Happy quarantine! Billy Ciprian is currently one half of the rock duo Skitter and lead singer of the Vacancies. Both bands are on Blackheart Records, which is Joan Jett’s record label. His story is quite a rollercoaster!

Today we have been graced by the lovely and talented Fern Enley, one of the busiest artists in Cleveland. Both of her two bands, Mopi Dykk and FREAKwents, performed at this year’s Ingenuity Fest, she headlined Lottery League with Is This Art?, and she’s in high demand for recording sessions and photo shoots all over the city.

Jesse Sloan is the frontman of Curtail, a fantastic Akron-based indie-rock outfit. We talk about their album "All Your Luck" and what we think the differences are between playing in a rock band as a depressed 20 year old versus playing in a rock band as a depressed 30 year old.

Cam Campana was the roommate of the boyfriend of Casey Anthony when the disappearance of her daughter Caylee took place, and he was subsequently sucked into the media frenzy surrounding what Time magazine called "the social media trial of the century." Don't miss this episode.

Closing music: "708 Sutton Place" by Fawx (https://fawx.bandcamp.com)

John Skrtic is the Director of Public Services at the Cleveland Public Library and a sort of digital curator of Cleveland photographic history on social media. We talked about the figurative ghosts of Cleveland’s past, present, and future, which was a real treat for a history nerd like me - and it will be for you too if you’re a fan of Cleveland history!

Closing music: 'Come Around' by Curtail (https://curtail.bandcamp.com/releases)

This literal banger of an episode is hosted by Jason Dunlap, who talks with "Andy" (he asked us to withhold his name). "Andy" was an award-winning gay porn star in the 90s, and he was kind enough to share some of his favorite stories from the world of gay porn. Then he and Jason role-play an improvised sex scene. Don't miss it.

On todays show, guest-host India Pierre-Ingram explores the fine lines of comedy with comedian and humor-theorist Cait Hogan. Luckily, we were able to get some time with her before she jetted off on a 16 day trip around Europe for shows, lectures at the University of Kent, and to be apart of the Alternative Comedy Now Festival and Conference. We dig into her life as a working comedian and how open mics can be a safe space for a comedian to the explore their craft.

For this special Halloween edition of the podcast, I visited the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick and spoke with Steve Intermill and Jillian Slane, the dynamic husband and wife duo who started the museum about a year and half ago. We’re getting into the holiday spirit with this interview and talking about the history of witchcraft in America; and the fascinating story of how a rare collection of supernatural paraphernalia that once belonged to the first American practitioner of Wicca made its way to Cleveland.

For today’s episode we went to see the man who brings you the news, Dan DeRoos. In case you aren’t familiar, Dan is a reporter for Cleveland 19, and he was kind enough to invite me downtown into the Channel 19 news studios and chat with me about the ins and outs of the astonishingly fast-paced world of TV news.
