Podcast Picks with Jim The Podcast Sherpa

Pardon the pun, but we go a bit off the beaten true crime path with this episode. But it's just as heavily researched as much as the other books that have been featured on here, I promise! Imagine, sorting through so many murder cases to decide which locations would ultimately be in a book, along with fascinating information. johnny (intentional lower case, by the way) does a great job of compiling this, along with some fascinating stories and quotes in this interview.

A rebroadcast of a 2020 Halloween show in August of 2025? Are you mad, Sherpa? Honestly, if you need a response to that? It's pretty much Halloween most of the year for Jennifer and Maxwell, anyway. And while "Odd Tonic" is no more, please check out Jennifer's spooky pod, "I Talk To Ghosts"__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Asking Maxwell or Jennifer if they have ghost stories to share for Halloween is kind of like asking Kardashians if they have any pictures of themselves. (Of COURSE they do!) I do miss my episodes of Odd Tonic in their absence, so I'm looking forward to hearing their Halloween special as well. If you'd like to get to know the "Paranormal Pair" a little more, check out my earlier interview with them. There are supernatural tales in that one, too! Also check out their Facebook page, which has an incredibly loyal following. I think I have a loyal following. Being blocked is good, right?

Money! I'll bet you never really thought about how your emotions were tied to your finances, and in more ways than you imagine. Shannon is a long-time advocate for financial literacy, who explores the relationship with your money and emotions in her book, "Your Money Has Feelings". You can get past all of the emotional baggage to buy more baggage (um, sorry, I meant luggage) and live a financially-confident life. You're already off to a good start, listening to a free podcast. Just don't get carried away,driving off in a car that you thought was free because there wasn't a price tag on it. Especially the ones that say "POLICE" on it. (Who knew?)

A few months ago (early 2025), Bruce released a book titled "It Seemed Like A Bad Idea at the Time", chronicling some of the craziest projects he's worked on. Which, I assure you, is just as funny, if not way more, than the interview here, from 2020. Definitely, one of my favorites...SO much laughing on this one!_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What an honor and a treat to spend some time with Bruce Villanch! Bruce had so many great stories to share about his career. The guy has worked with a "Who's Who" of Hollywood, in one way or another, and a story to go with it. I could have covered more, but I didn't want it to take up the actual 7 hours I told him it would take. He even know of my town where I live! By the way, as an audio note, unfortunately, an echo pops in here and there. throughout the interview Sorry, my brain is literally THAT empty.....Except when I'm wondering "What do you get a Wookie for Christmas, When He Already has a Comb?"That's Season 4, Rebels! Next week, the Post Mortem... guess what happens in Season 5? Then, the Halloween special on....October 31st, of course! THEN Season 5 with "Sports Week!"Follow the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram at @Sherpalution, and check out my website, sherpalution.com , for older episodes, Sherpa Sheets, and Spotify playlists.

Definitely a change of pace, as far as true crime episodes are concerned! Jonathan has lived an interesting life and has brought some truly fascinating and thrilling works to the reading public. Apologies for me sounding like I got electrocuted during the interview. (I didn't...it was after the interview.) But this story of Greg Scarpa is the stuff movies are made of, and I'm glad I got to talk to Jonathan about it. Thanks for coming on the show, Jonathan!Here's the Amazon link to Jonathan's work:https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Jopnathan+Dyer&crid=IYU023TXVLI4&sprefix=jonathan+dyer%2Caps%2C114&ref=nb_sb_noss_2You can learn more about Jonathan and his work here or here .

These days, Stacey has been involved in lots of entrepreneurial work, and some fan sites, some even involving Cedric the Entertainer. (Hey Cedric, I watch your show, why don't you come on mine? Is it that "lack of talent image" I project? Um, fair enough.....)______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Haha! I like how Stacey said that I gave her "the best introduction ever." But she's so worthy of a great intro. She's lead an interesting life with her own collection of lows and highs in her life. How many people get out of a life of pill addiction to become successful? (Ok, you can't count the guy in the "My Pillow" commercial.) Stacey told me that one of these days, she wants to have lunch with me and "our meeting interrupter" (you'll get it when you listen) for lunch one of these days...I'm holding her to it! Besides, who doesn't like a free lunch? What do you mean "there's no such thing as a free lunch." ? Who told you that? The My Pillow guy?I hope that you've enjoyed this week's lineup of shows featuring women. Next week, the theme is "What are you, A Comedian?" This will lead up to our finale with the amazing Bruce Villanch. And let us not forget the upcoming Halloween special!Follow the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram at @Sherpalution, and check out my website, sherpalution.com , for older episodes, Sherpa Sheets, and Spotify playlists.

"Calling Old Hollywood" called it quits in 2024, but there are a lot of fascinating back stories to be heard on this one. And the back stories on Kat, too!!__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Ok, Rebels, you heard the story right- Kat jammed with Green Day when she was 11! ELEVEN years old. When I was 11, the only jam I ever got close to, was the stuff that spilled on my lap. So, I guess it's no surprise that she's such a fan of old Hollywood movies. Kat appreciates the past but can look toward the future. Plus, she was such an incredible guest. She's got an interesting perspective on what makes classic Hollywood truly memorable. Check out her podcast to find out more. Oh, and look for her music online. Really good stuff, too! Thanks so much for coming on the show. Kat! We've got another episode tomorrow, featuring Stacy Toy!Kat's info: Website: callingoldhollywood.com , Facebook: @CallingOldHollywood; Twitter: @cohpod; Instagram: @callingoldhollywoodKat's Faves: You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes, Heart Wisdom with Jack KornfieldSherpa Suggestions (Podcasts about Classic Hollywood)Calling Old HollywoodYou Must Remember This PodcastOld Hollywood RealnessClassic Hollywood MTC PodcastsThe Hollywood ReadAny Ladle's Sweet That Dishes Out Some GravyThe Three Stooges ThrowbackFollow the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram at @Sherpalution, and check out my website, sherpalution.com , for older episodes, Sherpa Sheets, and Spotify playlists.

You can still hear new episodes of "The Jeff Dwoskin Show",by the way. So have a listen to an earlier chat that I got to have with "Michigan's Favorite Son*" (*Not officially verified).!Welcome to 3 days of comedy related podcasts! And this was a SML (so much laughing) week for your Sherpa. But once you hear these interviews, I'm guessing you'll cut me a little slack? Anyway, we kick things off with Jeff Dwoskin. A little background: I asked Jeff if he was from Michigan, without noticing his Detroit Tigers hat and Michigan State tee shirt. To which he replied that "my detective skills were impeccable." I wholeheartedly agree! (That explains the whole "Pride of Michigan" reference in the interview.) But you'll see that Jeff is very funny and a lot of fun, and you should check out his show, and his comedy videos on YouTube. No wonder why he's got over 40,000 followers on Twitter. Which includes 1 Podcast Sherpa!Jeff's Info: Podcast: The Jeff Dwoskin Show, Twitter: @bigmacher, @jeffdwoskinshow; website: jeffdwoskinshow.comJeff's Faves: Think Business with John Dwoskin; The Sal and Bob Show; Coffee with Kenobi, The Jeff Dwoskin ShowSherpa Suggestions (Comedy Podcasts:) Here's the link to that article I referred to: https://www.thegamer.com/comedy-podcasts-best-ranked/Anna Faris Is UnqualifiedGuys We F****dYo, Is This Racist?How Did This Get Made?My Favorite MurderThe Dollopmy Brother, My Brother, and MeMy Dad Wrote A Porno2 Dope QueensComedy Bang!
