Ep 36: Cedric Yarbrough (The Black Version/ Reno 911/ Speechless) In this episode we talk to Cedric Yarbrough, who might be hands down the nicest guy in Hollywood, and what us Jews call a real Mensch. We talk about his love for Musical Theater, his memory of working with Bernie Mac, being razzed by Dustin Hoffman, what it was like to wear a large prosthetic ass, and how he had a dream come true when he got to work with The Muppets. It was such a pleasure for me to get to talk to such a funny, smart, and talented performer. I highly recommend if you are in L.A to check out his live show The Black Version. The Black Version is a completely improvised show that started at the Groundings Theatre in Los Angeles in 2010 to sold out crowds and great reviews. Rolling Stone magazine calls the show “Hot” and the cast a “Comedic A-Team”. LA Weekly says the show is “Red Hot” and “Scores more than its share of belly laughs” while the LA Times calls the show “A Winner”. The all African American cast of regulars includes show creator Jordan Black along with other comedy veterans Cedric Yarbrough, Gary Anthony Williams, Daniele Gaither, Phil Lamar, and Nyima Funk all under the direction of Karen Maruyama. Special guest performers include Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele of Key & Peele (former original cast members), Wayne Brady, Maya Rudolph, Tiffany Hadish, Niecey Nash, Jerry Minor, Angela V. Shelton, Misty Monroe, and others who come and perform in the show from time to time. This talented cast has vast film and television credits ranging from Mad TV and Saturday Night Live, to The Boondocks and Reno 911. The show begins when the director asks the audience to suggest a popular film title and then the cast, right there on the copy, improvise the “Black Version” of that film. The show regularly performs at the Groundlings Theater and the Largo at the Coronet. https://www.theblackversion.com/ Songs used  Richie by BJ Snowden  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bjsnowdenmusic.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ I Never Feel Alone (Instrumental) There Was a Light (Instrumental)  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.stephenbluhm.fun/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Vintage Annals Archive Website  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Jewish Vintage Annals Archive  ⁠https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/the-jewish-vintage-annals-archive---digital-online-archive.html⁠ Please support this project at Patreon! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/VintageAnnalsArchive⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vintageannalsarchive/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interviewed and edited by Richie Wexler Sponsor For info on Risk Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.risk-show.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Info on Kevin's coaching and such ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kevinallison.net⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/support

Mini Episode - Mrs. Mean Teacher Learned Not to Fuck with Momma Bear or her Cub I have known Brian since 2007 or so when they performed in a production of "Rent" I directed in West Philadelphia. I asked them to share a story about a good teacher and a bad one. Let's just say I was not expecting the second story. It's a doozy. Brian is a sweetheart of a man and one of the most authentic people I have ever known. I dedicate this story to all of the parents who ever stood up against a mean teacher for their kid, and for every kid who ever stood up for themselves. I also dedicate this to Risk Podcast and Kevin Allison who created that amazing podcast. I learned that the balls out stories they tell on Risk are the way to go with stories. We are not a strict storytelling podcast, but we do get some amazing stories that our guests share. This is the first one we are sharing as a separate piece. https://www.risk-show.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/risk/id334724074 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/support

