HTP Episode 156 – Katie Leigh

Katie Leigh is a voice actress known for work on Darkwing Duck, The Real Ghostbusters, Gummi Bears, and Adventures in Odyssey…. And I get to fanboy out a little over her performance as Young Han Solo in Lego Star Wars: The Padawan Menace. She comes to Hungry Trilobyte to put a little perspective on the differences between voice acting in the 80s and today, and how fan convention culture has brought creators and the audience together into a community.

Be sure to check out Katie’s full list of work at IMDb. You can follow Katie on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, as well as her official website. Be sure to check out her webseries Tell Ya Later.

HTP Episode 125 – Chris Byrne, “The Toy Guy”

Chris Byrne is a toy enthusiast and historian. He operates a blog called The Toy Guy and a podcast called The Playground Podcast. Noting how children use play and imagination to form how they see the world, Chris has some great insights into the roles that toys hold in our lives- both when we’re young and when we’re old. In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, Chris and I look at how toys have shifted in the eyes of our larger culture. The two of us look into the rise of the adult toy collector, and the weird ways the industry has settled in the wake of Toys R Us closing its doors.

HTP Episode 108 – Michael Lloyd

Michael Lloyd is a fresh actor who loves podcasting and has a lot of great views on fandom. He schools me on why he loves horror (and I’m a horror dummy) and we get to compare it to Star Wars and Marvel fandoms. On a more critical note, we get to compare how different fandoms respond to an excess of sequels and reboots.

HTP Episode 050 – Jerry Bennet Returns!

Jerry Bennett, the first guest ever on Hungry Trilobyte, returns for episode #50! Jerry and I discuss the challenges of being creative in 2020 and the unique opportunities still around for artists. Jerry has been on an incredible self-improvement regimen, and I make the point that the ‘starving artist’ myth does more harm than good. Speaking of thriving, we discuss how Jerry was a guest at the OK Art Crawl, an art show for the socially distanced. I brag on some awesome open-source creative apps like GIMP, LibreOffice, and Ubuntu Studio. Jerry sings the praises of Procreate.

Be sure to catch up with Jerry at the following sites:
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Etsy, and TeePublic

The Life Radio Show 5/12/2020

I had a great time discussing Hungry Trilobyte with Don Smith from The Life Radio Show, out of WWSU. We got to cover a lot of ground on why fandom helps people cope, and how to use it to prompt creativity and positivity. I cover my favorite Treks, analyze the newer Star Wars movies, and gush over MST3k in the 21st century.
