It’s the Pride Episode featuring Comedian Corina Lucas, Q Center’s Cameron Whitten, Gresham City Councilor Eddy Morales, Musician Joaquin Lopez! The sound cut out for 10 minutes of my interview with Corina Lucas - those who were at the show enjoyed a secret 10 minutes that you don’t get. Sorry! You’ll just need to go see her at a live show sometime soon. She just performed on the wing of a plane this past weekend! Recorded live June 9th at the Slide Inn at 24th and SE Ankeny in Portland. The audio is a little high and low in volume - you may need to adjust accordingly.

What a dream this show was! Now, I cut the game show out from the show as my mic was crackly and didn’t sound great. The conversation I had with Jo Ann Hardesty was one of the most amazing evenings of my life. Nathan Hart is fantastic and hilarious - follow him at @starvinghartist everywhere. And Laura Ivancie - what an original gem and the songs she plays at the end of the show complete a super delightful evening. Recorded live at the Jade Lounge at 24th and SE Ankeny on April 14th, 2019.

A comedian, an activist, and a musician walk into a bar. They grab microphones and together we attempt to change the world. Well, at least give you something to laugh at, something to move to, and something to get you amped up to help change your world.