Ep 35: David Pasquesi (Actor/improviser) I identify as an empath and I can spot a rare show like Lodge 49 and a rare talent like David Pasquesi's in which everyone is playing at the top of their game, and especially David. I was so impressed by David's authentic performance in Lodge 49 that I had to reach out to him for an interview, and I am very glad I did. We talked about his long and varied improv theater career including his work with with the groundbreaking TJ and Dave, what is was like to be taught by Del Close, why David loves being a Chicago based actor and working with friends like Joel Murray, Amy Sedaris, and Stephen Colbert over the years, and then we just have a very real conversation overall. Please take some time to dig into his past work, and keep an eye out for his amazing work to come. David Pasquesi is an American actor and comedian. His screen credits include Groundhog Day, Strangers with Candy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Return to Me, The Ice Harvest, Veep, At Home with Amy Sedaris, Lodge 49, and The Book of Boba Fett. Pasquesi was born in Chicago and raised in Lake Bluff, Illinois. He graduated from Lake Forest High School. He wrote for Exit 57 and Strangers with Candy, co-wrote and appeared in the Spike TV series Factory, and co-wrote and co-starred in Cop Show. He co-created and co-wrote the new show Merkin Penal. Similarly to his role of "Meat Man Stew" in Strangers With Candy, Pasquesi plays "Knife Man" in At Home with Amy Sedaris. Pasquesi has performed at The Second City, iO Theater, Improv Institute, and studied under Del Close in the early 80s and became part of the first iO Harold team "Baron's Barracudas". He appeared in four mainstage revues at Second City as well as in plays at the Steppenwolf Theatre and the Goodman Theatre. In 2009, he played a supporting role in the Harold Ramis film Year One as the Prime Minister of Sodom. Pasquesi was a cast member in the Chicago premiere of Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage at the Goodman Theatre. Since 2002, he has been performing with T. J. Jagodowski in the all improvised show "TJ and Dave". In 2006 they began an Off Broadway run, performing monthly at The Barrow Street Theatre in New York City. The Chicago Reader has described the show as "an hour of subtle character development, verbal facility, and pantomimic agility that anticipates and plays off the audience's reactions." Guests of the show include August: Osage County's Tracy Letts, Academy Award Nominee Michael Shannon, SNL's Mike O'Brien, and Absinthe's Jet Eveleth. The 2009 South by Southwest Film festival included the documentary Trust Us, This is All Made Up directed by Alex Karpovsky, which chronicles a "T.J. and Dave" performance.

I don’t want to give too much away about this episode except to say Rabbi Gershom shares an amazing story that truly involves a miracle happening, and he and Jay have a truly remarkable friendship that they speak about. This episode is very special. Rabbi Gershom Sizomu, who was ordained at the Zeigler School of Rabbinic Studies in 2007, is the spiritual leader of the 100-year-old Abayudaya ("People of Judah") community of almost 3,000 Jews living in rural villages in Eastern Uganda. He is the grandson of community elder Rabbi Samson Mugombe and lives near the Moses Synagogue in the village of Nabugoya, which he and others from the community’s early 1980s “Kibbutz movement” built with their own hands. His goal has been to gather back together what was left of the Abayudaya community after the devastating reign of Idi Amin Dada ended in 1979. It is readily apparent to those who visit that the Abayudaya endure extremely harsh conditions of African life; yet despite these challenges, they express such joy and gratitude for God, being Jewish, and being part of the collective Jewish people.

Jay held his first All Around This World classes in 2009 in his West Philadelphia living room. Since then, AATW classes have caught on and spread to multiple cities around the world, both “in person” and, in our newly Zoom-friendly age, online. http://www.ExploreEverywhere.com https://allaroundthisworld.teachable.com/ Songs used  Richie by BJ Snowden  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bjsnowdenmusic.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ I Never Feel Alone (Instrumental) There Was a Light (Instrumental)  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.stephenbluhm.fun/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Vintage Annals Arcvie Website  ⁠⁠⁠https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/⁠⁠⁠ Please support this project at Patreon! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/VintageAnnalsArchive⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vintageannalsarchive/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interviewed and edited by Richie Wexler Sponsor For info on Risk Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.risk-show.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Info on Kevin's coaching and such ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kevinallison.net⁠⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/support

