MaDCap

MaDCap DC turns 10. Well, not really. We made it through 10 episodes without the powers that be asking us to kindly leave the building. Our guest was the fine and mighty Gabe Silverman, multimedia journalist and global legend. We talk journalism, and cuisine.

MaDCap DC had a lovely conversation about film and the arts with Patrick Taylor and John Hibey, owners of D Dot films - a film house based in Washington, D.C. Hibey recently cowrote and produced "Fishing Without Nets" a short about Somali pirates directed by Cutter Hodierne. This film earned them the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. They've recently teamed up with Vice to shoot the feature. Patrick Taylor provided the original score. Also, special guest Alister Kennedy graces us with his presence.

This is a clip from an old interview that we never released. It was never released mainly because there was no engineer, just David Ross talking to The Reverend with a cheap mic from Radio Shack hooked up to his laptop. Out of a 20 minute long interview, this is the one question we wanted to ask most.

MaDCap DC phones Los Angeles to speak with Darlene Hunt, creator and executive producer of "The Big C" on Showtime.

Also talk to broadcaster/comedienne/showstopper/panty dropper Molly Martinez about her powerful comedic performance at Dan's synagogue, and we also discuss appropriate jokes when anchoring the news.

Also had live music performed by Skye Handler and Aaron Butler.

MaDCap DC skypes writer Emily Matchar as she just wakes up in Hong Kong and bothers her about the topic of "New Domesticity." Matchar is also writing a book about New Domesticity which is to be published by Simon and Schuster's Free Press in 2013.

MaDCap DC had their first live music episode with Curtis Ostle and Jonathan Parker of the Ostle/Parker Quintet. We had a jazzy conversation about the music scene in Shanghai and what lies next for these extremely talented musicians. Also, we learn a bit about what not to bring on an airplane.

Part 2 of this episode with writer Emily Matchar will be uploaded shortly.

The Prince of Petworth Blog created by Dan Silverman is the Washington, D.C. blog. Others cannot touch it. Try finding an apartment in D.C. without having to consult his blog. Seriously, try. We had Dan in studio to have an unfiltered conversation about the evolution of the blog and about some of the hidden gems in Washington, D.C.

We also had Ghanaian-American John Asante from NPR’s Talk of the Nation in studio to talk about his first trip to Ghana. Mr. Asante has an amazing story and is a tremendously upstanding individual. Plus he rocks cool glasses. His powerful trip to Ghana was also a featured piece on NPR’s Tell Me More.

MaDCap DC phones New Zealand to talk with filmmaker David White about his latest film, “I Kill,” a short about death. Also had the pleasure of speaking with one of a kind artist Ryan Martinez, creator of the Domer Art Collective. Mr. Martinez too imparts his wisdom.

It’s a treat.

In part 2 of MaDCap DC's conversation with Alyona Minkovski, we explain to her that one of her long believed theories is false, dive into a talk about hip hop and who the best rapper alive really is, and also search for better slang for the popular word and destination, "vagina."

MaDCap DC had a lovely conversation with Alyona Minkovski, host of "The Alyona Show" which is broadcast by RT at 6 and 9pm EST. It was a soul-bearing conversation. This is part one.
