2025/08/13

Gretchen isn’t just a stand-up comic from the DFW area, she’s a veteran of the comedy community who has consistently produced open mics and shows in a wide variety of venues. What started as a humble effort to get more stage time has evolved into her becoming one of the most driven and professional producers in the scene.

#149 George Brown

I"M A FAN OF ·

2025/07/27

George Brown is a stand-up comic from the Fort Worth, Texas area and one of the youngest voices in the local scene. But don’t let his age fool you into thinking he’s a novelty act, George is putting in the work and building real momentum. With the age gap between us being wider than George’s own age, it was refreshing to gain insight from someone both new to our comedy world and in a completely different stage of life and career. Before heading to Los Angeles to pursue both school and stand-up, he

#146 J. Isaiah Evans

I"M A FAN OF ·

2025/06/30

I had the usual amount of nerves that come with interviewing someone I’ve never met in person. However, those nerves disappeared the moment J. Isaiah Evans pulled up to the podcast studio in a brown car. The make and model are irrelevant. The important detail is that it was brown. You see, I, Travis Wright, have long wanted to buy a car in a sophisticated and timeless brown hue. Knowing that J. Isaiah is also a man of impeccable style, my nerves vanished. It felt like a sign from the universe that

#144 Bomethius (Jonathan Hodges)

I"M A FAN OF ·

2025/06/19

There was a palpable tension in the room. Jonathan hadn't been on the podcast in a long time. Our last interaction was through a text message where he thanked me for an article I wrote about his previous full album release "Borrowed Time". I thought the article was clever and complementary but, it ultimately said that the music didn't resonate with me. Did the article enrage him? Was he playing the long game? Pretending to be appreciative of the article but secretly waiting until he could come on

#143 Matt George of The Yes Ma'am Band

I"M A FAN OF ·

2025/06/02

Matt George is the guitarist for The Yes Ma'am band. He is a man with only first names. Even his middle name (which we reveal in this episode) is a first name. In addition to that amazing fact, we found out before starting the interview that we are neighbors and live on the same street. I walk my dog by his house everyday. The universe is weird, man! But seriously, the band is awesome and Matt was a great guy to chat with about many different subjects. So please, check out my neighbor's interview

#142 Jacob Marshall

I"M A FAN OF ·

2025/05/26

Jacob Marshall is a stand-up comic and show producer in the Dallas/Ft. Worth comedy scene. Hopefully this interview is good but, in truth, it was sabotaged from the beginning. Sadly, only a couple of days before this interview, I went to trim my beard and I had it on the wrong setting. After accidentally taking a large chunk of my beard off my face I had no choice but to shave it all off and regrow it. So through most of the interview I'm just sitting across from Jacob staring at his glorious beard

#141 Chandler Cooper

I"M A FAN OF ·

2025/05/16

Chandler Cooper is a writer, rapper, singer and performer and social media star. Although he is likely not very wealthy, a lazy google search will confirm that he's worth millions of dollars and is the most successful rapper to hail from Cleburne, TX. The second part of that statement is likely true. Shout out to the Burne! During this interview Chandler required multiple bathroom breaks. Did we take a bathroom break together? Yes. Did we take that as an opportunity to sword fight and cross streams

#140 Zac Webb

I"M A FAN OF ·

2025/05/11

Zac Webb is a stand-up comic from the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. Yes, we talk about stand-up comedy and all of the usual things but, it should be noted that he has been working out A LOT and getting in shape. So throughout most of this interview I was just in my own head thinking about how I'm fat and need to lose weight. I'm not sure if this inner monologue made the interview better or worse. You'll have to listen to find out. Also, Zac is really funny and you should go watch him live. Enjoy! I'M

#139 Will Rakkar of Phantomelo

I"M A FAN OF ·

2025/05/04

Will Rakkar is the lead singer and guitarist in the North Texas Indie band Phantomelo. Will showed up with beer which automatically makes him better than the guests that didn't show up with alcohol. Because of this gesture, I'm going to insist that you all make Phantomelo your new favorite band. They did just release a new single called Home which we talk about on the show amongst many other things. Go stream their new single, then stream everything else and then go to a show. Enjoy!
