September 15, 2025 Ep. 47 – Performing for Older Audiences
This past summer (2025), I had the opportunity to perform my one-person show Robert’s Eternal Goldfish at a few assisted living facilities for older audiences. This is how it went and what I learned.

February 23, 2025 Ep. 46 – Thoughts on The Return – Pt. 2
This is the second part of my review of the 2024 movie The Return, a stripped-down, grounded retelling of the last third of Homer’s Odyssey. In this second part of the review I talk about the supporting cast, the pacing of the movie and how a lot of the criticism (especially on YouTube and movie blogs) has missed the point of the film.

February 05, 2025 Ep. 45 – Thoughts on The Return – pt. 1
My review of the 2024 movie The Return, a stripped-down, grounded retelling of the last third of Homer’s Odyssey. In this first part of the review I talk about the source material, the mature, human-centered approach the director took and the performances by the main actors: Ralph Fiennes (as Odysseus), Juliette Binoche (as Penelope) and Charlie Plummer (as Telemachus).

December 12, 2024 Ep. 44 – One Hundred J. Herbin Comics
In early 2023, I created an experimental webcomic called The Ongoing Saga of J. Herbin. Recently, I posted the one hundredth comic online. I take a moment to reflect on this accomplishment.

November 10, 2024 Ep. 43 – Over-Sharing and Making Things
For a long time, I have had a hang-up about over-sharing. In this age of putting things out there on the over-crowded blackhole that is the internet, sharing aspects of the artist, well beyond the actual finished artworks, is somewhat expected. In this episode, I talk it out. I have been working to reframe some of this stuff, so I don’t… you know… wallow in obscurity for the rest of my life.

I recently released a book aimed at emerging solo performers putting together an original one-person theatre production. It is called Crafting the Solo Show. In this episode, I read the preface. It explains who I am and why I set out to write the book.

May 19, 2023Ep. 38 – I Built A Playwright Website
A few factors over the past several months have prompted me to get my act together career-wise as a playwright. Part of that process has been the creation of a new website.
The fellow that runs the Playwright’s Spotlight is James Elden (I couldn’t remember while recording the podcast)

January 17, 2023Ep. 37 – David Hopkins Pt. 2
In this episode I continue my talk with my indie fantasy author David Hopkins. In this episode we talk about David buckling down and committing to fantasy fiction. We cover a bunch of stuff: David’s experience with Patreon, working with his team of collaborators, how his wife April is essential in offering feedback, how he has learned about his “target audience,” why he doesn’t do book trailers, crafting well-rounded characters, the upcoming release of his 700-word (plus) novel The Dryad’s Crown and a lot more. This is the second and final part of our two-part conversation.
