Chris Crespo of Cinema Crespodiso and PFT Media is back! We discuss podcasting, movie news, and much more. It’s a great episode for your ears.

There’s a little bit of snark in the shirts and other products from Swan City Orlando, so it should come as no surprise to get some of that same sense of humor in this episode with Andrew Chang. As the CSO (Chief Swan Officer), he is the brains and brawn behind the bird-based business.

Get educated on the finer points of teaching, improv, and more on this episode of Odd Numbers featuring Jillian McManus. She teaches at a local middle school, and she does improv all over. That’s professional improvised shows, and she also just improvs real life too. Like we all do.

Enjoy this episode with Kris Zara. Not because I told you to, but because she’s really funny and gracious. Along with being a nursing student, parent, and many other nouns, she’s a regular performer in Black Cow Jumps, an experimental theater project here in central Florida.

Author Rebecca Renner is on this episode of To a Certain Degree. While she doesn’t just write about Florida, she’s passionate about the environment and the sometimes inaccurate portrayal of the sunshine state and its residents. Listen as we discuss that, plan an Instagram petting zoo, and her journey to becoming a writer.

It doesn’t, and it wasn’t, but Nicole Dupre is celebrating two years as the creative director of Opera del Sol. The non-profit is her love letter to a genre that typically doesn’t get a lot of love, and she’s learned a lot about how tenacious you have to be to keep things rolling. Enjoy!

Right brain. Left brain. Why choose? Examples of artists who can math and engineers who write music abound, so let’s get rid of this limiting labeling system.
