NO STAR POWER with Ben Ball episodes

  • Episode 7 - The Religious Kid

    I keep this one short and sweet, gang! I talk rap music releases as well as a very cringey high school experience that I still cringe about to this day! Often while I'm trying to fall asleep!

    The story: When I pitched my web series, Anxiety Boys (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhfAzSf7VBqOKmyPQF-BF9tLA_U-SCjNT) to networks, I was super psyched to get some sexy responses from the executives we were pitching to. But after sending to 11 different folks, we got zero mother effing follow-up meetings. It was chalked up to being due to the show having 'no star power', which means that it doesn't have any celebrities in it. So we just threw it up on YouTube for free instead. After telling this story to a close friend's mother, she suggested my next project use that term as its title, which I thought was really funny. So that's the name of this podcast now. And so and yeah. And so and that's the story aha.

  • Episode 3 - I'm in a Cardigan

    Synchronized swimming sucks and divorces are inaccurate in TV shows. Also religions are just successful cults. And that's just how I feel!

  • Episode 1 - You're a Joke

    When I pitched my web series, Anxiety Boys (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhfAzSf7VBqOKmyPQF-BF9tLA_U-SCjNT), I was super psyched to get some sexy responses from the executives we were pitching to. But after sending to 11 different folks, we got zero mother effing follow-up meetings. It was chalked up to being due to the show having 'no star power', which means that it's lacking the presence of movie stars. So we just threw it up on YouTube for free instead. After telling this story to a close friend's mother, she suggested my next project use that term as its title, which I thought was really funny. So that's the name of this podcast now. And so and yeah. And so and that's the story aha.   I'm gonna release one of these a week because they're easy and fun to do, so keep your nasty eyelids peeled.