Ep 33: Flo Fox (Photographer/Designer/Activist) Flo Fox began her career as a photographer in New York City in 1972. For the better part of her career, Flo Fox has been legally blind, as a result of multiple sclerosis that she contracted when she was thirty. She is Totally disabled from the neck down and has been confined to a wheelchair since 1999, Flo now shoots with an automatic camera and directs friends, attendants or people in the street to take pictures for her. Throughout her career and with an archive of over 130,000 works, Flo photographed various subjects that chronicled the rich ironies of street life in New York City. Flo Fox’s work is in the permanent collection of Brooklyn Museum and the Smithsonian. Flo Fox has also been interviewed on several talks shows including Regis and Kathy Lee and Tom Snyder. During the early 80s she hosted her own show called the Foto Flo Show, interviewing other photographers such as Ruth Orkin and Ralph Gibson on their work and their creative methods. Riley Hooper made a short documentary film,  FLO which was featured in The New York Times in 2013. Flo Fox is an advocate for the disabled and has taught  photography class for the blind and visually impaired students at the Lighthouse for the Blind. Despite blindness, multiple sclerosis, and lung cancer, photographer Flo Fox continues to shoot the streets of New York City and never goes anywhere without her camera. Flo Fox is the coolest person, artist, photographer, activist, designer you probably have never heard of. We talk about her early career making costumes for Broadway productions in the 1970's including "A Chorus Line". We talk about her Dicthology Project in which between the 1970's and 1990's she took creative Polaroids (with film Polaroid gave her) of penises all the men who entered her apartment over 23 years. (Vintage Annals will be putting out this book by late September) I want to be clear that neither Flo nor I want anyone to think her life, or this episode, is meant to be Inspiration Porn in any way. Flo would be ok with the porn part as she has always been a sex positive photographer and artist, and even did a Playboy shoot in 1976 that she designed and photographed. Flo has also been an activist and fought for the rights of disabled people for years. Lastly she is one of the funniest, and at times, raunchiest 77 year old jewish females I have ever met, which is also why I enjoy interviewing her for this episode, and why I am working with her now. When Flo is out taking photos with an assistant and when she needs the lens to zoom, she asks her assistant to give it a hard on. Please enjoy. I want to thank Karen Gottfired to connecting me to Flo when I was looking for folks to interview about Arlene's work.  I want to thank Gigi at 2 by 2 media for committing to support their work at twobytwomedia. They will be putting out zines and books of Flo's work.   I want to thank Flo herself for working on this with me.  For more info on Flo Fox https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/flo-fox-69-project.html Flo Fox's Youtube Page www.youtube.com/@flofox9831 VAA Sponsored Flo Fox's 69 Fotos Instagram Page and Website  https://www.instagram.com/flofox69fotos/ www.vintageannalsarchive.com/flo-fox-69-project.html Two by Two Media  Instagram and Website  www.instagram.com/twobytwomedia/ www.twobytwomedia.org/flo-fox/ Songs used  Richie by BJ Snowden  ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bjsnowdenmusic.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ I Never Feel Alone (Instrumental) There Was a Light (Instrumental)  ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.stephenbluhm.fun/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Vintage Annals Arcvie Website  ⁠⁠https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/⁠⁠ Please support this project at Patreon! ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/VintageAnnalsArchive⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vintageannalsarchive/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interviewed and edited by Richie Wexler Sponsor For info on Risk Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.risk-show.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Info on Kevin's coaching and such ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kevinallison.net⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/support

Bonus Content Fork Instagram and Meta for Censorship and Targeting of Accounts with Diverse and Liberal Content I’m done with the censorship on Instagram (Meta). I’m not quitting but I’m fighting. I also started a copy feed of this page on my website in case I finally get my account removed. The policies automatically remove any content based on key words out of context, and do this whenever reported. This opens up the ability for trolls to shut down LGBTQIA+, BIPOC content, and more. This is the same censorship happening in Tennessee and Florida to try to remove the history and stories of these communities. See the top of my bio linktree link to see what I’ve dealt with. Looking for folks to chat with for a podcast episode, organize with. DM or email me vintageannalsarchive@gmail.com This is a rant! based on the above!

