Podcast Picks with Jim The Podcast Sherpa
A Murder Case Unearths a WEB of Crime! With Authors Burl Barer & Frank C Giradot,Jr.!
This was a wild one, Rebels! An unnoticed murder gets re-examined, exposing more crime than anyone expected! Fortunately, Burl and Frank are here to walk all of us through it. and the last 6 years of their hard work resulted in "Where Murder Lies: Death and Deception in West Hollywood", which is the topic of today's episode. These guys know all of the players in this story involving the Russian Mafia, financial crimes, gold smuggling,drug dealing, "All's Fair" watching...oops sorry, I threw that last one in. But it's a tale that has to be heard (and of course, read) to be believed! Thanks so much to the guys for coming on the show...hopefully, we'll do it again!

7. Communication Coach/Podcaster Dr. Andrea Wojnicki("Talk About Talk")
35:58||Season 6, Ep. 7Happy to report that you can still catch new episodes of "Talk About Talk" and get Andrea's help , if you want to become a better communicator. Not too long ago, we did a second interview, which was also a "Listen To This!" episode, if you'd like to hear her podcast. I'm still listening!!________________________________________________________________________________________________This episode was just too much fun! I think Dr. Andrea and I were laughing about 15 minutes before we started recording, and 20 minutes after her interview. No small surprise, she's a wonderful conversationalist with a great sense of humor. I told her beforehand to just have fun, and did we ever! It's funny-I tend to shy away from business podcasts, because so many turn into that big ad for "Make A Million Dollars By Selling Old Socks.But "Talk About Talk" is such a FAR cry from that. You'll love Andrea's delivery. Plus, you'll feel a lot smarter afterward, too. This is a highly recommended podcast from your sherpa (meaning, me!) Thanks for coming on, Andrea-I'll be waiting for that clay!Andrea's Info: Website: https://talkabouttalk.com/ ;Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreawojnicki/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TalkingAboutTalk Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2512948625658629Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingabouttalk/? @talkingabouttalk; Twitter:@dr_wojAndrea's Faves: “Ask Pat 2.0”, The School of Podcasting , Hidden Brain, The Pivot.Sherpa Suggestions( Business Podcasts and Irish Podcasts)thebalancesmb.comThe IndicatorThe Biz ChicksBrown AmbitionMind Your Business PodcastEntrepreneurs on FireHow I Built This with Guy RazRise and GrindHBR IdeacastThe $100 MBALearn Irish and Other LanguagesIrish Illustrated.com InsiderIrish Times: Inside PoliticsThe Irish PassportTotally IrishThe Irish and Celtic Music PodcastIrish on TapIrish Sports Daily PodcastMurder Most IrishPlease tune in tomorrow, for my conversation with David Ogman (www.savingjordan.org) and learn how you can help save his 5-year old son's life.

15. An "On Purpose" chat with Artist/Writer Steve Chapman("Creative Adventures-An Accidental Podcast")!
37:27||Season 15, Ep. 15How great was it to get an email from a fascinating artist with a podcast to promote? Sure beats those emails that I get from people who tell me that they love my book! (Spoiler alert:I've never written a book. Unless they've stolen my coloring books from the Sherpa Chalet.) So, Steve had literally walked the equivalent of 13 miles, while there was a snowstorm brewing on Mount Podcastia (It's winter here; it's a mountain. You can do the math.), which created an interesting atmosphere for an interview.HIs podcast is unique, and very well done. And please check out the COOL artwork on his website (listed below). Both provide a lot of interesting reaction. Nothing spooky, I promise. BTW, I found out that Podcastia doesn't have the birds that Steve was referring to.But you know, my birthday IS coming up, you know. Maybe they can be trained to deliver pizza to me? Anyway, thanks so much, Steve, for coming on the show!Steve's faves: Philosophize This!

6. World Traveller/Podcaster Gary Arndt ( "Everything Everywhere Daily Podcast")!
41:40||Season 6, Ep. 6Happy to report that Gary is still travelling, AND releasing new episodes of "Everything Everywhere Daily Podcast"! As for my travels, well I hate to brag, but I''ve finally found the shed at the Sherpa Chalet. Jealous??______________________________________________________________________________________________-It's fun when I do a little stalking, er, recon, , ummmm....research, on my guests and find out lots of interesting things about them. So, if you're a travel lover, check out Gary's website (listed below) for great pictures, fascinating blogs, and oh yes, a podcast or two! The only way I'll ever get to all 7 continents is by holding a globe in my hands. But Gary is a guy who put his home life behind him, and learned to live out of a suitcase to explore what the world has to offer. My dream destination? Right now, it's the bathroom, because I think I drank a bit too much Mister Pibb while typing this. Curse you, sippy cup!

