So What Do You Really Do?

Thanks for downloading the first episode of So What Do You Really Do? with my guest John Paul Rivera. John and I recorded this interview in my backyard in Boston a lot of months ago. Literally six or seven months ago. One night me, John, and couple other comedians were hanging around, talking and what not, when I mentioned the podcast. Right then I decided to have John Paul on because I knew if I didn’t set an actual record date, n...

Thanks again for downloading this episode of the podcast. A few months ago I sat down with a comedian from England, Robyn Perkins. Robyn is actually from Boston, moved to England, decided to start doing stand up comedy. We talked a lot of about the difference between how the comedy scene is in the UK compared to how it is here in the America (specifically Boston). I also asked Robyn a bit about her experiences being a woman in come...

J Today on the podcast is my friend Jordan Handren-Seavey (which I probably said incorrectly, because that’s what I do sometimes). Jordan is a comedian from Maine, now living in Boston, who spends his days driving a delivery truck for a bakery. As you can imagine there’ll be a few choice words about Boston traffic in the podcast. He also at one time was a professional skier and grew up on a real, working farm. Jordan is a funny guy...

Thank you so much for listening to this episode of the podcast. My guest is actor and comedian Andy Ostroff. Andy and I met at an open mic here in Boston when he just moved back to town from L.A. We were having a great, fun talk about acting, the SAG-AFTRA union, and comedy. So, we had to kind of recreate some of that conversation here for the podcast, which was a little bit fun to try do. We also talk a lot about acting classes, s...

Thanks so much for listening to this week’s long awaited episode of the podcast. I say long awaited because it’s taken 3 weeks to get the computer I use for everything fixed, working, and put back together so I can get this episode online. Regardless, I’m glad to finally get this interview up with a very funny comedian, actress, and nanny, India Pearl. I met India here in Boston, shortly afterwards she moved to peruse acting and co...

My guest on the podcast this week is comedian and Uber driver Don Zollo. I’ll warn/apologize now for the very long intro to this podcast. I go into a very LONG rant about my feelings towards ride-sharing apps, also I read you an article about current legislature being passed here in Massachusetts concerning Uber and Lyft. Which you can read here if you would like (or hear me read to you like a pissed off bedtime story). Don is a ve...

My guest on the podcast this week is my friend and comedian Alex Gettlin from Comic Insite. We talk about his time working for TMZ, being a tour guide, and we get into a little bit of comedy business talk discussing running shows and other comedians and specials. This was a fun chat, especially if you enjoy celebrity news/gossip. I don’t, but it was something that I need to know about when I was working in Top 40 radio. So it was f...

This week on the podcast I sat down and talked about proposal writing, winning comedy competitions, and starting out working the road with comedian Al Park. Music in this episode by my good friend Scott Lester. (And more music to come on future episodes of the podcast. So, stay tuned for that.)

Continuing with radio month here on the podcast my guest this week is good friend Scott Lester. He is both the producer for syndicated radio shows The Kane Morning Show and Club Kane and a musician. We talk about his career in radio, music, how he got started in both, the progression so far, and what the future might hold for both jobs. And we mention little bit about his dog and how adorable he is. Not is Scott a friend and former...

My guest on the podcast this week is reporter, writer, and musician David Tanklefsky. Continuing with radio month (even though it’s now July), Davis is a fellow radio coworker. He and I work together, he as the traffic reporter, me as the producer. He is currently on TV as the in-house morning traffic reporter for local cable television station NECN/New England Cable News as their in-house morning news traffic reporter. In this epi...

Ending radio month on the podcast is my good friend Jackson Blue. Jackson and I used to work together in Baltimore at a different station, he left for Boston, and after a few years helped me get my job up here. This was one of my favorite podcasts because we really get into the passion that radio is to both of our careers. We also discuss how being a parent affects his job and vice versa. I’m really glad to have Jackson talk about ...

This is a special bonus swapcast episode with fellow podcaster Steven Richard K from Search for a Cohost podcast and sketch group Mister Bismuth. We don’t actually get into Steven’s day job because he keeps that separate from his comedy life, which is foreign and weird to me. We talk about that, when and how he got into sketch comedy and how he met up with the fellow Mister Bismuth sketch group. Which, by the way, is one of the bes...

This episode of the podcast I got to get out of the studio and onto a boat with The Dirty Dottys. A Boston based Jazz, ska, swing, rock, pop, band. The group is comprised of four music teachers, a scientist, and a musical therapist. This was a fun podcast listening to how each of them are different types of music teachers, finding out what music therapy is, how it helps different types of injuries and rehabilitation, and of course ...

Continuing with music month all July is my good friend and drummer Chris Eller. Chris was in Boston on tour as the drummer for CJ Ramone, which he explains the unusual method he used to get into the band, we talk about old hot spots we used to play at in Baltimore, his job working for a moving company, and life as a musician on tour. If you enjoyed this episode go see Chris when his other band The Huntington’s come to New England o...

My guest on the podcast are the amazingly talented musicians Nancy Hornburg and Sue Werner of the band War on Woman. Nancy is actually a very old friend of mine from my earlier days in music and radio. Sue is the bass player in the band, and basically lives the life that is the epitome of this podcast. By day she’s a data analyst for John Hopkins Hospital and by night plays bass in a feminist hardcore band and a Gin Blossoms cover ...

Today on the podcast Videographer and musician Mike Rickshaw of the band Mickey Rickshaw. I met Mike at an open mic in Jamaica Plain about 8 or 9 months ago, and we finally now were able to get together for this podcast. I was hoping some members of the band were going to show up, so we could get a live acoustic performance in the home studio, but that didn’t happen. Which with musicians is not surprising. They (and that includes m...

This week on the podcast is good friend from Baltimore, now living in New York City, writer and comedian Ben Rosen. Ben and I met before I started doing comedy through mutual friends, one a comedian, one who wasn’t. We instantly got a long. We didn’t really keep in touch other than over Twitter and Facebook, so when I started to do standup, I messaged him asking if he wanted to hit an open mic with me, to which he replied, “are you...

This week on the podcast I sat down and spoke with former political campaign activist, former sex worker, and comedian Kaytlin Bailey. She was in Boston for the Women in Comedy Festival and to kick off the Cake Comedy Tour. We talked about having to stay in an AirBnB with the fear of bedbugs, putting together a comedy tour, being a political activist, and Kaytlin’s time as a teenage and adult prostitute. Find more about Kaytlin’s s...