Ep 29: Kilynn Lunsford (Musician) Philadelphia’s Kilynn Lunsford had been conceiving her first solo album since she was a young teen. Growing up through the MTV era of Missy Elliot, Timbaland and the Swing Mob collective, and drawn towards its “sometimes ridiculous, but overloaded” qualities, she found herself returning to that state of emerging adulthood when the moment for a solo record finally arose. Written over four years, drafted during long car rides from work, hewn out first thing in the morning or last thing at night ‘Custodians'…is Lunsford’s first work since the dissolution of her former project, noise-punk outfit Taiwan Housing Project in 2021. Being now uninhibited by the democratic needs of a band writing and jamming in the practise-room, choosing to ‘go solo’ liberated her song building process. While some arrangements would be hammered out for weeks, sometimes it was a loose, “off-the-cuff” take that could make the final cut: “Wanting to combine irreconcilable elements”, Lunsford explains, “we would set up for hours and then do one take, always allowing for the aleatoric to come through”. Embellishing this collage, more ornately still, are Lunsford’s caustic lyrics, packed as they are with a potent blood-stream of unflinching surrealism and discomfiting satire. Impacted by her experiences as Healthcare Union Organiser working through a pandemic, and as a sufferer of an autoimmune disorder with no healthcare coverage, a festering anger boils at the album’s core. ‘Custodians’ sits in this malicious context: the growth of right wing politics in the U.S; the emergence of authoritarian neoliberalism as an outgrowth of Third Way liberalism's fundamental inability to solve extreme economic inequality. Little wonder how, from all this, comes a record of commensurate disturbance, and brilliant intriguing.   https://evernever-records.bandcamp.com/album/custodians-of-human-succession https://www.instagram.com/kilynn.lunsford/ Hosted, Researched, and Edited by Richie Wexler  Songs used  Richie by BJ Snowden  ⁠⁠⁠https://bjsnowdenmusic.com/⁠⁠⁠ I Never Feel Alone (Instrumental) There Was a Light (Instrumental)  ⁠⁠⁠https://www.stephenbluhm.fun/⁠⁠⁠ Vintage Annals Arcvie Website  ⁠https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/⁠ Please support this project at Patreon! ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/VintageAnnalsArchive⁠⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vintageannalsarchive/⁠⁠⁠ Interviewed and edited by Richie Wexler Sponsor For info on Risk Podcast ⁠⁠⁠https://www.risk-show.com⁠⁠⁠ Info on Kevin's coaching and such ⁠⁠⁠https://kevinallison.net --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/support

Ep 27: Amos Poe (Punk and No-Wave Filmmaker) Amos Poe is one of the leading figures of the No Wave Cinema movement (75-85) that grew out of the bustling East Village music and art scene. The No Wave paralleled the punk music explosion and included Jim Jarmusch, Abel Ferrara, Eric Mitchell, James Nares, Beth and Scott B, Vivienne Dick, Sara Driver, John Lurie, Richard Kern, Nick Zedd, Bette Gordon, Melvie Arslanian, Charlie Ahearn, among others - they embraced B-movie genres, the avant-garde, & the French New Wave to create a fresh, vibrant American art cinema.

You can find out more about him at his website.   http://www.amospoe.com/cv.html HELP AMOS! HE HAS A RARE FORM OF CANCER Filmmaker Amos Poe was recently diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer that has left him too weak to continue working. Following a recent barrage of testing, a treatment plan is finally coming together. His family and friends are hoping for the best while knowing the road to recovery will be a long and grueling one. The costs of care and testing leading up to treatment have been astronomical, even with insurance. The treatment itself and the aftercare will be nearly insurmountable without all of our help. https://www.gofundme.com/f/amos-poe-is-our-friend-and-now-he-needs-all-of-us Hosted, Researched, and Edited by Richie Wexler  Songs used  Richie by BJ Snowden  ⁠⁠https://bjsnowdenmusic.com/⁠⁠ I Never Feel Alone (Instrumental) There Was a Light (Instrumental)  ⁠⁠https://www.stephenbluhm.fun/⁠⁠ Please support this project at Patreon! ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/VintageAnnalsArchive⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vintageannalsarchive/⁠⁠ Interviewed and edited by Richie Wexler Sponsor For info on Risk Podcast ⁠⁠https://www.risk-show.com⁠⁠ Info on Kevin's coaching and such ⁠⁠https://kevinallison.net --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/support

Ep 26: Jayden Libran (Puppeteer/Voice Actor/Collector) In my opinion, Jayden Libran has been a prodigy since he was a child and into his teenage years in terms of his voice and puppetry talents. At 24 he has already been involved in a few Muppet projects including the Brian Henson directed “The Happytime Murders”, as well as performed with Brian Henson’s “Puppet Up” improv live show. Jayden has also done voiceover work  for “Duncanville”, and the “Beavis and Butthead” reboot. He has been a puppeteer in music video projects with Bad Bunny and Chris Stapleton. He has one of the largest Muppet based collection I have ever seen that he started when he was 4 years old. In this episode we talk about a famous relative of his, how he got into collecting, meeting Eric Idle, and his connections to and working with Brian Henson and Kevin Clash. He is a rising star and someone to watch. He has accomplished so much at such a young age and his star will only rise. Lastly if work for the Simpsons please hire him as he can do so many different characters in a description that only Mr. Burns could put as being “excellent”.     Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/j.libran98/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@jaydenlibran98 Hosted, Researched, and Edited by Richie Wexler Songs used  Richie by BJ Snowden  ⁠https://bjsnowdenmusic.com/⁠ Never Feel Alone (Instrumental) There Was a Light (Instrumental) ⁠https://www.stephenbluhm.fun/⁠ Please support this project at Patreon! ⁠https://www.patreon.com/VintageAnnalsArchive⁠ Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/vintageannalsarchive/⁠ Interviewed and edited by Richie Wexler Sponsor For info on Risk Podcast ⁠https://www.risk-show.com⁠ Info on Kevin's coaching and such ⁠https://kevinallison.net --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaapod/support

