☎️ Actor, Writer, and Producer Kenyon L. O’Brien dials in this week.

First we reminisce on Woody’s and the early 2000’s Philly party scene and how much the social scene has evolved.

For the interview, Kenyon talks about how we got to the Talks With Myself series which is a spin off of a spin off. Finding Me led to the Triangle Web Series, which was created to spotlight members of the ballroom community. In this series Kenyon plays Brandon- a character he wasn’t initially connected to but would later grown to love. Following Finding Me and TWS the creator Roger Omeus, Jr. wanted to create a series that brought back some of the supporting characters. So the Deka Log Chapters was his inspiration. Talks with Myself was chapter one. After we unpack some of the heavier themes from season 3, Kenyon closes with how the ballroom community has impacted his life.
