On the Mic with Tim Drake

On today's episode of the podcast I have comedian Caleb Zeringue!

I first became aware of Caleb from his play "Luigi: The Musical", and have continued to see his standup clips pop up online. So when his publicists asked if I wanted to have him on the show to talk about his new show, "The Drillmaster", which he co-wrote with Jenny Zigrino, I was excited to have him join me. 

I talked with Caleb about growing up in the South and find...

We're back! FINALLY! And what better way to kick off the first episode of 2026 than with a LIVE episode from WonderCon! In perfect Con fashion, this episode has some audio issues. Our apologies. But the show must go on!

For this year's WonderCon show I decided to bring not only my dear friend and director of Demonetize, Alex Watson, but a few of our cast members as well! We were thrilled to have Matty Cardarople and Janine Hogan jo...

On today's episode I am LIVE from Los Angeles Comic Con with actor Sean Carrigan! 

I have had the pleasure of getting to know Sean over the past year as he is one of the stars of our latest film, "Demonetize"! I have always been so intrigued by Sean's backstory of a professional boxer turned actor and invited him to join me for the live show to tell that story. 

We talked about growing up on the East Coast and finding his way to bo...

On today's episode we are coming to you LIVE from San Diego Comic-Con celebrating 10 Years at SDCC with special guests Rob Kutner, Mike Heidbreder, and J.B. House!

While Rob, Mike and J.B. are all returning guests to the show, I felt that it was very fitting to celebrate my 10 Year anniversary show with three of the people who are a big part of SDCC to me and I was thrilled they were all able to be a part of this. 

We talked about ...

On today's episode I have comic book writers and filmmakers, Ben and Max Berkowitz! 

I first came across the Berkowtiz Brothers almost a year ago when I briefly met them at a signing for their comic book, "The Writer". I'll be honest, I wasn't at the signing for them, but for another comic and decided to pick theirs up while I was there. As soon as I dove in I was hooked!

I talked with Max and Ben about growing up on the East Coast...

On today's episode of the podcast, I have actress Allison Pittel!

On today's episode I have artist and writer Nathan Hamill and Filipkowski!   I first found Nathan's work at DesignerCon back in 2019, which eventually led me to the comic strip that he and Eric started making called "2 Dumb Dinos". After over 295 comic strips, they released a "2 Dumb Dino's" book back in October, and I have absolutely loved it!   I talked with Nathan and Eric about how they got their start, what led to them creatin...

On today's episode of the podcast, I have podcaster and content creator, Sadie Ingan!

Sadie and I got to know each other on the set of "Demonetize", as she was filming all of our upcoming social media content and making some very fun videos with our cast. Sadie has such a great, fun energy that is infectious as soon as she walks in the room, and I couldn't wait to have her on the show!

I talked with Sadie about how she started podc...

On today's episode, I have writer/director Steven LaMorte and producer/actress Amy Schumacher from the new horror/comedy, "Screamboat"!

On January 1, 2024 the beloved Steamboat Willie became public domain, and Steven and Amy knew exactly what they were going to do when the clock struck midnight, turn it into a horror film! I was shocked at just how fast this was announced after the property became public, but Steve and Amy already ...

Sean first came on the show last summer ahead of San Diego Comic-Con, and returns to talk about the new Kickstarter that he's launching TODAY for his hit comic series "Scarlett Huntress Meets Mothman"! This is Sean's 7th Kickstarter campaign, and I anticipate it will be another great success.

Since the series was launched, it has become a massive hit, selling out theaters across the country before the...

On today's episode I have Oscar nominated filmmaker, Loïc Espuche!

Loïc's animated short film "YUCK!" is nominated in this years Academy Awards. This is such a sweet film following a group of kids on vacation seeing all of the adults around them showing affection and kissing. Of course kissing is gross to kids, so they all squirm and of course exclaim, "YUCK!". 

I talked with Loïc about how the film came about, how he got into anim...

Vera's new the film "The People's Joker" is quickly becoming a hit after her recent win at The Gotham Awards. This film is unlike anything I have seen and is so incredibly unique as Vera tells her story of coming out as a trans woman through the lens of the Joker.

On today's episode of the podcast, I have actor and filmmaker Gregory Lay! 

Season 4 of Greg's show "Greg in LA" is out now! I had seen episodes of the show in the past on Instagram, but always thought they were just sketches and didn't realize they were part of a much larger body of work. As soon as I dove into the first episode of the show I was hooked! I also quickly learned that Greg runs two food companies here in LA, "Eastsid...
