In this special episode of the STEAM Box Podcast, recorded live with our summer ACN (Advanced Course Network) youth, we sit down with Ed Brady, Hollywood producer, restaurateur, and Cranston mayoral candidate. Known as the ultimate “master connector,” Ed shares his incredible journey from carrying golf bags as a 13-year-old at Alpine Country Club to rubbing shoulders with celebrities at an SNL after-party and successfully pitching Kenan Thompson at 4:00 AM to film Good Burger 2 in Rhode Island.Guided by insightful questions from our Steampunks, Ed opens up about his core pillars as a social entrepreneur, the psychological battle of saving Cranston's historic Park Theater from being turned into apartments, and his independent vision for city leadership. Whether discussing the grueling realities of the film industry, the importance of diversifying local police forces, or how to block out negative internet comments through "the hater album," Ed's message is clear: lead with kindness, embrace a curious mind, and never let the world put your dreams in a box. Tune in to hear how Rhode Island is preparing for a massive creative renaissance, and get inspired to turn your own big ideas into reality.#CreativeRhodeIsland #EdBrady #SteamboxPodcast #CranstonRI #YouthMedia #GoodBurger2 #SocialEntrepreneur #ParkTheater #LeadWithKindness #ACNProgram

The USS Abraham Lincoln is coming home after a deployment that stretched past 240 days, and the bill is about to come due: mechanical failures, rations down to the emergency stores, 20,000 unfilled billets at sea, and a maintenance backlog funneling into the one carrier repair yard on each coast.

In this special, chaotic episode of STEAM Box vs! The summer program Steampunks sit down with none other than the Digital Dark Lord himself, Lord Voldemort. Our youth hosts don't hold back, grilling him on everything from his half-muggle heritage to why he famously underestimated Harry Potter. Voldemort opens up about his miserable, sweaty days living as a parasite on the back of Professor Quirrell's head, his absolute disdain for Hogwarts "reality shifters", his bizarre feelings about muggles "shipping" him with Beatatrix, and his intense hatred of pop music. Tune in to hear the Digital Dark Lord lose his patience and place a dramatic curse on our microphones and batteries, before they run out of power entirely!#SteamboxPodcast #HarrysQuest #LordVoldemort #Steampunks #TomRiddle #ProfessorQuirrell #Hogwarts #Beatatrix #MuggleWorld #PodcastCurse

In this episode, Charles sits down with TJ Horn, a Boston-area drummer who has played with several bands — most notably the critically acclaimed Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys. Beyond his drumming career, TJ is a passionate live music fan who set a personal record in 2025 by attending 75 concerts in a single year. He's also known in certain Boston circles for his live readings of erotic fan fiction. It's a wide-ranging conversation about music, performance, and what it means to love live shows. TJ traces his passion for live music back to a 1994 Depeche Mode concert at the Blockbuster Pavilion in Glen Helen, California — a show his uncle brought him and his family to when he was just 12 years old. That night sparked a lifelong obsession. That same year, his uncle also took him to Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and the legendary Lollapalooza '94 — where TJ saw the Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, L7, and a then-unknown Green Day, just weeks before they exploded in popularity. Over the years, TJ has accumulated remarkable concert stories: chatting with Fred Durst for 40 minutes at Ozzfest while watching Tool, seeing Porno for Pyros perform a surprise acoustic set on a walkway at Lollapalooza '95, and stumbling upon a tiny 40-person Touché Amoré show after standing in the snow for a wristband. His 75-show year in 2025 came about naturally — fueled by a wide network of friends with different musical tastes, a work schedule that freed up his evenings, and a simple philosophy of saying yes when a cheap ticket or a spare invite came along. On the music-making side, TJ is a self-taught drummer who got his start playing along to Green Day and the Ramones in his bedroom as a military kid who had just moved to Boston. He's gone on to play with bands spanning punk, hardcore, and art-rock, including The Martyrs and a rock opera project featuring Amy Winehouse's saxophonist and members of The Replacements. His longest creative relationship has been with Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys — a theatrical "steam crunk" band known for elaborate costumes, steampunk conventions, annual RPM Challenge albums, and now an upcoming horror sci-fi film directed by Walter himself. TJ also speaks fondly of the erotic fan fiction readings that made him unexpectedly famous in Boston's burlesque and cosplay scene — a side gig that started with dramatic readings of bad dating app messages and turned into a crowd-favorite variety act.

