Episode 720 - Hollis Jo McCollum - Epic Dark Fantasy with Inspired Romantic SubplotsIn this lively author episode, Dave is joined by dark fantasy writer and podcaster Hollis Jo McCollum for an unscripted, improv flavored conversation about creativity, connection and the realities of podcasting as an author. Hollis broadcasts from Suwanee, in the north metro Atlanta area, where she loves the local community, walking trails and especially the vibrant Korean cafes and markets that have become part of her daily rhythm. Her podcast is called “I Do What I Want!” which she describes as both a catchphrase and a mindset; she is not belligerent, but proudly stubborn about creating on her own terms, using improv skills instead of heavy editing and embracing a live, unedited format on YouTube and Spotify so listeners see the authentic process, cats and all.Throughout the conversation, Hollis traces how improv, drama club and “yes, and” thinking shaped her confidence and on mic presence, and she and Dave dig into the importance of being fully present in conversations. That leads to a thoughtful tangent on how phones and constant screen time are eroding social skills and problem solving in younger generations, illustrated by a story about a Gen Z teen who is anxious about a simple interaction asking for napkins and by Hollis's partner's candid street photography full of “nose to phone” subjects. Both hosts advocate for being more present, talking to actual humans, and deliberately stepping outside comfort zones as a path to growth, creativity and better podcasting.Hollis then shares the origin of “I Do What I Want!” which began as a single planned episode about the Dungeons and Dragons campaign that inspired her novel “To Save a World,” recorded with her best friend of over thirty years. Unsure how to start, she actually hired a production company to help her set up her mic, hosting and Spotify presence, and discovered she loved the format enough to keep going, mostly solo, with occasional author friends as relaxed guests. That experience taught her how critical scheduling is: she originally aimed for longer, twice monthly episodes but quickly learned that with a full time job, writing, marketing and life responsibilities, she needed a realistic rhythm. Now she anchors the show to one live episode on the last Sunday of each month, built on a simple half page outline with a few milestones, trusting that the format and voice will naturally evolve over time rather than being over planned from the start.The episode also touches on her voice acting work, where she leans into character voices like the insidious villain Simoom, and on her strong feelings about listeners speeding up audiobooks and performance heavy podcasts. For Hollis, pacing, pauses and breathing are integral to emotional impact, so compressing audio feels like stripping respect from the performer and story, even though she concedes some people prioritize efficiency. As the conversation closes, Hollis talks about why podcasting remains worthwhile even though she is not chasing huge download numbers; it gives readers and potential fans a way to discover her personality, ask questions and connect outside crowded conventions. https://www.hollisjomccollumauthor.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

In this week’s episode of Zone 7, more than three months after Nancy Guthrie vanished, Sheryl McCollum returns to the case with one central question: what does the evidence actually prove? From the masked suspect’s behavior on camera to the blood patterns at the front door and the complete absence of credible ransom activity, she argues that the scene shows signs of staging, not a financial motive, and makes the case that investigators may need to reset and start again from the ground up.

Matt McCollum is the co-founder and Head of Marketing at Drink Contento, a premium hemp-derived THC beverage brand launching in Texas. With degrees in Public Relations and Psychology from Texas Tech University, Matt cut his teeth in consumer packaged goods at the helm of Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce, a brand he was able to grow from a handful of local accounts to national and international distribution through scrappy guerrilla marketing and relationship building on a shoestring budget. He achieved this success all while spending nights and weekends behind a bar at the beach, slinging drinks and talking to every walk of life. Over 15 years behind the stick, he learned human behavior the way no textbook can teach it: watching people unwind, connect, and make decisions in real time. That foundation in behavioral psychology and lived experience has shaped how he thinks about brands and consumers.In recent years, Matt has also found himself on an unexpected but welcome spiritual journey, developing a relationship with God that has quietly shaped both the man and the mission behind the brand.

I hosted this episode of the State of the New York Knicks Podcast, talking with Knicks fans and pointing out what we're all seeing as the Knicks dropped Game 3 to the Hawks. I broke down how I saw Jalen Brunson lock up Dyson Daniels while also getting scored on in key moments by CJ McCollum, and I pointed out OG Anunoby's uneven defensive night where I watched him give up efficient looks to Jalen Johnson and Jonathan Kuminga but also clamp down on Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Daniels, and McCollum in other stretches. I also talked through what I saw from Karl-Anthony Towns, especially how he made things difficult for CJ and Jalen Johnson with no threes allowed, and I gave my take on what all of this means for the Knicks as we move forward in the series.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler close out the month of April on the Cash That Ticket podcast, airing on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, with a full breakdown of Thursday's NBA playoff slate and a sharp late MLB play. Coming off a five and one week and a productive month across the board, the guys come in focused and pick apart every angle on a loaded three-game NBA card before turning their attention to Kevin Gausman and Bailey Ober squaring off in a late Blue Jays-Twins matchup in Minnesota. The episode opens with a Wednesday night recap covering the Pistons-Magic game, where both Cade Cunningham and Paolo Banchero finished with 45 points in a high-scoring affair, and then pivots to the bigger story, which is the Houston Rockets beating the Los Angeles Lakers on the road in Game 5 without Kevin Durant. Jabari Smith Jr. led Houston with 22 points and seven rebounds while Dorian Finney-Smith turned in a dominant 18-point, 17-rebound performance to help send the series back to Los Angeles with the Rockets holding the edge. For the NBA slate, the guys dig into all three Game 6 matchups. In the Knicks-Hawks game, both Munaf and Dave land on the Atlanta team total over at 105.5 on DraftKings, citing the zigzag theory and CJ McCollum's strong bounce-back case after combining for just 23 points in Games 4 and 5 while going cold from three. Josh Hart's questionable status with a lower back contusion adds more reason to target McCollum over his points total as the top player prop of the evening. In the Celtics-76ers game, Dave targets the Philadelphia team total under, arguing Boston's defensive dominance and near-total statistical control of Game 5 outweighs Philly's one hot shooting night, while Munaf backs the Sixers plus six and a half on the side and points to Joel Embiid's 33-point, 39-minute Game 5 performance as evidence the big man is fully healthy and in command. Dave's player prop is Embiid's combined points, rebounds, and assists over 41 at DraftKings, which Embiid has already cleared in both series games. In the Nuggets-Timberwolves game, Dave offers three angles, including Minnesota in the first half as a live home underdog, the game under 224.5, and Denver minus 150 to win the series rather than the individual game, while Munaf co-signs the under and targets Nikola Jokic's rebounds and assists over 24.5 as a prop rooted in pace, playmaking, and the Timberwolves' depleted front court. Both hosts agree that Spencer Jones and Cam Johnson combining for 38 points in Game 5 on the road is not a reasonable expectation. On the MLB side, Dave's best bet is Bailey Ober recording over 17.5 outs against Toronto, supported by three straight six-inning starts, a career-low 83-pitch effort against Tampa Bay, and Blue Jays hitters batting just .191 against him on the season. Munaf's best bet is Jamal Murray's combined points and assists over 33.5 at minus 107 on DraftKings, a volume play built on Murray's season-long usage and the Nuggets' need for him to shoulder the offensive load in a must-win road game.

In this week’s episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum talks to Court TV correspondent Matt Johnson about what it takes to cover high-profile criminal cases and trials, from the Lori Vallow Daybell case and Rex Heuermann to Karen Read and the Delphi murders. Matt explains how deadlines, jury reactions, and the pressure of live television shape the way he turns hours of courtroom testimony into clear, accessible coverage.
