Got plans for November 10-14? After this podcast you will! Jeremy Johnston of Atomic Balloons in La Vegas is in the Jam Room to tell us all about the newly rebranded FAVE. Formerly the long-running Western Region Clown Association event, now known as Family And Variety Entertainers Convention, FAVE literally has it ALL. Get all […]

She’s here y’all! Stephanie Morace is not just a fantastic balloon designer and instructor, she has a great approach to securing long term restaurant work, and has decor advice to boot! A delightful interview where the guest actually does most of the talking! – If the Jam Room has been of benefit to you, please […]

If this is the first you are hearing of the Balloon Brothers, thank me later. If you’ve seen their work, congrats for being an early adopter! I believe these cats are going places. Their approach to engineering and balloons is top shelf, and there is a twist in the typical “origin story” I think you’ll […]

Justin Reams is not just a top designer for twisting balloons, he has become quite the resource for getting into decor as well. Fresh off his first teaching gig at Twist and Shout, he is in the Jam Room for a very informative conversation about all things balloon. Check out Justin’s available tutorials at The […]

Retirement didn’t last long, I’m back at the microphone with a new season of episodes of the Jam Room! My first guest in Jam Room 3.0 is someone I just had to talk to, and I am glad to share that conversation with you. If you don’t know him yet, you can thank me later […]

It’s time to close up shop on this project. If you’ve been a long time listener, I’ll let you know why it’s over and why I’m considering this whole thing a success. Thanks for the memories folks! I’m still kicking and still twisting, just laying down the podcasting.  

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. The show is back, with possibly our first call to action. Worldwide, bans on balloon releases are starting to become total balloon bans. How can and should our industry reply? A very informed and helpful guest is in the Jam room today, Chrystal Crain of All American […]

This is a repost of my Feb 2017 interview with Deb Fellman, as we were just about to go to Twist and Shout. A year later, Deb was leading her last large sculpture build with many friends from the balloon community. Thank you for everything Deb. Green dogs forever. Here is Julie Zauzmer’s wonderful Washington […]

  You ever get that feeling that you’ve seen everything that can be done with balloons? How even the great sculptures look like something you could reverse engineer with enough time? Hopefully you never get jaded as an artist, like you’ve seen it all, but in case you ever do, we have the solution. Pallotaide.com […]

What can’t Dennis Scott do? He’s been Top Twister at T&S, he’s led a team at World Balloon, he’s taught for Qualatex, and now he’s a serious decorator too. This is a long-overdue conversation in the Jam Room. The intro is all about Twist and Shout, and I do have to address one bit of […]
