I'M A FAN OF

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.

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.

#146 J. Isaiah Evans

I'M A FAN OF

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 this episode was destined for greatness. J. Isaiah is best known as the frontman of the band 40...
