Let's get uncomfortable.

A perfect subject for making us all feel uncomfortable, Director/Producer J.P. Riley and Producer/Actor Katie Hall join me to discuss the ins and outs of their full length feature Act Naturally. They filmed it... get this... naked. Okay, okay, it was because the film is kind of about two sisters that inherit a nudist resort, but STILL! Filming on a real nudist resort was a wild ride for all involved and I got down to the bottom (pun intended) of it all. Enjoy with clothes off (optional).

New age storytelling is all about having mulitple media sources to gain our attention. The catch word of the decade is transmedia, but how many platforms is too much? Jordon Sorenson co-hosts as we bring on guest Peter Wylie, formerly with the Natural History Museum, to describe the inventive dinosaur puppets at the museum bringing a performance element to history and science education. How does having more outlets change our experience of stories? Books vs. movies, Dr. Suess roller coasters, imagination vs. passive absorption. Every generation is privy to new platforms that work together to give us more. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it more exciting or too much?

Co-host Boone Platt joins me as we bring on author/advocate/veteran/actor Mike Dowling to shed light on the issue that many hard working Americans take pride in- having zillions of jobs. We uncover which jobs make us grow as people, which make us happiest and which just suck balls... and why. Is money the answer?

I bring on some recently converted Paleo eating people to discuss the newest clean eating craze to hit: The Paleo Diet. What is it? How strict is it? What are the benefits and do they outweigh the ever increasing negativity surrounding the 'picky' eaters in Los Angeles? Spoiler alert- I kind of eat this way now.

We rounded up a feisty cohort of mostly single young people in LA and I let them tear each other to pieces. Or something like that. Is dating in LA really that hard? What is it about LA and the entertainment industry that daters find so complicated? And how does someone maintain a stable relationship in all that crazy?

I have a little one on one chat with you about my concerns related to body image. Mine. Yours. The media's. I'm a nerd about the theory of evolution by natural selection and that whole 'survival of the fittest' idea. Why are we constantly unsatisfied (particularly us women) by our body image? Who determines what we're trying to achieve? WHY do we need to achieve it? What is perfection anyway?

A rowdy bunch of East Coast turned West Coast boys join me and Southern California native Zach Baz to discuss the epic coastal debate: East Vs. West. Which is better and how do the stereotypes compare?

In true motorcycle dude form, I picked up the third guest for this show while he was hanging outside on his bike minutes before airing. After all, what kind of biker show would this be if there wasn't a little risk involved? I really wanted to solve the age old badass question- does having a motorcycle increase a dude's cool factor?

Sarah Curtis won Jeopardy. She knows a thing or two. I dig in about the show, her experience and some issues that might change your mind about these so called 'winners' on Jeopardy. Are they exceptionally smart? Or are they exceptionally smart AND dexterous?

It's a popular subject for a good reason. Being an actor is damn hard. Why hide it? Almost always starting from humble beginnings, each actor's story echos familiar tones of legends past... the rebellious decision, the inspiring performances, the move to LA, the slow climb towards top tier agent heaven. My friend and working actor Reed Willard tells us what stereotypical actor stories he falls into... or not.

Guest Dan Clor, president of Strength in Numbers Entertainment, talks about his latest show called Warrior Fest which provokes the question- what is this cosmic connection between the Military stereotype and Metal Heads? Is it real? How does it happen? Dan enlightens me as to his journey with the military and his musicianship choices.

A few of my very favorite non-white people join me to discuss exactly that- their non-whiteness. We go for the full racist questionnaire. How do you identify yourself first? Which Asian stereotypes do you and/or your family fit into? Do you celebrate your Asian-y-ness or ignore it? If you or someone you know suffers from any Asian stereotype afflictions, this is a must listen.

The follow up to our Asians in America show- As if discovering Conrad's Asian-y-ness wasn't enough, I decided to give him a hard time about being Canadian too. Plus I bring on a comedy pro- the very, very funny (in a Canadian way) Lachlan Patterson with his surprise friend Jessie to discuss what we stupid Americans are missing- aside from peace and health care and all that crap.

Long ago, I befriended a tall, handsome boy in high school. Years later, he re-befriended me during his deployment in the middle of Afghanistan via facebook (thank you, technology). We started up a conversation that day which has continued through online pen pal-ing for years now. Officer Nate joins us for insight on the military stereotype- what's true, what's not and why those guys may have to be that way to do their job.

The last interview of 2012 featured director Nick Acosta and actors Emily Sandifer & TJ Dalrymple- the stars of a seductive little fan film based on the best selling novel 50 Shades of Grey. Just another trashy romance, you say? Decide for yourself. Nick spilled his guts on the juicy stuff and got to the bottom of why he chose to attack such a controversial and sexual subject.​
