asencio comes on air to talk about his nontraditional Thanksgiving, complete with Red Neck Turkey. How does that compare to Friendsgiving? Plus, he joins in to play Turkey Trivia — did you know, only the male gobbles?

Yeah there's lots of cool horror movies, but none have the raw authenticity of The Blair Witch Project. Still an audience shocker, this cult classic’s executive producer, Kevin, lets us in on its backstory. Hear about the unorthodox screenplay, military on the set, actors disappearing — and more!

 *!&^@*! how can the pain of getting a tattoo compare to taking one off? Find out as we chat with Jacob, producer of D’Inked, winner, Best Documentary, 2018 Hollywood Independent Filmmaker Awards & Festival. Hmmm…me get a tattoo? Hmmm...

Also, Marissa Pitts joins the show as my official sidekick! Watch out Howard, you may have Robin but I’ve got Marissa — game ON!

My inaugural guest on the show is up-and-coming recording artist, Justin Delgado aka MyCalvinMusic. He didn’t recognize his talent until his late teens, but since then this multi-faceted musician has grooved in every genre. Not like the normal Synth Lord you come across every day in the galaxy, young padawan, check in to hear his iconic song Addicted to You and you’ll get why he doesn’t plan on stopping until he reaches the top!