Podcast Description:In episode one of the 2027 season of the STEAM Box podcast, a brand new group of youth Steampunks interview special guest Chris Revill. Chris, known for his *Let's Chat* podcast, shares his journey of starting a podcast as a hobby in 2013 and how the networking opportunities eventually allowed him to leave an 11-year career in healthcare for a job in digital marketing and sales. He offers excellent advice to young podcasters about the importance of discovering a hyper-niche topic you are passionate about and connecting with those specific communities online. The interview explores how getting behind a microphone can build essential life skills like communication, sales, audio editing, and even help overcome social anxiety. Alongside these valuable life and career lessons, the student hosts keep Chris on his toes with hilarious detours, including an intense debate on whether house cats secretly plot their owners' demise, discussions on the practicality of surviving with superpowers, and a rapid-fire lightning round. Tune in to hear how simply having the courage to start a conversation can open doors you never imagined. #YouthPodcasting #SteamboxPodcast  #ChrisRevill  #PodcastNetworking  #CareerGrowth #AudioProduction #StudentCreators #CommunicationSkills  #CommunityBuilding  #YouthEmpowerment

Grab a cold beverage and settle in! This week on Tall Boy Radio, Beans and Gaz are firing up the microphones for an absolutely packed, literary-fueled conversation. The boys are joined by the incredibly prolific independent author Victoria L. Szulc to dissect an astonishing milestone: writing and publishing over 30 books.Victoria is a true genre-hopper, spanning everything from dark, atmospheric vampire lore to gears-and-goggles steampunk adventures, with a fascinating detour into the gritty world of true crime. In this deep-dive interview, the trio uncovers exactly what drives a writer to produce such a massive body of work, the mechanics of a relentless writing schedule, and a masterclass on the subgenres capturing readers' imaginations today.For the uninitiated, the term "Steampunk" can feel a bit elusive. Beans kicks off the conversation by asking Victoria to lay down the definitive framework for the genre. Victoria breaks it down beautifully, explaining that it is essentially a subgenre of science fiction that incorporates retro-futuristic technology and aesthetics based on 19th-century steam-powered machinery. Think the Victorian era meets advanced, alternate-history technology—where cybernetics run on brass gears, airships dominate the skies, and corsets meet ray guns.Gaz dives into the creative well, asking Victoria how she keeps the wellspring of ideas from running dry after 30+ titles. Victoria shares her deep love for history, classic gothic horror, and the aesthetic of bygone eras. Whether she is world-building a sprawling steampunk empire or crafting centuries-old vampire hierarchies, her inspiration often sparks from real-world historical anomalies, architecture, and the dark corners of folklore.You don't hit a 30-book bibliography by waiting around for inspiration to strike. Victoria pulls back the curtain on her daily routine, giving Beans, Gaz, and the listeners a realistic look at her writing schedule. She discusses:The discipline of daily word-count goals.How she manages to balance plotting complex, multi-book series while keeping her standalone projects fresh.The reality of being an indie author, where writing is only half the battle alongside editing, formatting, and marketing.Beans and Gaz are always curious about workflow, prompting a great segment on what helps Victoria maintain intense focus. From curated ambient playlists that match the mood of her gothic or Victorian settings, to the exact environment she needs to block out the noise of the modern world, Victoria shares her personal "focus hacks" that keep her fingers flying across the keyboard.Shifting gears from fiction to reality, the guys ask Victoria about her dabbling in the true crime genre. She explains the profound differences between inventing a fictional vampire antagonist and researching real-world crime. It's a fascinating look at how a fiction writer adapts to the rigid, fact-heavy boundaries of non-fiction.Find Victoria online :Home | thecountessvictorialszulcauthortallboyradio.com

recorded July 8, 2026 In a steampunk world where modern computers and cutting edge AI don't exist, how do robots work ? Is it magic? Or techno-gibberish involving cogs and springs? We'll try to break it down! from Thax's notes: The Sandman — a story of mistaken identity resulting from the love affair between the protagonist Nathanael and an automaton. Rossum's Robots from R.U.R. — although these are artificial biological workers rather than mechanical robots, the play introduced the word "robot" to the world. 

Scientifically. Accurate. Ant-Man.

The underworld is marching towards the gates of Hell.

recorded May 27, 2026 We always get a little anxious this close to a big event, so we're playing by ear tonight. Thax just learned about 'trinket trading' that occurs at renfaires, and even at steampunk events, but undercover. Have you interacted this way? Good or no? Also from refaire, Rat Pucking!
