“We're all salespeople at the end of the day.”Whether you're pitching a movie, an idea, or yourself, persuasion is about more than the story you're telling—it's also about the story your audience sees for themselves. For Deadpool and Zombieland screenwriter Rhett Reese, that means keeping communication concise, compelling, and centered on what your audience needs. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Reese joins Matt Abrahams to share lessons from screenwriting that apply far beyond Hollywood. From cutting unnecessary words to crafting pitches that make your audience the protagonist, he explores how storytelling, collaboration, and clarity can make any message more persuasive.Takeaways:Every pitch tells two stories. You're selling the idea itself, but you're also showing your audience how saying yes can solve their problem, reduce their risk, and lead to their success.Brevity makes your message stronger. Cutting unnecessary words and choosing them carefully helps your ideas land with greater clarity, impact, and memorability.Activity:Tell the second story. Take a pitch you're currently working on and write one sentence describing the idea you're selling. Then write a second sentence from your audience's perspective: “If I say yes, what becomes possible for me?” Use that second story to reshape your pitch around their success, not just your idea.Printable Expanded Takeaways & ActivitiesEpisode Reference Links:Rhett ReeseEp.167 Hollywood Lessons For Successful Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:18) - Make Every Word Count (03:09) - How to Pitch an Idea (07:38) - Creatively Collaborating (10:35) - Creating Space for Feedback (12:49) - AI & the Future of Hollywood (16:44) - The Final Three Questions (23:15) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.

Cartoonist Fran Sundblad, creator of Tiff & Eve, joins Brad for a wide-ranging conversation about creating character-driven comics, finding an audience on Reddit, and learning when not to chase the algorithm. Fran traces Tiff & Eve from its beginnings in her sketchbook to a comic that regularly reaches thousands of readers. She explains how Tiff and Eve represent two very different impulses — Tiff as the superego and Eve as the id — and shares a terrific character-development exercise: Lock your character in a room and ask what they do next. If you don't know the answer, you probably don't know the character well enough yet. Fran and Brad also talk about finding humor in the characters themselves rather than building every strip around a traditional punchline. That approach has helped Tiff & Eve explore Fran's experiences as a trans woman while remaining first and foremost a funny comic about two friends. In this episode: How Tiff & Eve grew out of Fran's sketchbook Writing two characters as opposing parts of your own personality Fran's “locked room” test for determining whether a character is fully developed Character-driven humor vs. setup/punchline comedy Using comedy to make personal experiences relatable What happens when readers interpret your comics differently than you intended Why Fran refuses to explain a joke Surviving hostile comments, Reddit Cares abuse, and the stranger side of online audiences Why cartoonists should post comics to their Reddit profile, not only to individual subreddits Learning the culture of each subreddit instead of treating Reddit as one giant audience Formatting comics differently for different communities — including designing images so Reddit's mobile crop doesn't hide important information Why fewer clicks usually means more readers The danger of chasing trends, politics, and viral Reddit “meta” events simply for upvotes Why a huge viral hit may produce surprisingly few new followers or Patreon supporters Why effort and artistic complexity don't necessarily translate into social-media success The value of clarity, brevity, and consistency on Reddit Knowing when a topical comic is nevertheless necessary because it's true to the characters Sunday Comix, a webcomic collective and email newsletter designed to help cartoonists reach readers without depending entirely on social-media algorithms Fran's experience offers an especially useful reminder for cartoonists trying to build an audience online: don't confuse attention with audience growth. A trendy comic might earn tens of thousands of upvotes, but the work that builds a lasting readership is the work that gives people a reason to come back for your characters.

