Everything is Awesome
Wannabe writer and director, Kevin Gallagher, sits down on this long form conversational / interview podcast where his guests include comedians, actors, musicians, authors, fellow podcasters, and pretty much anyone willing to sit down and chat. Simply put, we’re talking to awesome people about awesome things!

It's officially 2026! It's time for our annual tradition of sitting down with Mike DeAngelo to talk about the previous year—that's right, it's the Everything is Awesome 2025 Rewind!
We look back at the entertainment, specifically in film and video games [with a touch of TV and books] that we enjoyed with some rough top ten lists. We also take the time to reflect on what each of us has done creatively this year.
Stay t...
Happy Life Day and Merry Christmas!

200 episodes. Man, that's something special. This is the first podcast I've done where we've hit that number. Happy Hour hit around 175 episodes or so before I shut it down, though I may have been part of The Stabcast for close to 200 episodes. Regardless... this is special, no matter how long it took to get to it.
And just like we did for Everything is Awesome Episode 100, we're playing a game! This time, we head to...
This is one of my absolute favorite episodes I've ever recorded. When I sit down and think about my favorite episodes (and, to be fair, every episode has a special place in my heart), they are usually on opposite sides of the spectrum. Our live shows, which I love, are either in a "Late Night" format or a panel from a convention. We have episodes like 100 (and next week's 200th episode) where we play games, and then...
Let's talk about podcasting and how no one is an expert. Everything is Awesome is nearly 10 years old. I've been podcasting for nearly 19 years. Yet, an entire interview is missing. It happens to the best of us. None of us is perfect, and we should always be striving to learn from our failures.

It's a short episode this week because of said failure above. We'll need...
BAM! We're back with another episode! Jordan Spector is a former multi-sport athlete who walked on to the football team at Temple University. After an injury cut his playing career short, he discovered his true passion for art. Since 2015, he has built a remarkable reputation for creating high-energy mixed-media sports artwork that captures the emotion and motion of the games we love. His work has been commissioned by pro athle...
Blows inside the podcast, kind of like we did to video game cartridges back in the '90s.
It works! Everything is Awesome works! But, for how long? Are we back, back? Or a few before Kev's mental health tanks again.
Folks, it's going to tank again, but I've set up some internal processes that will help keep this show on schedule. Now, for the good stuff:
This week, Kev sits down with the multitalented Tonya Todd—author,...
Happy Memorial Day! I love sitting down and talking with Mike about life, podcasting, and more. Mike is one of the first Philly podcasting buddies I made, and while we don't talk often, I have so much respect for him.
We catch up, talk parenthood, podcasting, and more.

GO BIRDS.
My intro and outro to this episode say it all. FanExpo 2025 was important to me for many reasons. It brought me back to Everything is Awesome, which has been with me through ALL my trauma and what I can only assume is the onset of my fragile mental health. This show makes me happy, and I need to be here more with it.
I was also reminded about why we take shots, even if it is improbable to make them. Thanks for the reminder,...
WARNING: The audio for the panel was recorded differently because the cable I needed changed from years past. That said, I can't believe how well it turned out despite the way we recorded it.
There's nothing like a live show, panel, or performance to get your creative juices flowing. And that's what This is Heavy: 40 Years of Back to the Future did for me. While I did panels at last year's FanExpo, I also worked a co...
WE'RE BACK. For real. Fan Expo 2025 has energized me to return to Everything is Awesome and commit to it more than ever. I miss talking to people about their awesome things, and there are so many conversations you haven't heard.
I'm playing off the momentum to bring you FAN EXPO week! Today is a conversation I had with Ben Beck LAST YEAR about Fan Expo Philadelphia 2024, but the heart of the conversation is timeless. It&...
Kev sat down a few weeks ago with the unofficial co-host of Everything is Awesome, Mike DeAngelo, to talk about 2024 and 2025, what they liked, and what they're looking forward to.
If you listened to the small episode we dropped last week, you know that Kev has been preoccupied with a death in his family, so the show notes are simple here, as the editing for this episode was started BEFORE things got bad and finished last week. ...
Ana Saia joins Kev for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation about social media’s evolution, cultural identity, and the art of storytelling. Kev kicks things off by marveling at the fact that podcasting is now a college class, leading to a discussion about generational differences between “Old Man Kev” and the next wave of creators.
The two dive into the progression of social media, from MySpace and Twitter to TikTok, and t...
Steve Cooper, host of the long-running Cooper Talk podcast, joins Kev for an insightful and entertaining conversation! They dive into the art of podcasting as Steve approaches his 1,000th episode (at the time of recording, at release, Steve has released 1,029 episodes), sharing his philosophy on keeping things simple, making the process fun, and not taking it too seriously. They also talk about the editing process, reflecting on th...
Mike DeAngelo joins Kev a final time to conclude their conversation from the Season 2 premiere! They dive into the personal projects they have going on in 2024, some of the games they're looking forward to, and wrap things up with what's coming in 2024 for TV.
Be sure to join us at Fan Expo Philadelphia 2024! Looking for Mike while there? He'll be in Artist Alley at booth A1404 with Tellest and Wyrd Witch Wands. Kev will...

Nearly 17 years ago, Kev started podcasting and Jonesy was there for it all. The beginning. The rise. The fall. The Lower Bucks Podcast Wars of 2008. And now he's back to talk about the past, how podcasting has changed over the years, and to share some marketing tips.
Everything is Awesome is back, baby! Season 2 kicks off the only way Kev knows how–wild tangents, with Mike DeAngelo, and a little bit late! Mike shares his top ten video games of 2023 while Kev shares his top ten movies of 2023. All this and more!