5. Tiago of "Podcast Overhaul"!
39:30||Season 6, Ep. 5Alas, no new episodes of "Podcast Overhaul", but it was quite the honor to be a featured podcast on Tiago's app. So as an honoree, I ask you to check out this episode! How many podcasters do you know with their own podcast, and a podcast app to go with it? That many? Wow, I've got to get out more...But I digress. I enjoyed talking with Tiago about this "casting of pods" world. I strongly recommend his app too. Very simple to use.(Plus, this show is on it!) If I was listening to "Podcast Overhaul "before launching my own show, I'm sure my forehead wouldn't have as many dents, from banging it against the keyboard! Live and learn, as they say. (Who is "they" anyway?)

13. Beyond the Headlines: John Hinckley, Jr.("Who I Really Am")
24:55||Season 15, Ep. 13Before I interviewed John, or his co-author Jason Norman, I emailed them to let them know that the purpose of my interview was not to re-try the incident of March 30, 1981, nor was this a podcast with a political agenda. (If you read the book, politics didn't play a part in the assassination attempt on President Reagan, anyway) All I asked for was a conversation about the book,and nothing more. Both of them were kind enough to grant me that. Obviously, those of you who have listened long enough know that I'm no lawyer, psychologist, or political pundit. But this is what I do. I've always said the stories I bring to this podcast will likely appeal to different emotions. This is one of those episodes that will likely provoke different reactions from different people. I'm proud to say that I've always made the decisions about what goes into my podcast, and one thing I keep out is hate. I didn't hear any hate in John's voice, nor in his words, and if there was, this episode wouldn't exist. I guarantee you that. I respect your opinions as listeners of this podcast if you feel otherwise about this interview, but having read "Who I Really Am" and spoken to the authors, I was able to learn more about this brief, horrific incident, and the remorse of the man who put it into motion. John, thanks for coming on the show.Here's the link to "John Hinckley Jr.: Who I Really Am": https://tinyurl.com/252ztlg8 .Catch "Sherpa Selects" on Saturdays.

3. Violinist/Podcaster Casey Bozell ("Keep Classical Weird")!
40:01||Season 6, Ep. 3You've probably surmised that my comment on this episode would have been. "This was a fun one." Well...of COURSE it was! Sadly there aren't too many new episodes out of this podcast, but check out the back catalog to be amazed and entertained. Because, I DID say that this was a fun one!_____________________________________________________________________________________Yes, Rebels, this episode truly is a Season 6 favorite. Nothing like learning and laughing at the same time. Casey's podcast is a unique look at the world of classical music. And she's the first to come armed to a Sherpa interview with a violin. (If only my kazoo wasn't at the shop being tuned. Or kicked. Or something like that.) So as you can see, nothing to be intimidated by when it comes to classical music. Except maybe falling into that kettle drum. Or having a music stand hurled at me like it was Thor's hammer. But apart from that, it's worry-free. Thanks so much to Casey for such a fun interview!!Casey's info: Website: keepclassicalweird.com ,Instagram, Facebook: @keepclassicalweird; Twitter @caseybozellCasey's faves: Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour, Trilloquy, Classically Black PodcastSherpa Suggestions(Classical Music Podcasts):Keep Classical WeirdThe Classical Music PodcastExplore the SymphonyThe NACOcastClassical BreakdownClassical PerformanceThe Great Composers PodcastDiscovering Classical MusicDecomposed with Jade SimmonsFollow the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram at @Sherpalution, and check out my website, sherpalution.com , for older episodes, Sherpa Sheets, and Spotify playlists.

12. Dark Family Secrets: Author Frank Stanfield ("Murder In The Graveyard: A Family Cult Tragedy")!
34:29||Season 15, Ep. 12We hear unusual stories about some of the things that happen in Florida, and Frank has been reporting on a lot of these, for quite some time. But this story involving the Anselmo family is one that needs to be read to be believed. You can even hear the incredulousness (was that in my "Word A Day" calendar?) in Frank's voice as he describes some of the events in the interview. And mind you, he was in the courtroom during the murder trial, too! Even though there were no vampires in the Anselmo family, you'll hear the surprising link to a story about a vampire cult. (Also, note that no one turned into a bat during the interview...)
