Janine Oda is an actor, host, and friend, who in this moment is navigating her tendency to say "yes" to everything as well as publicly representing her faith in a community that's not always as accepting of it. She also has a loving boyfriend of 15 years, and you know what - she IS tired of people asking her if she’s getting married. She almost didn’t want to do my podcast because she was sick of talking about it. But, what resists persists, and we luckily got her on the show to get a little vulnerable. Thank you so much for listening.

On a slightly different episode of the podcast, animation writer and longtime friend Amalia Levari, tells a wonderfully non-spooky ghost story, AND takes the opportunity to ask a question that no one has posed to Brad yet. Why is he doing this show and why isn’t it...funny? Together, the look at Brad's recent spiritual pivot, plus how she deals with wanting to fix everyone’s problems, and why she’s rooting for the survival of humanity. Thank you for listening.

Performer, artist, and one of the stars of Disney’s upcoming live-action “Mulan”, Chen Tang is here to speak his truth.

Jenny Lorenzo is a hard worker, totally hilarious, and thoroughly filled with anxiety. And she’s not shy about it. Whether it’s her Cuban upbringing in Miami, the drive to support the people around her, or the unending call to feed the content machines of the internet - Jenny is always on the grind. But is work all there is? And how does she handle the pressures of being an internet personality? Thank you for listening to this podcast. Genuinely.

Shaun Brown and Brad are old friends. They've worked together, drank together, and lived together. Today, they spent some time together talking about the important stuff - the brutality of the animal kingdom as seen through instagram videos, true love, and the challenge of being a sensitive guy in the modern age. Thank you for listening!

Comedian, actor and writer Beth Rowe is getting married. Well, was about to get married when we recorded this. She’s since then actually done it (congrats Beth) but here she talks about the anxieties, the politics and the utter joy of committing to her life with her best friend. We also talked about how living near Columbine High School affected her view on guns, and how her version of meditation is getting her nails done. We balance the dark with the light here on Real Feels...

Comedian Ricky Carmona is grateful for many things - including getting to write jokes for a TV show after learning how to speak English watching TV shows. He talks about doing standup in Chicago before moving to LA in his mid-30’s, which he admits is not the usual story. We caught him in a good spot! Sending a genuine THANK YOU for listening.

Ted talks about feeling activated - finding a cause and putting energy towards it. Whether it be his collaborative filmmaking, his feminine energy or political campaigns. He drops the simple, yet welcome reminder about how “knowing more” in politics isn’t as helpful as “doing things”.  Thanks for listening!
