Podcast Picks with Jim the Podcast Sherpa

Money! I'll bet you never really thought about how your emotions were tied to your finances, and in more ways than you imagine. Shannon is a long-time advocate for financial literacy, who explores the relationship with your money and emotions in her book, "Your Money Has Feelings". You can get past all of the emotional baggage to buy more baggage (um, sorry, I meant luggage) and live a financially-confident life. You're already off...

A few months ago (early 2025), Bruce released a book titled "It Seemed Like A Bad Idea at the Time", chronicling some of the craziest projects he's worked on. Which, I assure you, is just as funny, if not way more, than the interview here, from 2020. Definitely, one of my favorites...SO much laughing on this one!

Definitely a change of pace, as far as true crime episodes are concerned! Jonathan has lived an interesting life and has brought some truly fascinating and thrilling works to the reading public. Apologies for me sounding like I got electrocuted during the interview. (I didn't...it was after the interview.) But this story of Greg Scarpa is the stuff movies are made of, and I'm glad I got to talk to Jonathan about it. Thanks for comi...

These days, Stacey has been involved in lots of entrepreneurial work, and some fan sites, some even involving Cedric the Entertainer. (Hey Cedric, I watch your show, why don't you come on mine? Is it that "lack of talent image" I project? Um, fair enough.....)

"Calling Old Hollywood" called it quits in 2024, but there are a lot of fascinating back stories to be heard on this one. And the back stories on Kat, too!!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ok, Rebels, you heard the story right- Kat jammed with Green Day when she was 11! ELEVEN years old. When I was 11, the only jam I ever got close ...

You can still hear new episodes of "The Jeff Dwoskin Show",by the way. So have a listen to an earlier chat that I got to have with "Michigan's Favorite Son*" (*Not officially verified).!

Welcome to 3 days of comedy related podcasts! And this was a SML (so much laughing) week for your Sherpa. But once you hear these interviews, I'm guessing you'll cut me a little slack? Anyway, we kick things off with Jeff Dwoskin. A ...

The last few years, Lisa has been acting in a few horror films. But I wonder if anything was ax scary as the story that you'll hear from this interview, from a few years ago?

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You know it's serious stuff when there's a warning in the title! Lisa's book hadn't come out as of the writing of this ...

Love Electronic Dance Music? We're featuring an episode from "The DJ Sessions" with an interview with Dr. Fresch, from 2023. Plus, we're spending a little time with host Darran Bruce, chatting about his podcast, with a closer look at this music. I also got to be interviewed on his show ( https://www.thedjsessions.com/Jim07125) . I know...you're thinking, "What's the Sherpa doing on an electronic dance music podcast? Slow week?" Res...

Brandy is ABSOLUTELY one of my favorite people in Podcastia! She still gets a kick out of the fact that I had her doing cartoon voices. But if you love hearing people speak with authentic passion, look for her on social media. You'll be glad you did!

As you will hear, Brandy is a lot of fun to talk to. Plus, I had equally as much ...

I think that this episode fits the "trifecta of true crime guests", if there ever was one. Phil is a profiler, podcast host, and author. He shared a lot of information, but there's way more to be found, by checking out his book (link below). So, check out some serial killer myths as they are exploded, and later, The Sherpa talks social media, and changes coming to Sherpalution ( none which involve tariffs, we promise). Thank...

Great news! You can still catch new episodes of "The Binge-Watchers Podcast". John is still cranking out episodes and offering his perspective on today's popular movies, among other things. Definitely worth the listen!!

Day 3!! Okay, I'll start by answering the burning question. Even thou...

Almost halfway through the season, and while I've been very happy with the guests that have been on so far, this episode is a real favorite. Kyndle was so much fun to talk with, and she has a really interesting story to tell, too! I'm sure her upcoming release will make a lot of people sit up and take notice of her immense talent. (And if they are already sitting up, they will stand! And do cartwheels! Too much? Sorry...) But as pr...

Horror Fans! It's a throwback interview with horror director Colin Bressler. You can catch some of his spooooooooky stuff online or on streaming networks!

Day 2! I've gotta hand it to a guy like Colin Bressler. From a self-described "scaredy cat" to a director of horror movies that w...

I guess I really didn't know as much about grill cleaning as I thought, until speaking to Jeffrey. I guess it's time to throw out that yak carcass that I left on the rotisserie. (I'd call his company, but I don't know if I'll get charged for the vultures flying around it. How embarrassing...) But his story isn't exactly what I expected it to be, which made it all the more interesting. Plus, I'm so glad that I got to actually talk a...

There have been a few interviews that I've done with voiceover actors, and I always find them so interesting, because of the unique part they play in the entertainment field. This was a great chat, with a really nice guest, from 2020!

The first thing I had to ask Daniel before our interview was how to pronounce the escapee's name. "Just think 'Chasin' ", was his reply. This was a fascinating interview for me. Daniel has led quite the interesting life, as you will hear. Even with his connection to the events he writes about, he really brings such a unique perspective. This is one of the interviews I call a standout...even if you have to hear my voice on it. Thank...

Five years later, and Lana is still cranking out movies! Make sure you check out her IMDB, and your streaming services to find them. This chat was back in 2020, and was a fun one!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Soooo much laughing! That's what happens when you hang out with Lana Read! You can tell what a good time we were ...

Thanks so much to Dr. Bramante for this interview! You can follow him on social media for more pointers or buy his book (see below), but I think this interview really lays groundwork for aspiring actors...or even folks venturing out into a new career, don't you think? (Don't worry, I'll just bill your insurance for the favor,,,)
