Planet Shivers

Your favorite grassroots guerrilla podcast is BACK!
My buddy James Stokes takes the reins on this roundtable episode of The Planet Shivers  podcast to chat South African travels with Pod-Brother Isaac, Sam, as well as native South African, Jastine. We cover airports, seeing the sights, culture, and most importantly food.
Available on all major podcast platforms and Youtube!

On this brand new episode of the Planet Shivers podcast, I am joined by Allegra Deneroff; Producer and Costume Designer for the upcoming short film, ‘The Fabulous Flocks’. Along with her husband, Jeff Kaminski, who wrote and also is directing the film, Allegra is helping to keep NASCAR’s first family of speed alive!

Bob, Tim, Fonty, and Ethel Flock were among the pioneers behind the wheel of what is now a major motor sport. From the local dirt tracks of Georgia, to the sands of Daytona Beach, the Flocks lead NASCAR history through the 1950s, contributing both locally and nationally. 

Allegra comes on the podcast to cover all that, as well as the process of creating The Fabulous Flocks with casting, costumes, and endless learning and research. 

Beyond the racing, this film shares so much rich American history, and you don’t have to enjoy racing to listen to this podcast or follow this film. However, I bet you’ll have more appreciation for these cars and drivers once you’re through!

When I found this film’s social media pages (link in comments) I was excited for this project. After having this conversation with Allegra, I am all the more excited.

Racing, history, and the arts…That’s all I need!

Fun and compelling storyteller, Boomer Ray, takes us back to 1976 to describe growing up with music, and the experience of his first Frank Zappa concert at the Palladium (while tripping) in New York City, as well as everything that led up to it; including a small car and a never ending tunnel.

The concert he seen and experienced went on to be used on the album "Zappa In New York"

Photographer and musician, Kristi Dennis, is my guest on this compelling episode of the Planet Shivers podcast.

After I give a peculiar off-the-cuff monologue, Kristi and I talk about her interest in photography, live music photography, and finding her own styles of taking pictures. 

Then Kristi and I talk music, a little jazz history, and Kristi’s own musicianship. 

Cap that all of with some history of photography, and you get a fun episode that I enjoyed creating. It was enjoyable to chat with Kristi, and I think you’ll honestly enjoy this episode also! So listen!

Planet Shivers - Ep.110: NASCAR 2023 Review

On this episode of the rag-tag Planet Shivers Podcast, I will be talking to you about the 2023 NASCAR season, and some of its highlights. I’ll talk up the new champion, Ryan Blaney, go through a short list of my favorite events of the season, as well as cover a long-time favorite driver, Kevin Harvick, retiring from the sport this year.
After all that excitement, I want to tell you about some NASCAR videos (links below) you should check out this off-season; including Richard Petty, his family, lumpy car roofs, and shoeing the media away with a broom!
It was tough to cover everything in less than a half hour, but we’re going to bring in some other experts and continue in another episode, so keep and eye out!
This episode is dedicated to late Ken Squier, NASCAR pioneer and commenter, who recently passed away.
Available on all major podcast platforms and Youtube!
