NYCTalking Podcast

You ever talk to a person and think to yourself, this person is as sweet as sugar. That's the feeling I got when I chatted with Gracie Lou Hyland. Her energy was soothing, her voice was soft, and her words were comfort. Meet Gracie Lou, a singer songwriter who was recently on the Hulu show "Claim to fame." Join us as we chat about her music, figure skating and more of her work.

This is an NYCTalking blog post. Nuisance streamer, Johnny Somali may finally be getting what he deserves!

This is a post from the NYCTalking blog. I'm not the guy you are looking for.

I am joined by author of the Last decade of cinema, Scott Ryan. Join us as we discuss the great decade of cinema that was the 90s. We talk Pulp Fiction, crappy superhero films and more!

I am joined by Doug Kari, author of the true crime book, The Berman Murders. Listen in as we talk about that, plus some other horrible crimes that he's covered. We also talk about life. Tune in.

I am joined by MD and author Dr Paul Corona. On this episode he shares with us his medical approach known as the Corona Protocol. Listen in as he details his process in helping people live a happier and healthier life. This was round two as I lost our first interview.

I am joined by Writer, Journalist, Editor, and 75 year old Fitness Enthusiast Marilynn Larkin. Marilynn competes in bodybuilding, she coaches people and is living with and kicking cancer's ass!

On this episode, I’m flying solo and discussing how some meds I was put on brought out the worst traits in me. I couldn’t believe how horrible I felt and the terrible thoughts I had. Listen in to hear more.

Join me on this very entertaining episode with actor Franky Huerta as we talk about the process of film making, how he became an actor, Latino History, and whole bunch of really cool random facts that Franky shares as a self proclaimed history buff.

I am joined by the lovely, multitalented performer Jillian Shea Spaeder. In one of her many projects, she acted in and provided music for the Disney film "Godmothered." She has a film coming out and today she speaks with us about that, her battles with eating disorders, her process for acting and much more.

On this episode I am joined by "The Baxters" star Josh Plasse. We talk about film, TV, growing up with a Navy Seal dad, boxing and much more. Tune in and have a listen!

On this episode we speak with comedian Mike Glazer. He has a new special on youtube called "Life Rules" and it is absolutely hilarious. Mike and I speak about comedy and all manner of mental health as well as a host of other things. I truly enjoyed this interview and it has fast become one of my favs. Please have a listen and enjoy!

I don't often do this, but I simply couldn't tolerate the disrespect. I unfriended someone for enabling their partner to attack and disrespect without cause. It would be different if I deserved it, I wouldn't be happy, but I would take what's coming to me. But this was unwarranted. Next, we ask the question, what would you do if a huge celebrity tried to get with your lady while you were there? As far as I'm concerned, I'd treat it exactly the same way I would if an average Joe tried to pick up my lady. Well, what would you do if she actually said, "It's okay, I'd love to make friends" and offered her number? Finally, a quick update on my struggles with physical and mental health. Culminating with the powerful message: NEVER GIVE UP!

I am joined by Sydney Brett. Sydney is a model and an activist against bullying and runs a non-profit that seeks to educate kids about the same. Please join us and listen in on our conversation. I apologize for my audio, I made a mistake with my mic. I edited this episode so Sydney does most of the talking.

This is by far one of my favorites interviews to date. From the very start of the episode, I felt like I knew Danielle. The conversation flowed organically and it was a great time. Danielle is an actress, business owner, coach and a super cool mom. We talk about her work with JLo, Bosch and much more. Her little boy, Benson also has the acting bug and can be seen on Netflix Griselda with Sofia Vergara. Check this episode out, it was a blast.

Comedian Felicia Madison joins us to talk about her journey in the comedy circuit, mental health, her new youtube special and so much more! Check it out!

Marvel Entertainment Post-Thanos Arc: Marvel's content post-Thanos arc seems to lack the compelling build-up and excitement that characterized the earlier phase. While the current movies and series are decent, they don't quite capture the same level of engagement and anticipation that we experienced during the Thanos storyline. Personal Experiences with Anxiety: With the onset of the New Year, I've been grappling with anxiety, a challenging new journey for me. In navigating this, I've experimented with various medications to find what works best. I'd like to share my experiences and thoughts on this personal journey. Experience with Crisis Hotline: During a particularly tough period, before I had medication and was struggling with sleeplessness, I reached out to a crisis hotline for support. Unfortunately, my interaction with one of the hotline staff members was surprisingly unkind, which was disheartening, especially in such a vulnerable situation. Lack of Support for Air Force Reservists: As a reservist, the transition back to civilian life after boot camp brings to light a significant gap in support from the Air Force, particularly in areas like mental health. This lack of support raises questions about the benefits and recognition reservists receive, considering the sacrifices they are willing to make. Issue with Monroe College's Email Policy: Despite graduating from Monroe College with high honors, I've encountered resistance from their IT department in issuing a professional email address. Their reasoning about maintenance challenges doesn't align with my experience as an IT professional, where creating and managing email accounts is a straightforward task. This policy seems unreasonable, especially given the minimal resources required for such services. Jackie Chan's Interaction with a Fan: As a long-time admirer of Jackie Chan, I was disappointed by our interaction as a fan, where he seemed dismissive and would not engage with me. While I remain a fan of his work, this incident has somewhat altered my view of him.

Once again, one of my favs joins the NYCTalking Podcast. Mars Cross joins us and we talk about all kinds of relationships, coming out of the closet, and more. Tune in for our silly yet informative banter.

The NYCTalking Podcast is back! This time with author, facilitator, and Yoga instructor, Neelu Kaur. I love my conversations with Neelu because they make me a better version of myself. Join us as we discuss her new book "Be your own cheerleader," Tiktok videos, mental health, and more.

On this episode I am joined by the lead singer of Tripping Jupiter, Madstone Rowan. Madstone and I discuss music, creativity, energy as well as LGBTQ+ issues. Join me for this great conversation.
