Felicia Michaels is a comedian, photographer, and actor. Her episode of Marc Maron’s WTF was one of my favorites. She has an amazing story. This is my second time interviewing her, and based on the rules of 1000, will likely be my last. So, I wanted to cover as much ground as possible.

Danilo Napoli is an actor, writer, and producer from Italy. I saw his show, This Show Has Been Canceled (Due To The End Of The World), and it was absolutely brilliant. It tackles climate change, and it’s unapologetically anti-capitalist. Plus it’s Italian? We had drinks after, as Michael Blaha of Fringe Management produced the show and he also produced Termination Fee. Unsurprisingly, Danilo and I got along pretty well.

Ester Maria Segretto is a photographer and author. She is an Italian-American, who, like myself, celebrates the culture and food but found herself at odds with the conservative political undertones that often accompanied it. Thanks to organizations like PIACE and Italians Against Fascism and others, we’ve been finding our people and each other.
