Little Debby - Fantastic Fest '17 Day 3

A free-form discussion about people's passions, media and life.

This podcast covers a wide variety of topics. If it had to be categorized it would be a discussion of all things media. Even discussions I don’t have much interest in, such as video gaming, becomes an insightful listen. Gregory asks great questions, which probably sounds vague. I guess the best way to describe is that the questions are not vague or dull or meant to fill dead air, and they are questions Gregory has a genuine interest in knowing the answer and or response. Also, he has a knack for not going by a script, the episodes have a natural flow, a discussion between friends that just goes where it goes. He recently completed 100 episodes and I believe that episode would be a good start for new listeners, specifically to hear his introduction for that episode, which sums up the show better than I can in written word. I look forward to future episodes.

Great Interviewer

Podcaster, burgeoning stand-up, musician &amp; music lover, KENN EDWARDS, joins me on the show to get down to the deep stuff. We address the love &amp; hate relationship the film community has with filmmaker Kevin Smith and we discuss Kenn's admiration for his idols -- including Smith, "Weird" Al Yankovic and Chris Hardwick -- and the transparency they share with their fans. We touch on Kenn's own show and his recent interview with Yankovic, as well as what shapes people trying to do their own creative thing, and what sets Kenn apart from most: a positive, down-for-anything attitude.
