Steve Cooper talks with actor/comic Erica Rhodes. Erica Rhodes started her entertainment career by voicing the conscience of legendary humorist and writer, Garrison Keillor on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion and has worked on that show ever since. In 2012, she also became a writer for the show when it toured Houston, NYC and San Francisco. She starred in the cult horror film Plague Town and recently wrapped a supporting role in Play Nice, directed by Rodman Flender and starring Mary Lynn Rajskub. She also starred in Big Sky, an indie road trip movie that followed a young couple's journey from L.A. to Montana. She co-created and starred in the award-winning web series Apt. 45, but is probably best known for the character of Sandy in Iron Sink Media's web series Upstairs Girls and her own hit spin-off Sandy's Channel. She produced and starred (with Ray Wise and Oscar nominee Sally Kirkland) in the short film Posey which premiered at the 2013 Idyllwild Cinema Fest and made the festival rounds, garnering many awards. She was also nominated by the 2015 Los Angeles Short Film Festival as "Best Actress" for her work in The Platinum Plan. Recent TV credits include Fox's New Girl, IFC's Comedy Bang Bang and Comedy Central's Why? With Hannibal Buress. She has also guested on The Howard Stern Wrap-up Show on Sirius XM after being named on his site as number one of the top nine comics to watch and has had appearances on AXS' Live at Gotham and the syndicated Comics Unleashed.
Steve Cooper talks with radio legend Phil Hendrie. Phil is a creative genius chock full of character, comedy and commentary. He is famous for concocting a cast of fictional characters, all of whom he plays on air while simultaneously serving as host of his national talk radio program, Hendrie actually started out as a disc jockey at WBJW 1440 AM in Winter Park, Fla., a suburb of Orlando. After 15 years working as a disc jockey at stations across the country, he moved to Los Angeles and debuted in talk radio as a weekend host at KFI-AM 640. His popularity resulted in his radio show going national in 1999. By 2006, he was ready to explore the next chapter of his career, acting. For the last ten years he has had roles in the Fox animated shows King of the Hill and Futurama. Other work includes Giants of Radio, The Replacements, Three Strikes, The Unit, Teachers, Semi-Pro and a recurring role on Fox's New Girl. Although he enjoyed acting on a full-time basis, he missed the daily creative outlet that radio provided. In 2007, he returned to national radio in the late evenings, but in the Spring of 2014 he finally severed his ties with radio and made the show available exclusively online via podcasts.
Along with creative partner Brett Baer, Dave Finkel has been a writer and/or producer on shows like 30 Rock, Just Shoot Me, Norm, The United States of Tara not to mention animated fare like Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain. They've also been part of Joey, the less-than-successful spinoff of the monster hit Friends, and they even spent their time as "Monkey Boys" Saturday mornings on ABC. Dave's path takes a winding route, from weird, experimental theatre, multiple college experiences, sketch comedy and radio bits to now one of the most popular and talked-about half-hour comedies on network TV as show-runner (along with Brett) for Fox's New Girl. Find out how Dave's singularly unique, dark, bizarro vision - through trial and error as well as the support of a more, er...grounded...partner - was made adaptable to the mainstream while still staying true to his bent for the surreal. A conversation that is definitely NSFW (or perhaps anywhere else, for that matter) but is raw, open, real, real funny and oh-so-dark; learn, laugh and cringe with the fabulously demented Dave Finkel. Follow Dave on Twitter (when he OCCASIONALLY gets around to actually Tweeting) @finkel_is_great and watch New Girl Tuesdays at 9pm/8pm Central on Fox-TV. -LM