The Mountain Music Festival 2026 is almost here, and this week we're breaking out the map, studying the schedule, and figuring out exactly how we're going to tackle three days of rock and roll in Gatlinburg! In this episode, Chris and Aaron map out The Mountain, running through the entire three-day festival schedule and sharing the bands and performances we're most looking forward to seeing. With multiple stages running throughout the weekend, there are plenty of tough decisions to make. We break down the biggest overlaps, which acts are playing more than once, and how those second sets might help us avoid sacrificing one band for another. We also discuss Punchlines and Backlines, the comedy shows taking place on multiple nights during festival week featuring comedians and familiar faces from the rock world. Between the bands, comedy, clinics, late-night activities, and everything else happening around the event, there's going to be a lot to keep up with. And we're not just coming to watch. Decibel Geek will be roaming The Mountain all weekend recording video and audio, talking with fans, capturing some man-on-the-street insanity, and gathering plenty of material to bring back to the show and our social channels. Whether you're joining us in Gatlinburg or following along from home, this episode is your preview of what promises to be a very busy weekend. Who are the must-see bands? Where are the toughest schedule conflicts? And exactly how much rock and roll can two aging podcasters cram into three days? We're about to find out.

Comment le fait de raconter son histoire peut-il devenir une manière de s'accompagner, de se réapproprier sa voix… et sa dignité ?Dans cette table ronde enregistrée lors du Punchlines Festival 2, Mazza (militant, travailleur associatif formé aux pratiques narratives) et Elsa Couteiller explorent la puissance intime, politique et profondément humaine du récit de soi comme acte d'accompagnement.À travers son propre parcours autour des diagnostics d'autisme et de TDAH - un chemin fait d'attentes, de doutes, de déceptions, mais aussi de soulagements et de rencontres - Mazza raconte comment le fait de mettre son histoire en mots a transformé son regard sur lui-même.Au cœur de ce processus, il a enregistré un récit audio : une trace vivante de ce qu'il traversait. Un récit d'abord intime, devenu peu à peu un outil de soin, de transmission et d'émancipation. Une manière de se réapproprier son histoire, de retrouver sa dignité et d'ouvrir des chemins pour d'autres.À partir de cette expérience, cette conversation interroge ce que le récit peut rendre possible :-> Se réapproprier une histoire qui nous échappe parfois.-> Retrouver de la dignité en changeant le regard porté sur son parcours.-> Faire du récit un espace de soin, de transmission et d'accompagnement.Une conversation sensible et engagée sur le pouvoir des histoires que nous racontons, celles que les autres racontent sur nous, et celles que nous choisissons, enfin, de nous réapproprier.

J'ai eu à cœur d'ouvrir une table ronde sur un sujet qui, pour moi, est loin d'être anodin : apprendre à s'arrêter. Dans ce nouvel épisode d'ACCOMPAGNANT·ES, j'ai réuni autour de moi Shama Sqalli et Asmae Belalia, deux personnes, deux accompagnant·es qui, tout comme moi, ont traversé des périodes de pause sur 2024-2025 – des arrêts volontaires et/ou imposés, synonymes de réparation, parfois vécus comme des véritables bouleversements.Dans un monde où la vitesse et la productivité sont survalorisées, j'ai voulu explorer ce que signifie vraiment “faire une pause” et pourquoi c'est si compliqué d'y accéder, spécialement quand on accompagne, qu'on crée ou qu'on prend soin des autres. Qu'il s'agisse de mon congé maternité et parental, du congé sabbatique d'Asmae, ou de la pause nécessaire de Shama pour se régénérer, nous partageons nos cheminements intimes : la honte, la peur, le soulagement, la joie, et surtout la découverte de nouvelles façons d'exister, de travailler et de se relier à soi et aux autres.Si tu te demandes toi aussi comment t'autoriser à ralentir, à regarder le vide autrement et à trouver ta juste place dans l'accompagnement, je t'invite à embarquer avec nous pour cette discussion puissante, sincère et collective. Bonne écoute et bienvenue dans la communauté !

