The A-POD-Calypse Now Podcast

A legend in the Louisville hip-hop scene, this episode's guest, Daniel Guess, Jr., breaks down his techniques on style, rapping and parenting. Even if you're not a hip-hop head, this episode has all kinds of "GOODies" to consume. Sit back, relax, and take in the genius that is Thurgood Bartholomew.

The gang gets treated with stories of both working for an agency and running one with the "Flash-Master" Jason Clark. Listen in as Jason spins tales of experimentation, hitting lows and finding ultimate highs (in more than one way) while also finding balance and purpose. And that only scratches the surface!

Our guest this week is the delightfully funny and energetic television personality, Kirby Adams. As an entertainment reporter, Kirby entertains us with stories from hopping trains to the red carpet. And for some reason, an unusual high number of encounters with gentlemen named William. Olympic-sized laughs with this one (you'll understand the reference after listening.)

This week, the gang chats with another creator, Greg Slagle, as they dive into war stories from film school, Hollywood near-misses, and the chaos of directing actual humans on camera. Storytelling, history, creativity, unpopular mustaches, egos - we cover it all. Insightful, unhinged, and very on brand.

A new episode with a cool, special guest - expat Todd Lacy, who returns to home soil from Sydney to cover all things theatrical. We delve into his history with mounting global productions domestically and abroad with a few flashbacks for good measure.

Recorded on Halloween, this episode's content seems very fitting. From murder trials to Tommy Lee's (yes, THAT Tommy Lee) backstage antics, guest Sean Oates treats us with stories from various times in his graphic design career.

On a very special episode... no guest this week but we get some "bro time" in on this one. It's a deep dive into gratitude, mindfulness of our time here and navigating our current world. It may not be our funniest episode but it's a good conversation.

Get ready for storytime, kids. Ben Daughtrey joins the gang on this episode and details the good, the bad, the ugly and the always funny world of a musician and editor deep in the business of show. From squatting in other countries to playing with his band Love Jones on Jimmy Fallon, there's a lot to take in on this one so put your listening switch into the on position.

From humble beginnings of singing himself to sleep, guest Scott Carney tells the tale of becoming a legit musician and filmmaker despite the challenges of naming his band and the dangers of military grade weed. The gang is treated to the origin of The Majestic and how the song made its way into everyone's living room.

David Boone sits down with the gang to talk about current affairs, the craft of filmmaking, his love for sneakers, hip-hop and the early days of his career uncovering family secrets from 8mm film. It's a spicy conversation in the best way possible (and we're not just talking about the bourbon.)

Carrie Foster sits down with the gang to talk about graphic design, costumes and burlesque. Yep, it's that kind of an episode so get comfortable (and maybe a little uncomfortable.) It's a slightly NSFW episode but a VERY fun conversation! You're welcome.

The gang pulls back the curtain to talk about the magic behind movies and television in a fun and informative conversation with visual effects supervisor, Wayne Shepherd. It's also a timely discussion about current events. But don't worry. We still act like idiots so it's a normal episode.

The gang is in a new studio (for now) as they chat with fellow creator Tevan Morton about what it means to be a creative, the future of using AI and the collective love of movies. The nerd level escalates in this one while somehow also feeling like a grown-up conversation... almost.

It's all about Innies and Outies in this episode as we review some of our favorite shows as well as some hot topics. Sever yourself from the real world and hang with the gang for an hour. You'll probably regret it.

Monkeys, skunks and love. The gang somehow makes them all connect as they discuss Valentine's Day, movies and recent current events. No guest on this one but it's just as entertaining as a Bob Seger cover band. It'll all make sense. Trust us.

Nobody's perfect. We had some technical difficulties with our last episode and had to cut some things out from the video. But our egos wouldn't let that recording go to waste so enjoy a little extra time with us and our guest, Ryan McArdle-Jaimes.

Join the gang on a very special holiday episode as they get in the spirit(s) with super-friend Ryan McArdle-Jaimes. A wide range of topics covered as we hit on conspiracies, consumption and the Las Vegas Sphere.

In this episode, we crack open a conversation with Kenny Coleman from the widely popular podcast, Bourbon Pursuit, and co-founder of Pursuit Spirits. We take a deep dive into the world of bourbon and even get to sample some of the delicious treats Kenny brought to the show. Sit back and sip your own favorite cocktail for this one.

The gang talks current conspiracies, some tech talk and we bring in an old studio member, Parker Smith, to share what it’s like being a high school teacher in today’s world. We also talk about his passion for coaching and his insatiable appetite for food and pop culture. And pens!

We finally dilute the stupid - by adding our first guest! Jaclyn Mullin stops by to dive headfirst into the silly. We talk work/family balance, music festivals and strong job interview skills. We also bring to closure an April Fool’s joke that’s been ongoing since April 2022!

Again, lots of topics covered in this one - the emerging EV (electric vehicles) industry and KY-based battery manufacturing, watching the Olympics and Rick’s alter ego, The Deerhunter, was uncovered. We also had a To Catch A Kyle segment update, and the gang gets educated on the new use of a classic term, “raw dogging”.

Grindr? I hardly know her! In episode 2 we talk about big tech going down, the future of AI crowdsourcing content, Archie Bunker’s grandson in a box and customized colostomy bags. We also officially add Cody to the team and share his shady backstory.

It’s the first episode of the A-POD-Calypse Now podcast! Just a few friends getting together to discuss tech, politics, what interests us, what we're consuming, and just random silliness. Always trying to find the funny in whatever we cover - come find some joy in this ever-burning dumpster fire we’re all living through.
