Podcast Picks with Jim The Podcast Sherpa
Podcaster David Keck ("Surviving Abuse Podcast")!
Season 8, Ep. 9
•
After "Surviving Abuse", David did "True Crime Journal" with Ashlie Lawson, and is currently hosting the "Surviving-ISH" podcast. It's definitely worth a listen!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(Warning: Content Alert) David told me before our interview that he doesn't like to end his episodes in a downbeat manner, and I wondered how he does that. And oddly enough, our conversation, after the interview, ended with a conversation with The Sherpa Bride about soap operas. Well played, sir, well played. This is truly a guy with a powerful will to live, Rebels. The horrific story of his ordeal may be tough to listen to, but, it certainly does not define him. It only enhances his amazing resilience. "Some gay men that I know would have died in that situation...but I was not going to." And the world is that much better because he chose not to. Thanks for a powerful interview, David!

14. Podcaster Esther Brzezinski ("Esther's Breeze")!
43:14||Season 8, Ep. 14Alas, no new episodes of "Esther's Breeze" or "Noon Hour Out of the Box", BUT...if you go on the "Esther's Breeze" YouTube page, you'll get to hear Esther singing . And she's got a great voice, so check it out after you hear this throwback interview!___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Esther may be in her 60's, but she doesn't look it at all. Unlike me, who is 145. But she doesn't think like someone in her 60's. A situation during the pandemic presented itself, and poof! This Canadian entrepreneur was off to the races, um, the podcast. To be honest, I actually had a bad experience with an influencer, which really left a bad taste in my mouth about putting them on this show. But if they're like Esther, come on down to The Sherpa Chalet! Maybe next time she's on, we'll get her to sing the "Batman" theme? Dare to dream, Rebels, dare to dream. Thanks for coming on the show.

13. Podcaster Paul Maglietta ("The Misfit Faction")!
48:25||Season 8, Ep. 13Paul and the guys haven't done any new episodes since 2024, but there are plenty of their classic episodes to check out, if you're a superhero fan. But check out this great conversation!____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Prior to Paul and I having this interview, he asked if I wanted to come on his show. But I'm not a good fit. I thought he meant his show about superheroes. Actually, the only superhero comics I remember watching on TV were "The Mighty Heroes" (Look that one up, ya animation nerds. Diaper Man rules!) But what a fun guest he was. And we share a love of the tv show "Heroes" ( no Diaper Man there, sorry) It's interesting how he turns a fun visit with his friends into a labor of love. Unfortunately, a fun visit with my friends ultimately ends with a visit from the Mount Podcastia S.W.A.T team. (translation: 2 toothless men who can shoot rubber bands.)Plus, I have to pay my friends to stick around. And it's not much, so they don't stay long.

12. CJ and Lorrisa Julianus! ("The Adventures of Mistress Maneater")
38:25||Season 8, Ep. 12I'm sure these 2 have been keeping themselves pretty busy since this very fun interview. I think Lorrisa had a movie out called "Morbid History " in 2025. (?) But if they've got some stuff to promote, hopefully they will pay another visit. Buit look for "The Adventures of Mistress Maneater" on streaming, if you haven't caught it!____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________It's always fun when I have two guests on at once. It's also unique for me when I get to tell said guests, "Hey, I saw your movie!" And the police don't get involved! Such was the case this time around for your Sherpa. Before the interview, we had a lively discussion about New York pizza, versus Chicago pizza . Unfortunately, I couldn't find either one on a map. Curse you, lack of Social Studies skills! But as you will plainly hear, "The Adventures of Mistress Maneater" is clearly not your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy. Which is what CJ and Lorrisa set out to do. And succeeded, unlike me with those Social Studies skills. Having seen it, I can tell you that you're in for a fun ride. And it won't matter how tall you are (well, if you're an adult...)! But this was a fun one with a married couple who truly love what they do. Keep an eye on these two, Rebels...I see more fun rides in the future. Thanks for coming on the show!Follow "The Adventures of Mistress Maneater" on social media (Better yet, watch the movie on Amazon Video or TubiTV!): Next week, it's off to the Misfit Room, for "Too Many Podcasts!" It's a great chat with Paul Maglietta of "The Misfit Faction" podcast network.

16. A Serial Killer and Rapist in 1950's Hollywood, with author Richard Carrico ("Bound To Die")!
22:06||Season 17, Ep. 16It's funny. Whenever I hear about San Diego, I've always heard about the perfect weather. But not so much about its serial killers! If you peruse Richard's work (see the link below), you'll find that his books are available in different genres ,reflecting San Diego's fascinating history. "Bound To Die" is a fascinating read, that really captures the earlier days of Hollywood, and life in the 1950's, so be sure to check it out. Thanks for coming in the show, Richard!Here's the link to "Bound To Die": https://tinyurl.com/2cnj5rg5Please visit Richard's website for this, and more fascinating reads: https://www.pastshadows.net/Programming note: Catch "Sherpa Selects" on Saturdays.

15. "Dangerously Unprepared with Kristian and Andy"...and an unprepared Sherpa!
36:48||Season 17, Ep. 15These 2 guys are lots of fun! So, "The Random Kristian Show" (hold it here for a dramatic pause...we did a "Sherpa Samples" episode where it was featured a few weeks back...did you catch it?) did a rebrand...or do we call it a rebr-"Andy"(?), with a change in format and a new co-host, and here we are today. I really took Kristian's advice to heart with his story about "podcast promoters". Only mine was singing there's trouble, with a capital T, that rhymes with P, that stands for pool. (Note: You have to be older than me to understand that reference.) But, throw 2 radio veterans together and add a mic, and what do you get? Well, if all goes right, you get their podcast, so go check it out for some laughs and interesting chat.

8. Author Joel Carroll ("The Book of Joel")!
44:06||Season 8, Ep. 8I pride myself in getting to do some pretty powerful interviews. Everyone loves a redemption story, and Joel's is a pretty great one. Have a listen to this interview to hear what I'm referring to!________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________(Content warning for this episode.) Perspective. That's the word that kept creeping up in my head for this interview. And for 2 reasons. Reason 1 was me. See, I'm normally a stickler for being on time for interviews. And what happened? The night of our interview, guess who forgot to show up? ME!! Fortunately, Joel was fine with us starting a little late (like 40 minutes!). And he was kind enough to show concern that I was okay, when I wasn't there on time. Reason 2 is more apparent. A guy like Joel who did drugs, drank heavily, and got involved in gangs, now looks back at his former life and the mistakes that came with it. But now he wants to keep others from making those mistakes that he was fortunate to live through, with the release of "The Book of Joel". Have a listen to this interview, and maybe your perspective will change ( or you can change someone's perspective). And thanks for coming by Joel...and for being patient for a certain absent-minded podcast sherpa!Here's the Amazon.com link for "The Book of Joel": https://www.amazon.com/Book-Joel-Carroll/dp/0578687763You can hear this podcast on the Helium Radio Network Fridays at 8:30 AM EDT, on Channel 1, Life Improvement Radio.
