The Sherpa's Podcast Picks (Discovering podcasts with Jim the Podcast Sherpa)

(Doh! The original release didn't include the episode of "Twenty Thousand Hertz" advertised. It's now here for your listening pleasure :-) )

It's been such a treat for me to get to chat with podcasters whom I admire (along with their work). I get to add to the collection, another fave, in "Twenty Thousand Hertz", and chat with host Dallas Taylor, too. As you'll plainly hear, Dallas has not only a...

This episode? Absolutely a Top 10 fave for the Sherpa. Like with his buddy Bruce Villanch, I had to keep my mic far away from me to limit my laughing! Have a listen and laugh, too!

At long last, I get to release this episode! Not that anything was holding me back, I just got a bit bogged down. I really had a lot of fun interviewing Steve. Luckily I edited out mo...

I admit, I'm the worst at hide and seek. This is why I can't seem to find podcasters to interview! So, since I've been listening to a bunch of shows, I figured I'd use a mini-episode to tell you about them. Also, a correction: I KNOW it's the BTK Killer, not the BTL. I must have been overly focused on my BLT while recording this!

This was one of the fun ones....also the ONLY interview where I imitate Mary Tyler Moore (And sadly, I'm not joking!!!)

Robbie wanted to surprise his co-hosts on his show by appearing on mine. If he ever wants to surprise me ,think of something that starts with a "P" and rhymes with "Morsha". He's definitely a talented guy, whether ...

(If you caught the earlier episode on its re-release, you heard all my bloopers. Whoops, wrong audio file! The interview is a bit scratchy, but otherwise, it came out okay. )Sorry, Rebels, Looks like the podcasters are hiding from me, so it's a throwback to a 2020 interview, which I think you will enjoy (again). Apologies for the kind of grainy sound quality. But you know what's refreshing and a motivator for you? My link t...

Part 3 of my 2020 trilogy of former child actors. And don't forget that 2025 will mark the 50th anniversary of "Jaws"!!!

______________________________________________________________________

Thanks so much to Jeff Vorhees for coming on the show and discussing his experience of working on "Jaws", and the longstanding celebrity status that he has with all of the movie's enthusiasts. He had lots of stories to tell! I hope that you've...

Well, if you were counting, or you're better at math than I am (you are!) it actually comes out to 31, so consider it a bonus on a "Bonus Sherpa Samples" episode. I've been looking for podcasters to come on the show, but a few are still mad at me from what we'll refer to as "the incident", or legally, "The People v. The Sherpa." But that's another episode. First, here's the link for the wonderful Magic Mind promo for January:

This interview is from 2020, which is why there was no mention of "A Christmas Story Story", by the way. But Scott was a great guest with some great stories!

_____________________________________________________________________

If I were to make a "Master Bates" reference, it would only be in reference to the leading role played by Scott Schwartz in "The Toy". Plus, this IS a family show, you know. Scott had lots of great stories t...

I found it interesting how Joe has to improvise in all three of his chosen fields. Whenever I choose to improvise in a field, I'm normally led away in handcuffs. Trust me, the phrase "Yes, And..." doesn't have too much validity there. So check out Joe in his Hallmark movie this coming holiday season, or hear him on the radio. (He won't be singing holiday songs...or will he?) Thanks for coming on the show, Joe!

You know, on Quora, they are constantly asking who the nicest and rudest celebrities are. And oddly enough, my name NEVER gets mentioned. But Oliver was super nice! Have a listen, and you'll see what I mean!

____________________________________________________________________________

Talk about a really down-to-earth guy! No, I was referring to Oliver Robins, not me! I really enjoyed speaking with him. He's a true student of film, ...

I figured while it's Christmas, and I'm sitting by the (dumpster) fire, sipping yak nog, I'd replay this episode from Christmas of 2019. . Besides, what better than the gift of inspiration?

______________________________________________________________________________________

Merry Christmas...and all of the translations that go with it, for my international listeners! Or just Happy Holidays if you're not celebrating Christmas. Eit...

Alas, "In A City Like Yours" is no more, but it exists in the vaults of Podcastia. If you're a podcast interview fan ( which I presume you are, since you're hearing this...or you lost a bet?) check Michael's show out!

____________________________________________________________________________________

It was such a nice visit from Michael for this episode. It's interesting in how his show,his guests lay out the stories of their liv...

Aaron comes to the show with an interesting story of how he discovered music in his life, and what he's currently doing with it. Hopefully, it's more than what I'm doing with my comedy career, which is spending a lot of time denying I wrote my own material.,Anyway, thanks for coming on the show, Aaron!

Programming Note: "Sherpa Selects" airs on Saturdays. And I will take requests and mention your name!!!

Please note that since this interview, Myq has recorded more albums and has done numerous specials. Be sure to check them out-guaranteed laughs, Rebels!

________________________________________________________________________________

What can I say? Myq was lots of fun, and a pleasure to interview. I've included some links to check out for those of you who aren't familiar with Myq's comedy. His album, AKA will be released May 8, 20...

Every once in a while, I get a guest whose story REALLY needs to be heard. And this, Rebels, is one of them. Sheriff Akin (I get to call him Lane!) has had a fascinating career in law enforcement in Texas. His book only covers the undercover portion of it. There's more storeies to hear...right here! Thanks for coming on the show, Lane!

Here's the link to Lane's book: https://www.amazon.com/Point-Dawn-Texas-Meth-War/dp/B0CWPN6YVN

This was one of the fun ones, Rebels; but alas, "Try Not To Laugh" hasn't been producing new episodes for a while. So, enjoy the nostalgia from 2020, okay?

__________________________________________________________________________

It was a real pleasure interviewing the guys from Try Not To Laugh . I'm sure Brandon and Andy, (or is it Andy and Brandon?) must have a tough time living up to their podcasts's title, because there was a...

I just love it when we get guests with such interesting stories. David's is most certainly not one you'd hear on other podcasts. But as he said, he knew he wanted to create...and so he did! So check out this interview! (And try not to dwell on the ED talk. Or if you do, you have to sing along with David! )Thanks for coming on the show, David!

So nice to speak with Carmine, who's a really classy guy (unlike your Sherpa). All the best to him on his future endeavors. Here are some links to his projects:

So, here's a question...you're living in a small Minnesota farming town, and you want more out of life, so what do you do? You start a podcast, naturally! Which is exactly what Franky did. So, his career takes a terribly wrong turn and he winds uo here (KIDDING!) , and we have an interesting chat-thanks for coming on the show, Franky!