Ep 25: Jamel Shabazz (Photographer) featuring Karim Brown At a time when they are trying to erase black history education in this country, I have the honor of sharing a podcast episode of one of the greatest living photographers of the past 100 years, Jamel Shabazz. We will be focusing on his new book (among others things) "Albums" which if you haven’t gotten it, please do. It’s $50 and well worth it. No matter what they do in terms of trying to erase black stories and black history, they’ll never be able to erase the work and important archive of Jamel Shabazz! His book "Albums" is literally a Black History Textbook in a huge sense. This book features selections from over a dozen albums, many previously unseen, and includes his earliest photographs as well as images taken inside Rikers Island, all accompanied by essays that situate Shabazz’s work within the broader history of photography. Last thing I’ll say is that Jamel is honestly one of the most compassionate, spiritual, intelligent, authentic, kind, and passionate human beings I have ever met. Please get this book and all his past books. I want to thank Daniel Power and Sophie Nunnally for helping arrange this interview through Powerhouse Books who had put out Jamel’s books. Please support them if you buy his books, and in general. They put out such amazing and diverse books.   Please also get Leonard Freed’s “Black and White in America 1963-1965” at $28 dollars as a re-issue. Leonard's book and work has ben the main influence of Jamel's work and career. I also want to thank Karim Brown for being part of this episode. His work was being shown in the African American History museum in Philadelphia where Jamel did a lecture called “Love is The Message” a couple of months ago, and I got to see his amazing work. He is a younger photographer, and as a tribute to Jamel, who mentors and supports so many younger photographers, I wanted to include the amazing work, insight, and work. Karim's work has also been greatly influenced by Jamel, they both work in the same spirit of documenting their communities, and creating a historical archive for future generations to enjoy. Karim is also a teacher and archivist, and we talk with him about that, and his connection to Jamel! Lastly I have to say that getting to talk to Jamel has definitely been one of the highlights of my life, so I offer this as a gift to others to experiece it. Hope you enjoy it!   We start with Karim's (30 min.) then into Jamel's. Please listen to both episodes if you can.

Please help support this project financially - Patreon memberships start at $24 dollars a year!  Our Mission Statement of Vintage Annals Archive Website, Instagram, and Vintage Annals Archive Outsider Podcast  Please listen to this episode so you understand the importance of the work we are doing and need support for.   We focus here on people and histories considered to be the other or Outsider. Our focus is to explore the uniqueness and individuality of folks and topics thinking and working in non-traditional ways. We also present histories of the past as a roadmap in how to navigate the present. We present a unique form of interview, conversation, and storytelling in an organic manner and focus on art, culture, music, film, comedy, and more. We highlight stories and histories of communities of color, LGBTQIA+, Jewish stories, and many other minorities and subcultures. As these communities are being targeted and attack by the GOP, there is a strong need to share this content as its being taken out of our schools. This is my way of combating that through my years of educational experience as a Master's level special ed teacher. It is becoming non-sustainable and I just need some funds over the next year in order to apply for grants and such, or find sponsors. We also provided $1600 in artist grants (4 of them) and want to continue doing that work.

