Joby Harris
Joby Harris (Crash Rickshaw. NASA) left his home in Pennsylvania for Hollywood to follow a dream inspired by Death Stars, Wookies, Droids and the special effects that created them.

Joe Nixon
I had no idea that Slick Shoes drummer Joe Nixon was born in another country. I also didn't know he grew up listening to Engelbert Humperdinck. These are just a few of the shocking revelations from this fun chat with my pal Joe. We also dig in to how he met shredder guitarist Jackson Mould, good...

Kat Jones
My guest this week, Kat Jones (Kat Jones & The Prophets), has found inspiration in everything from the musical Annie to horror movies like Leprechaun and Ginger Snaps. Her personal journey has taken her from Fresno to Oklahoma to Edinburgh to Nashville to Oregon and back - running from the mob,...

36 Days and The City That Is Never Finished
They say that New York is "The City That Never Sleeps" but it's also "The City That Is Never Finished" and the same can be said of me and my trip through this life. I just survived 36 and then some of the most challenging days I have experienced. I am happy to be on the other side, moving…

Death, Life and Musicals
100 Episodes! I know, I can't believe it either. I spent the last month figuring out a way to celebrate or commemorate or something. And, unfortunately I came up empty. So, here's another 17 or so minutes of me ruminating on my life and various "struggles." Thanks for listening! Here's to another...

Sally Grayson
It's a great time to be alive, to be an American...living overseas! I know, Achievers, that not all believe this is a dystopian future we're living in. But people in other countries wonder what we are doing. They really, wonder. Sally, who hails from the magical land of Michigan, is one of those...

Blizzardy
Hello, friends! Beware of Blizzard Stella which is headed our way. It's about to get blizzardy up in here. Is that a word? Probably not. Oh well. Some words about my friends at Love For Kitui, 100 year old security guards, home improvement, self-improvement, improvement improvement. It's only 15...

Jesse Sprinkle
Jesse Sprinkle (Poor Old Lu, Demon Hunter, Dead Poetic, Morella's Forest) is stuck in my mind as a 13-year-old drummer for Bell Bang Villa, a Seattle area band who had recently changed their name to Poor Old Lu. I am still having a hard time accepting that he's now a 40-something husband and…

Just Say No
Hello, dear listeners! Sometimes saying no is just as important as saying yes. Or rather, it's good to say no to the wrong things in your life. I'm trying that out. Also, my new diet of overwork and not eating has me dropping weight like crazy. Support the show! - http://patreon.com/urbanachiever

Bryan Patton
Bryan Patton (The Meltdown, Echo Broke Alone, Something Beautiful Records) has been doing podcasting a lot longer than me. He also thinks it's a good idea to start a record label in 2016, so like a lot of us, he's a mixed bag. I kid! I kid! Speaking of kids, Bryan was the oldest of 8! Sensitive...