In this episode of The Ena Esco Show, Ena Esco sits down with comedian, entertainer, and recent LeMoyne-Owen College ASAP graduate Demario “Poundcake” Hollowell for a candid conversation about his journey as a nontraditional student, finding his voice as a comedian, and his ambitions to take his talents all the way to Hollywood. Poundcake opens up about balancing education, life, and entertainment while navigating the ASAP program at LOC. He also shares his perspective on the Memphis comedy scene, building an audience online, the realities of creating content in today's digital landscape, and his plans for the next chapter of his career. The conversation also dives into the cultural conversation surrounding Yung Miami's new song “Spend Dat,” including the debate over scammer culture, the glorification of the lifestyle, and the tragic Nolan Well controversy that has sparked broader conversations about social media, influence, accountability, and the culture surrounding online fame. From the classroom to the comedy stage, from Memphis to Hollywood, this episode is a real conversation about ambition, entertainment, culture, and the courage to pursue your next level.

Do you think that the fact that a song is an instrumental from 1959 is gonna stop us from discussing it on One Hit Thunder? Definitely not, especially if you're referring to Santo & Johnny's classic single “Sleep Walk.” You might not know the name of the song or the duo who wrote it, but you FOR SURE know the haunting steel guitar melody. This week, we're joined by Punchline guitarist and vocalist Paul Menotiades to dive into what he claims might be his favorite song ever.

Dave Kellett returns from his first-ever college reunion with a full heart — and a renewed appreciation for old friends, running jokes, and the occasional listener washing dishes through the cold open. From there, Brad and Dave dig into one of the trickiest parts of writing comics: how much work should the reader have to do to “get” the punchline? Using Brad's motorcycle-jump-over-a-ravine metaphor, they discuss why wider joke “canyons” can create bigger laughs, why shorter jumps can feel merely “technically funny,” and why the best cartoonists learn how to build strong launching ramps while understanding that every reader brings a different landing ramp. Also in this episode: How to show music in a silent medium, why semi-realistic comics should still embrace comics iconography, a quick San Diego Comic-Con update, Bluesky's expanded image carousel, and why obsessing over analytics can become a form of creative procrastination. Topics covered in this episode include: Writing punchlines that require inference from the reader Brad's “motorcycle jumping a ravine” metaphor for humor Why wider joke gaps can produce bigger laughs The difference between “funny” and “technically funny” Why some jokes land for one reader and miss for another How audience literacy, life experience, and context affect comedy Why “it took me a second” can be a feature, not a bug The danger of making every joke too obvious Why memorable comics often take bigger comedic swings Why being someone's “top three cartoonist” matters more than broad mild approval The difference between newspaper-era comics and webcomics-era audience building Dave's San Diego Comic-Con booth update The free ComicLab pin for listeners at Booth 1228 Bluesky expanding post image limits from 4 images to 10 How the new Bluesky carousel can help sequential artists How to communicate piano music in comics Why floating music notes are not “too cartoony” for semi-realistic comics Using established comics iconography instead of reinventing the wheel Why comics can suggest music but rarely reproduce the experience of music How manga and anime use visual language more freely Using musical notation as a visual “spice,” not the whole dish Why analytics can become creative avoidance Whether it matters how quickly a comic reaches its maximum views Why “magic number” thinking can distract from improving the next comic Why creators should spend less time dusting bookcases and more time making better comics What's better? A simple gag or one that requires the audience to think? UPDATE: Comic-Con International booth 1228 Update: Bluesky update... 10 images per post!

This week on Dishing It Out, Gary and Gareth welcome comedian Willa White to the studio for a chat that goes from belly laughs to brutally honest life stories and back again.Willa talks about how he first got in to stand-up, going from recovery meetings and prison to comedy workshops, Vicar Street, touring, and building a career without ever really planning to become a comedian. He opens up about his past, addiction, recovery, time in prison in Ireland and the UK, and how comedy became part of a very different life.Food-wise, there's plenty to get stuck into too. Willa chats about prison food, working as a butcher, growing up on simple dinners, his love of pork chops, offal and chowder (as long as it's not more than a tenner!)In this week's Nespresso Dish of the Week, Gareth guides you through how to properly pan-fry fish at home without fear. Then it's over to your Culinary Conundrums, where the lads explain mise en place and what it actually means for home cooks.Keep those questions coming to food@goloudnow.com .
If you follow politics at all, your head must be on a swivel (and hurting) with all of the upheaval going in America and abroad. In many cases, promises were made but not kept which may be making you rethink some of your recent choices at the ballot box and even squirm a bit.Comedian JP Sears dissects these recent events and, like the deft, wise humorist he is, reminds us that giving our power as citizens way too easily on promises not delivered makes us the punchline of the joke, a lesson all of us can learn from as we create a better destiny for ourselves and the world this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about JP and his work on his website.