I had seen John over the years on TV and film and always enjoyed his work. I used to be a one on one worker with kids and teens with disabilities which drew me to to his work on “Speechless” which I found comically and authentically true to life. I enjoyed all of the actors but John’s performance felt very true to himself. I identify as an intuitive (like a poorer lazier more Jewish Rick Rubin) and can always get a sense of actors being true to them selves in certain roles. I met John through the Vintage Instagram that this podcast is named after and asked him to interview him. In order to prepare I listened to his memoir via Audible “No Job For A Man” and was blown away by his humor, insight, passion, authenticity, pop culture knowledge, his love and knowledge of Broadway Musicals, and his love and knowledge of Punk Music. This was exciting for me because most men of my generation can’t hold any conversations covering both Punk, and Broadway, yet alone can also bring Ronnie James Dio and Iron Maiden into that conversation and still make sense of it. I am also a year apart from John and just saw some interesting parallels in my own life. Let’s just say I was really moved by the memoir. To summarize I’d say it’s really hard not to like John Ross Bowie. He is just a humble, intelligent, and passionate person. He has spent much of his life pursuing this own loves and dreams. He has written two books. The other being a Deep Focus (name of the series) on the film “Heathers”. He has also written and produced a play “Four Chords and a Gun” which is an intense black comedy about The Ramones during a Drama filled 1979 recording session that led to the album “End of The Century” produced by Phil Spector. This episode falls more into the category of a great conversation that explores topics such as why no-one gets to hate on the musical Annie, Documentary Now and the Co-op episode, his show “Speechless” and why that show was one his best acting experiences, his punk band “Egghead”, and lastly the Philadelphia Band “The Dead Milkmen“ of which John is such a super fan. That knowledge lead me to invite him as a co-host to interview the band with me. I ironically I had already planned to interview them right after his interview so it just made sense. That episode will come out in about three weeks and John killed it! Please enjoy getting to know John Ross Bowie. You will be glad you did. I want to personally thank John as he went above and beyond to help create this special episode. Please check out John’s acting work, Music (Egghead can be found on many music services) and definitely get a copy of “No Job For A Man” which is a stellar memoir. It’s available at most book sellers. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/No-Job-for-a-Man/John-Ross-Bowie/9781639362462 Please Support If you'd like to support this project please join our Patreon.

Ep 22: Lennon Parham (Focus on Comedy) I’ve seen Lennon in a bunch of stuff over the years and always loved their work, but there was something in "Minx" to me that transcended her in my opinion to the level of comic genius and genius performer. She embedded her character Shelly with pure authenticity, compassion, and true kindness, that almost came through the screen. These real life qualities also became very clear while speaking with her. This episode focuses primarily on "Minx" but also digs into her days at UCB, being interviewed by Joan Rivers, working on Veep, Lady Dynamite, and more. I was also super impressed by the way she does her research and creates characters from real life experiences. Her work is definitely worth exploring, and please keep an eye on her future work as an actor, creator, and a director. She will only continue to do amazing work! Lastly, and most importantly, she tells the amazing story of making her insane fantasy scene in season one of "Minx". It involves making out with twin priests and the pope, and also features a horse! It's amazing!   You can Follow her below on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/lennonparham/ More info on Vintage Annals Archive Podcast https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/vintage-annals-archive-podcast.html Website We have a ton of additional content on our website. https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/ Please Support If you'd like to support this project please join our Patreon.

Ep 21: John M Valadez (Focus on Art)  I had the pleasure of speaking with muralist, painter, and photographer John M Valadez. He is a very accomplished artist that has his work in the Smithsonian collection,  Brooklyn museum, and well as part of Cheech Marin's collection. We talk about how he became an artist, his love of Jazz, the films that have influenced his work, and much more. He is smart, passionate, and down to earth, so please enjoy.    For more about his work go here.     https://johnvaladezart.com More info on Vintage Annals Archive Podcast https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/vintage-annals-archive-podcast.html Website We have a ton of additional content on our website. https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/ Please Support If you'd like to support this project please join our Patreon.

Ep 20: Ann Magnuson (Focus on Performance)  I am going to keep this short and  sweet. Ann Magnuson is a national hero in my opinion and it was a profound pleasure in meeting her and getting to know her for a few hours. I generally do about 6 hours of research per guest and I stopped counting after 12 hour of researching about Ann. She has such an interesting life that it was hard to stop.  Ann was very generous to us and having her is a huge deal! Thank you dearly, Ann is smart, fierce, kind, funny person. Enjoy the episode.    Please share widely!   Info about Ann Magnuson https://annmagnuson.com https://www.instagram.com/annmagnuson.official/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgF01K6oesNelHzoZH9mrxA https://www.facebook.com/annmagnuson.official More info on Vintage Annals Archive Podcast https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/vintage-annals-archive-podcast.html Website We have a ton of additional content on our website. https://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/ Please Support If you'd like to support this project please join our Patreon.
