Shawn’s Picks: Ja’Siah Young.

Hey Streetwalkers. THANK YOU SO MUCH for inspiring me to get to 400 episodes!
As you may have guessed; lm taking March “off” from releasing new episodes.
HOWEVER; all month long, l will be releasing some of my wife’s very favorite episodes, in a “Best Of” style.

So expect a re-release of an older favorite every weekday; with an all new intro from my wife, explaining why she chose each specific episode.

Keep in mind that these are in no particular order, and l’ll be back in April with all new episodes.

Like, follow, subscribe and tell a friend!

Steven Kunes
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know television and film screenwriter, Steven Kunes. In this episode, we chat about how Steven got into writing for Hollywood through a simple, yet sincere, reaching out to one of television’s most iconic and prolific producer-screenwriters. We also get into some of Steven’s writing credits, including: The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, A.K.A. Pablo, Kate & Allie, The Love Boat, Rain Main, Cast Away, and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Then we REALLY get into it. Steven tells me about the time he had some issues in his personal life that led to his losing everything and going to prison. Steven describes these events, and this period of his life as somewhat of a cautionary tale, and he even did a TED Talk about it. Finally, we discuss his new show on Amazon Prime (also released as an audio only podcast), called OVER MY DEAD BODY. Steven explains the premise of the show and we talk about some of the episodes that I listened to that made me subscribe. This is a redemption story, folks; a comeback tale of starting over in the later chapters of his life.

Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know actor and Texas boy Jay Pennington. I was very excited to find out that Jay lives in the same small town as I do, just outside of San Antonio. This is the first episode of Fascination Street recorded in person AT MY HOUSE! It was a lot of fun and I hope you streetwalkers enjoy it too.

In this episode Jay and I chat about his career before he got into acting, (its quite historic actually). We also talk about how he discovered acting and what led him to it. Of course we discuss some of his past and future projects, and along the way Jay gives some advice and a few tips for those who may be just getting started in the acting business. Enjoy!