There's a strong, hidden connection between comedy and clarity. When communicating, there's a fundamental difference between your point (the “what”) and the payoff (the “so what”). The intentional structure and sequence of clarity needs to take a critical cue from joke telling: start strong, and always end with a laugh. The post Ep. 397 – The Point isn't the Punchline appeared first on Just Saying.

Bilang host mula pa noong unang Pride PH hanggang ngayong ikaapat na taon nito, ikinuwento ni Inah ang evolution ng festival, kung paano ito lumaki kasabay ng komunidad, at kung ano ang maaaring asahan ng mga dadalo sa Pride March at Festival ngayong taon.Isang masaya, makulit, at makabuluhang catch-up tungkol sa comedy, creativity, community, at ang patuloy na pagsusulong ng pagkakapantay-pantay, representasyon, at empowerment.Listen up, yo.

The box office big beast this week is Toy Story 5, and we're bringing you Mark's verdict on this fifth instalment of the beloved Pixar franchise. It's been a Take favourite since it first hit screens in the 90s and has never let us down so far, but can it really live up to the hype for the fifth film in a row? Plus we've got two more reviews from this weekend's cinema slate. First up, Welsh language drama Effi o Blaenau, which recasts a Greek tragedy plot in working-class Cardiff. And from gritty modern drama to glossy period drama, there's Virginia Woolf's Night and Day - an ‘unromantic comedy' based on a comic novel by modernist literature's most famous feminist. It also brings us to our guest this week… It's Timothy Spall, who will be chatting to Simon about playing the film's crusty old patriarch, Mr. Hilbery. One of our most respected and versatile British actors, Spall has played everyone from Winston Churchill to Wormtail, and has made several celebrated films with Mike Leigh (famously, the friendliest of all directors). This one is a meaty chat not to be missed. Mark will be playing Mr Punchline in this week's Laughter Lift - unfortunately unlikely to make it any funnier.

John's monologue this time delves into Acting A.G. Todd Blanche telling congress that they will take Trump's slush fund "settlement" off the table in his lawsuit against the IRS but they are keeping Trump and his family's IRS immunity in and it stays intact. John also discusses Secretary of State AND National Security Advisor Marco Rubio saying to lawmakers that they are winning the non-war in Iran. Plus, they marvel at the forehead slapping stupidity of Trump appointing boot-licking nepo-baby Bill Pulte as Director of National Intelligence replacing Tulsi Gabbord. Next, John interviews Colonel Edmund J. Barrett (Ret.) who is running for the Maryland State Senate in legislative district 37, facing off in a June 23rd primary against Katie Clendaniel to see who will take on incumbent Republican Johnny Mautz in the general election this fall. And finally, comedian Greg Proops returns and they talk about his new album "KIDDING... BUT STILL" which is out now from A Special Thing records. It's fully improvised and recorded at The Punchline in San Francisco.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailSome of the funniest people I know are cops. Comedy is a coping mechanism and humor, even dark humor, helps us regain control over uncontrollable circumstances. So today I want to introduce you to a cop turned comedian, Jim Perry. Jim was an officer near Chicago for several years before a medical retirement and now he's a comedian and comedy club owner in Arizona. We're going to talk about his journey into stand up comedy and why cops are a natural fit to tell jokes, deal with hecklers, and survive when your jokes bomb on stage.
