July 22, 2026Ep. 48 – LOST EPISODE The Influence of Wes Anderson
So, it seems Cultivated Playwright Podcast Episode 39 just sort of disappeared on the internet. So, here is a repost of that “lost” episode…
Filmmaker Wes Anderson plays in a pretty specific sandbox. He has a very idiosyncratic tone, style, ensemble of characters and recurring themes. His work has had a distinct influence on me as a narrative artist. On the eve of his film, Asteroid City, I discuss his work as inspiration.

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.

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)
