True life adventures of my real true life.
52 Podcast Interviews #10 – Tiff Gravel
Of all the interviews I’ve done so far, this is the one that has impacted me the most. I met Tiff Gravel while working on Leslie Carrara-Rudolph’s Wake Up Your Weird stage show. I knew she was a funny and hardworking creative individual and I also know she had been to Africa. But it was this interview that really wowed me when I found out WHY she’d gone to Africa. Then to find out why she went back and the things that happened to her there, the least of which was getting Malaria…three times!
This interview is really exemplifies why I wanted to do this project. To learn more about my friends and the incredibly fascinating lives they lead. I was also excited that Tiff is someone you can truly call an ‘adventurer.’ It seems that’s a word we don’t get to use that often anymore.
Please give this interview a listen if you haven’t already It is so much fun and very moving.

52 Podcast Interviews #09 – Stephanie Erb
Sorry I’ve been a bit behind in updating these blog posts with the interviews. I’ll try to catch up. (This is what you need to subscribe to the podcast – see below – you won’t need me to tell you there’s a new episode out!)
Stephanie Erb is an actress who has probably been in one or more of your favorite television shows. Weeds, True Blood, Ray Donovan, 24 and more! She also had a featured role in the film Starship Troopers! Stephanie knows acting.
I met Stephanie when she was a guest performer with my improv troupe and we’ve been friends ever since. We even did a play together a few years ago. This was a fun interview, not only because Stephanie is a friend, but because she is the very definition of a working actor. It was a lot of fun to get her perspective on the Hollywood machine.
Give the interview a listen and let me know what you think.

52 Podcast Interviews #07 – Kate Danley
When I decided I wanted to have a, sort of, inspirationally creative slant to it, I knew I’d have to ask Kate Danley to be a guest. I’m not 100 % sure, but I believe Kate and I met during an improv class and stayed in touch since. I’ve always been so impressed with her ‘do it yourself’ approach to creativity and I think you will be to. She is truly someone who has paved her own way in the world of the creative arts, turning a self published book into a whole living that now allows her to travel the world and write. There’s a lot of great creative advice in this episode, so I hope you’ll give it a listen.
Once you do listen, be sure to let me know what you thought. And if you have an idea of someone I should interview, let me know. I’d prefer them to be in the Southern California area so the sound quality is good, but I can try some remote interviews as well. Thanks for listening!

52 Podcast Interviews #06 – Molly Fite
I met Molly Fite while working as a teaching assistant for the Jim Henson Company’s Diversity Training program last summer. Her ‘out of left field’ sense of humor instantly made me laugh.
I remember one night, the class was doing an exercise where their puppets were in a dance club and they were to come towards camera in pairs and improvise a few lines and then move off so the next pair could go. We had loud music pumping to set the atmosphere and when Molly and her partner came towards the camera, Molly’s puppet yells over the music, “Hey! You wanna go kill a guy?!” I lost it. So funny and a perfect representation of Molly’s sense of humor.
It was a lot of fun to sit down with Molly and learn a more about her from her background in theatre, her stand up comedy career, improv and her first forays into puppetry. This is a fun interview that I think you will enjoy.
Give the show a listen and let me know what you think of it after you do. I always appreciate the feedback.
