Episode Two of The Nevermore Podcast features Dani Ward, former K–12 special education teacher, college instructor, business owner, and animal advocate. Dani shares her story from the beginning, including her years in special education, earning a master’s degree in autism, becoming co-owner of EP Barks & Rec, and the work she continues to do for dogs and rescue organizations. It’s a conversation about education, compassion, advocacy, and the experiences that shaped who she became.

The Nevermore Podcast goes beyond the usual interview. Hosted by Paul Allen Ward at Nevermore Records, each episode starts at the beginning and follows the moments, failures, risks, relationships and turning points that shaped the person behind the work. Musicians, artists, filmmakers, comedians, business owners and other people share how they became who they are. This isn’t just about what someone is doing now. It’s about the story that got them there.

This week on the Half & Half Music Podcast, we sit down with a creator whose journey started with weekly comic books and grew into a career spanning comics, film, television, and games. From early inspiration shaped by a lifelong love of storytelling to working on major productions like Better Call Saul, Logan, and projects connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this conversation dives into what it really takes to build a career across multiple creative worlds.

We also talk about his upcoming event onApril 18th and 19th in Albuquerque, NM; the the 4th Annual Southwest Comic Book and Creator Showcase, and what people can expect from it.

If you’re into comics, filmmaking, or just hearing how someone turns early passion into a full creative career, this is one you’ll want to check out.

The Half & Half Music Podcast is back with Eddie and Pepe from KYNG; but this isn’t your typical band interview. Paul and Pepe dive into their newest collaboration, the Apple Tree Creative Center, a nonprofit dedicated to giving local youth access to music and the arts. Together with Eddie, they talk about creativity, purpose, and how the meaning of music evolves when it’s used to build community.

It’s an honest, off-the-cuff conversation that blends friendship, reflection, and plenty of laughs while looking ahead to the first Apple Tree fundraiser, where KYNG will headline in El Paso, TX on November 8th and hosted by Metal Ambassador Jose Mangin.
