Bryant Odega (Late Night ICE Knocks to Harvard) - 072

1000 w/ Ron Placone ·

2025/01/28

Bryant Odega is an educator and activist. His first memory is of ICE coming to deport his father. He recently graduated from Harvard. I first became aware of Bryant when he ran for City Council in my district in Los Angeles. In the times we’re living in, many people are wondering what they can do, and how they can fight back. I think this episode helps answer, or at least partially answer, that question.

2025/01/21

Havilah Malone is an author, actress, producer, and speaker. She’s written some best selling books, and you’d probably recognize her from a national commercial or two. Havilah was helping out with a gameshow pilot Graham Elwood and I produced called Anything Can Happen. Her productive and positive energy was infectious. It was awesome to have her be part of it. She’s the type of person you like being on set with, which goes a long way in this business.

Sally Mullins is an actress, comedian, animal rescuer, and porn star. Also, she’s in my movie, Left At Wall. She’s hilarious.

Graham Elwood is a comedian, filmmaker, and podcaster. Also, he’s my good friend. We’ve toured multiple countries together, heck, we even toured a different continent. We vent some frustrations about the YouTube space, we go down memory lane, some good ones, some not so good ones. An appropriate December episode.

Tina-Desiree Berg (Real Journalism) - 064

1000 w/ Ron Placone ·

2024/12/03

Tina-Desiree Berg is a Journalist. Dare I say, one of the most bad-ass ones I know. She goes toe-to-toe with right-wing extremists groups, she puts herself in danger for on-the-ground coverage, and she researches stuff that most people just wouldn’t have the stomach for. As some of you may already know, she’s a friend and colleague of mine. We’ve collaborated in many different contexts, but this is the first time I actually got to straight up interview her and dive more into her origin story.

As a writer, Franz has published a collection of tour essays, "The Humorless Ladies of Border Control", a novel, "Someone Should Pay For Your Pain", and his newest book is called "Band People", an extensive peak under the hood of the lives of session and touring musicians.

Silverio Tucci (Italian Leftist Punk Rock) - 062

2024/11/19

Silverio Tucci is an Italian punk rock musician and Socialist. I discovered his band, Lumpen, via Attila the Stockbroker and became an instant fan. I learned that his family members were partisans. For anyone not in the know, that means they were the people who literally fought the nazis in their communities in Italy during WWII. They’re not mentioned much in history, but they were there, and when it was a fair fight, they usually won. I consider their story proof that at the end of the day love,

2024/11/12

Thomas Frank is a political analyst and writer. He wrote the book “Listen, Liberal”, a thorough but fair dissection of the failures of the Democratic Establishment and in particular, the Obama Administration. He also wrote “The People, No”, which provides a factual analysis on what populism actually is. In the contemporary political landscape we’re living in, he’s one of the most important thinkers out there. I try not to be too topical with this show, as that’s not the theme, but we recorded this

I tell him why the song means what it does to me and my interpretation of it, and he gives some insider insight of the writing of the song. This is what 1000 is all about!

Kaytlin Bailey is a comedian, performer, former sex worker, and she is the executive director and founder of the Non-Profit, Old Pros Online, an organization dedicated to the decriminalization of sex work. We've both incorporated policy passions into our creative endeavors, her with sex work and me with Digital Rights. Those two issues cross pollinate a good bit.
