Check out my appearances on other podcasts!

I have been meaning to compile this list into a blog post for longer than I would like to say, but better late than never, right?!  One thing I didn't anticipate when I started my podcast was the opportunity to be a guest on other shows!  Below is some information about my visits to other podcasts.  This list is not necessarily exhaustive, as sometimes my memory gets a little foggy.  Further, these will not necessarily be in chronological order, but I will try my best! 

Back in 2022, I was a guest for the very first time on a podcast called "The 80s and 90s Uncensored" with hosts Jamie & Milo.  When they first reached out to me, I swore that it was spam!  After all, when you host a podcast, you start getting an obscene amount of spam emails.  Most of them are some random person telling me they could get me to the top of the charts in Apple Podcasts, but thankfully, I always know better! Anyhoo, I got to be a guest on the show to discuss our favorite board games from the '80s and '90s.  We each shared two games we remembered from growing up, as well as some of the backstory behind them. And as it turns out, Milo and Jamie are pretty awesome guys, and they have been so supportive of me and my podcast.  I will refer to their show more in this post.  Just know that if you like my show, you will love theirs! 

No Shame on You is both a non-profit organization and a podcast that takes a deep dive into mental health, working to take the stigma out of mental illness.  They were kind enough to invite me onto their show to discuss my grief journey following the tragic passing of my sister.  You can check out my appearance and their podcast here. I love the title they gave to the episode: From grief to grace: A sister's legacy in pop culture.  That encapsulates my show perfectly :) 

Milo & Jamie were kind enough to invite me back to their podcast for a mini-series where we discussed important pop culture events during the early 2000s, including:  2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.  We each shared insight into 2 different events.  From September 11th to the passing of Aliyah and Left Eye, we hit on a lot of memorable topics, both difficult and endearing.  Check out this fun series here.

My most recent podcast guest appearance was on the Retro Made podcast, which is hosted by a fellow '80s baby named Katie.  Last season, her focus was on the films of John Hughes, and I was fortunate to partake in the episode diving into the movie disaster that is Dennis the Menace (1993).  Most people wouldn't know that I am a life-long Dennis the Menace fanatic!  I am not kidding! I have loved this character since the early days of the live-action TV show, the DIC-produced cartoon, the made-for-tv-movie and various other incarnations.  Below is a picture I took of a Dennis the Menace bobblehead!  I visited Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this past spring and visited the Bobblehead Hall of Fame (10 out of 10 would recommend by the way!), and when I saw this figure, I knew I had to take a photo! 

I met Katie as we have both collaborated a lot with the guys over at the  80s and 90s Uncensored.  Her podcast is so well-organized and has various segments that just add to its appeal.  Katie, like me, is one of the few women who host a pop culture-focused podcast.  Please check out her fantastic show! You can check out my guest spot here.

Katie also has a YouTube channel for her podcast. You can see the video version of my guest spot here.

There are several other podcasts I was lucky enough to be on, but several of said podcasts are no longer in production, so the episode is no longer available or is buried deep in the internet somewhere.  With all of that said, I am so grateful for the gracious podcast hosts who have invited me to be a part of their show.  It is always so much fun and, honestly, flattering to be asked!
