Interesting conversations with interesting people.

#82 - BrickinNick 08/22/2022

#82 - BrickinNick Everything really IS awesome in this conversation with BrickinNick! You can catch him on Season 3 of LEGO Masters and we chat with him not only about being on the show (or as much as we can reveal before the debut in September) but also about where Nick is from, how LEGO has been with him since a child, and how it drove him to chase his dreams. Check out this encouraging and inspiring conversation!! This episode sponsored by Square One Coffee. https://www.squareonecoffee.com/ /episode/index/show/footinthedoorpod/id/24122076

#81 - Cherise Boothe 04/05/2022

#81 - Cherise Boothe You may know Cherise Boothe from a number of credits spanning stage, screen, video games, and voice over. After this conversation, however, you'll know Cherise not for the credits she's accrued, but for who she is. Sit back and enjoy this uplifting conversation (with additional bonus footage!).

#80 - Inel Tomlinson 08/03/2020

#80 - Inel Tomlinson Ed couldn't be happier to chat with Inel Tomlinson, truly one of the most joyful people he's encountered. From Twitch to stand-up to television and film to voice over, Inel has had his share of industry ups and downs but has navigated them all with a smile and a positive outlook. You may come for the laughs and positive vibes but you'll be leaving feeling encouraged, inspired, and more than slightly interested in a return of the string vest.

#77 - Shelby Young 02/06/2020

#77 - Shelby Young Voice acting seems like a lot of fun - and it is! - but many people don't realize how much work goes into it. Fortunately Shelby Young is here to answer all of Ed's questions about the craft of performing behind the mic. Shelby shares how she went from winning the crown as an on-a-whim beauty pageant contestant to voicing one of the most famous princesses in the world in Disney's Star Wars:Forces of Destiny.

#76 - Mel Smith 06/17/2019

#76 - Mel Smith Ed gets to sit down with one of his favorite Twitch streamers, Owl AKA TheOwlPlays AKA Mel Smith. Yes, they get a chance to nerd out about what it takes to be a Twitch streamer and dive deep into their favorite game (Overwatch) but that's just scratching the surface of the conversation. The story of what brought her to where she is today is full of unexepected branches, including linguistics, retail, and Billy Joel. /episode/index/show/footinthedoorpod/id/10173356

#75 - Philip Buchanan 06/03/2019

#75 - Philip Buchanan The amount of work that goes into making a video game is incredible. The amount of work that goes into making a video game by yourself is... well... Philip Buchanan can tell you all about it. Ed sits down with Philip to chat about "39 Days to Mars" and all that went into making it. Grab yourself a cuppa, a scone, and enjoy the conversation! /episode/index/show/footinthedoorpod/id/10017662

#74 - Doug Ahr 04/08/2019

#74 - Doug Ahr One of the nice things about living in the area where you grew up is having the chance to re-connect with old friends. That's just what Ed does in this episode where he sits down over a cup of coffee with his former high school band classmate Doug Ahr. From Strongman Competitions to bouncing at clubs to teaching high school English, Doug has not only done it all but he's done it with integrity. /episode/index/show/footinthedoorpod/id/9302543

#73 - Lem Fillyaw 02/04/2019

#73 - Lem Fillyaw If you listen to this episode and your cheeks don't hurt from smiling, you may need to get your cheeks examined. It's all good times and nice hangs when Lem Fillyaw is around and this conversation is no different. Clown college? Laundry mat meet-cutes? Gametography? Lem's got some great stories and he was kind enough to share more than a few of them with us. It's a wonderful hang! Enjoy!

#70 - Sean Capri 09/17/2018

#70 - Sean Capri Whether you know him from podcasting (We the Gamercast, If We Ran Nintendo, The Xbox Drive), his Twitch streaming (seancapri), or his appearance on every other podcast and Twitch stream, one thing you know about Sean Capri is he's a good guy who knows how to stay busy. Ed was able to chat with Sean during some rare downtime to find out where this drive comes from (no one ever suspects the Baby Godfather), where it's leading, and - of course - discover the natural progression of drawing Mega Man cartoons. Great conversation! /episode/index/show/footinthedoorpod/id/7052573

#69 - Dylan Taylor 09/03/2018

#69 - Dylan Taylor You may know Dylan Taylor from a wide number of different projects: his stellar work in the theater, his various roles in TV and movies that make you say, "Wait, that's all the same guy?" or perhaps his scene-stealing VO work in one of the most popular video game franchises in recent history. After listening to this conversation, however, you'll find that behind all of the roles, accents, and incredible work is a down-to-earth, really good guy. Enjoy!

#68 - Tim Sniffen 08/20/2018

#68 - Tim Sniffen As is made obvious in the rambling intro, Ed is super-excited to sit down with Tim Sniffen: writer, animator, actor, and a genuinely nice guy. From flip cartoons in the corner of book pages to bringing to life a Mysterious Man in the hilarious podcast Hello From the Magic Tavern, Ed and Tim cover it all... or as much as they can in an hour. This is a fun one! This episode sponsored by Square One Coffee. https://www.squareonecoffee.com/ /episode/index/show/footinthedoorpod/id/6943523

#67 - Cory Drake 08/06/2018

#67 - Cory Drake Rarely has Ed left a conversation as inspired as he was when he finished chatting with Cory Drake. This chat pretty much covers it all, from improv to professional wrestling, brokenness to optimism, having to step down from a passion and standing up for what you believe in. If you don't find yourself inspired at the end of the hour... well... I got nothin' for ya.

#66 - Jason Salmon 07/16/2018

#66 - Jason Salmon Is it possible to find peace through comedy? If so, Jason Salmon has cracked the code. Fresh off the recording of his debut comedy album, Jason chats with Ed about his craft, what goes into recording an album, and the impetus behind a cowboy who explains... everything. It's a great chat with a brilliant comic mind! You just may walk away with the best advice you've ever gotten from the dumbest guy you know.

#65 - Steve Byers 06/19/2018

#65 - Steve Byers If you haven't experienced what Ed refers to as "The Steve Byers High," prepare yourself. It's what happens to the room after you've spent some time with a really good person; an actor who's super-talented yet also has both feet planted firmly on the ground. A guy who may or may not have neglected to tell his wife about why their new apartment was vacant in the first place. A guy like...well... Steve Byers. Enjoy! It's a good one!
