Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know author Stephen Jimenez. Stephen was a screenwriter who went to Laramie, Wyoming in search of enough information to write a screen play about the tragic and gruesome murder of Matthew Shepard. What he found instead were enough bread crumbs to start his own investigation into what REALLY happened that October night in 1998. In this episode we chat about what made Stephen want to be a writer, and why he initially went to Laramie. We also talk about some of the details and information that he uncovered, and some of the things that were reported incorrectly, if at all in this highly sensationalized story.
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Rich Banks. Rich is a voice over artist, and musician maybe best known for all of the funny parody songs that he has done for The Adam Carolla Show for the better part of 20 years. In this episode we chat about how he got started in music, and how he transitioned into voiceover and what inspired his foray into parody songs. We chat about how he got involved with the good folks over at Carolla Digital, and finally he lets me play his absolute favorite one of those parody songs!
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Christie Bishop. Fans of the Adam Carolla Show know Christie as Bald Bryan’s wife; but in this episode we get to know more about HER. Christie has been in the advertising business for nearly 2 decades, and has worked on some pretty big campaigns; including a Super Bowl spot! In this episode, we talk about those things as well as her fantastic new (ish) podcast: Commercial Grade, where she talks with industry insiders and answers those nagging questions like: ‘how much do insurance companies spend on advertising’, ‘who does the voice for that commercial I just saw’, and of course, ‘why in the hell would they do that in an ad?’ Christie also shares the story of Bryan’s diagnosis from HER perspective. Some really great insight, and some never before told stories…. so ENJOY!
