Ep. 360: Jeff Suskin & Shalisa Pouw of DiningOut

Back in 2019, I reconnected with Shalisa Pouw – a friend from elementary school – and we talked about her work as a Denver Nuggets dancer, in the fitness industry, and for DiningOut. That episode can be found here. She’s back, and she’s brought her husband Jeff Suskin with her as I talk to the…

Ep. 355: Douglas Derrick – 100 Mile Race Finisher

Douglas Derrick is one of the coolest guys I know. He’s the inspiration for Negroni Week, which just happened. He has a Portlandia sketch that parodies his mixology chops from his time as a bartender. He’s a champion angler. Above all that, he’s just really fun to hang out with when I go to Portland…

Ep. 350: Adrienne Ash, Lead Singer of Plasma Canvas

Plasma Canvas is the self-professed “LOUDEST, GAYEST BAND IN THE WORLD.” And I can tell you personally that their new album DUSK is fantastic.

Ep. 346: Vic Lombardi – 9 Year Anniversary Spectacular!

The Jon of All Trades Podcast is officially 9 years old! If you had asked me when I started if I would still be doing this show 9 years later, I don’t think I would have said yes. But the truth is, while this show didn’t achieve the heights I wished for it when I…

Ep. 345: Kip Wilson – Stoned Appetit

Kip Wilson is one of the creators and co-hosts of Stoned Appetit, a podcast where he and his co-host learn something new every episode, but “cover food, booze, weed and live music.” Sounds like a damn good time! He’s also my compadre at Mile High Life where he blogs and makes video content, and I,…

Ep. 344: Tom Breihan, Author of The Number Ones

When Tom Breihan was my guest two and a half years ago on Episode 253, we talked primarily about movies and how PR people can stand out in an endless swirling sea of crappy pitches. It was an incredibly fun chat, and although I had been a weekly reader of his prior to that, after…
