This is one of the interviews I did on June 21, 2022, when I participated in the Alzheimer's fundraiser "The Longest Day", although we had to do a redo because the audio was unsalvageable.

Chivaun Oldes is a 30-something wife and mother of two. She is a craft enthusiast, dabbling artist and pet lover. A self-identified 'ball of anxiety,' she is a mental health awareness advocate and creates children's stories to help bring understanding of mental health disorders and diagnoses to young minds.

Episode 55: Author Chivaun Oldes and Her Anxiety Monster

This is one of the interviews I did on June 21, 2022, when I participated in the Alzheimer's fundraiser "The Longest Day".



Jennifer Shiman is best known for being behind the hilarious 30-Second Bunnies Theatre, a Flash animated series of shorts that ... well, re-enact movies (and some TV episodes) in 30 seconds, but with bunnies. When COVID hit, she stopped that and started work on a middle school graphic novel called World's End Detective Agency.



We talk about both projects, how the pandemic changed how she does things, and how she approaches her work.

Episode 54: Animator and Artist Jennifer Shiman

On June 21, 2022, I participated in the Alzheimer's fundraiser "The Longest
Day". This had me livestreaming interviews (with the goal of them winding up
podcast episodes) from 6 am to 9 pm. I interviewed all sorts of fun people, and
got a lot of good content out of it.

One of the interviews was with Sean Cawelti, the artistic director of the Rogue
Artists Ensemble in Los Angeles. We talk about what being an artistic director
is like for him, his work as a puppeteer and designer, and how he (and the
industry) pivoted when COVID struck.

Episode 53: Sean Cawelti, Artistic Director of Rogue Artists Ensemble

In October 2021, I attended the ceremony for both the 2020 and 2021 Writers and
Illustrators of the Future Award. I did a write-up of the event, which you can
read on my website. However, there were some great pieces I got via audio that
didn't transfer well to the written word, so I wanted to do an extended edition.
It also includes some snippets from the ceremony itself, which you can watch in
its entirety here [https://youtu.be/z8loB_5F4cw]. So, consider this a 'behind
the scenes' extra for the Awards.

Episode 52: 2021 Writers and Illustrators of the Future Awards

I can't believe this podcast has lasted 50 episodes, nor that it's been going
strong since (technically) 2013. The past 8 years and 50 episodes have been
varied, and also sporadic. I discuss the history of the podcast, the current
situation with COVID, and my thoughts on where I want it to go in the future.

Episode 51: Contents May Vary

Jody Lynn Nye is a fantasy and science fiction writer that has been active since
1987. I met her thanks to the Writers and Illustrators of the Future Awards,
where she's been a judge since 2016. She has over 40 books and 120 short stories
published, and is still going strong.
We talk about the contest, her writing inspirations, and more.

Episode 50: Writer Jody Lynn Nye

I first was introduced to the artwork of the artist known as Another Well Kept
Secret thanks to Tumblr and Sherlock. Her artwork shows a stylized humanity with
very animated features - and she has a romantic flair that shows that love is
indeed at the heart of everything she does.
Her real name is Kelley and she's from Tennessee. She's been on my list to
interview for a while, but got bumped up partially because she's been upping her
commissions to help offset the current economic downturn the virus has caused so
many. We talk about her art, her being open about her asexuality, and her
interest in Sherlock Holmes and Good Omens.

Episode 49: Another Well Kept Secret Exposed

Alex DeVore is a culture editor for the Santa Fe Reporter. Additionally, Alex is
the guitarist for the punk band Fibber: he's played music for over 20 years, but
Fibber is a relatively new creation. We talk about his writing, why he plays
(and plays punk specifically), and gaming as a medium and art form.

Episode 48: Alex De Vore is a Fibber

While living in Kansas City, I volunteered with the all-volunteer performing
arts magazine KC Stage. We covered not only theatre, but any of the performing
arts -- which included the surprisingly strong independent film scene (partially
thanks to the, and faculty member Kevin Wilmott).
Additionally, I also (unsurprisingly) participated in a lot of geeky and sci fi
activities and helped out with the all-volunteer website SciFi4Me.
So, when I heard Kansas City native Sav Rodgers had made a documentary in
connection to a TED Talk about the movie Chasing Amy, I was understandably
confused as to whether I knew him thanks to KC Stage or SciFi4Me. The thing is:
I don't think we ever actually met in person prior to this interview.
I interview him about his TED Talk, being a queer filmmaker, and connecting to
Kevin Smith. Head's up: there is some minor cursing in this episode.

Episode 47: Sav Rodgers Chases 'Chasing Amy'

Back in February, I attended my second Gallifrey One convention here in Los
Angeles. While there, I managed to snag 30 minutes of time with animator and
artist Alisa Stern, the woman behind the YouTube web series Doctor Puppet. We
talk about what got her into animation, why she chose to do a Doctor Who-based
series, and what's next on her plate now that she's decided to wrap it all up.
