Excelsior Journeys Podcast

06/07/2024

It's days like this that make me so grateful to be in podcasting. Getting to spend my day talking with Nebula-nominated author Jendia Gammon and award-winning composer Misha Segal (The Last Dragon / The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking / 1989's The Phantom of the Opera) is so inspiring and motivating, and I can't wait for you to hear these conversations. And I get to do it all again tomorrow with four other creatives!

Very excited to be recording the first batch of interviews for Season 9 of the Excelsior Journeys Podcast! I have 3 scheduled for today and another 4 for tomorrow, getting closer to the big 300th episode. I'm still not sure how I'll be celebrating that milestone.

The fourth accolade for “Minus One Plus” AND my first official invite to a film festival!

Now this is a good way to start a Saturday! Thank you to the Lift-Off Global Network for accepting my short science-fiction screenplay "Minus One Plus" into their Script & Screenwriters Showcase!

Had a terrific conversation with Michaell Magrutsche, this week’s guest on the Excelsior Journeys Podcast. Michaell’s work has focused on exploring the source of our creativity, and it was a real pleasure having him on.

Got my flight tickets so I can officially ask. Who else is going to ?

01/05/2024

So here’s some good news and some MORE good news! I just got the notification that my short SciFi screenplay “Minus One Plus” just picked up its second accolade and was named a Finalist in the Cambridge Script Festival!
The other good news is that this is NOT the vaguebooking news I mentioned before. That still has yet to be shared…

01/05/2024

It’s been a while since I’ve done any vaguebooking, but last night was given an amazing offer that I couldn’t turn down. Once I’m given the word, I’ll share the details, but right now I’m incredibly excited for this opportunity.

It's amazing what happens when you finally sit down and use the tools you've had. Something so simple that seemed so difficult just a half-hour ago is all done. My calendar for the podcast is completely set up the way I want it to be, the way I need it to be. And now I can say, here's my calendar. Book the time that works for you! Damn, this feels good!

Ahh yes, ! That magical time of year when you’re reminded that exactly one year ago, you pledged to get more people over to Spotify to listen to the Excelsior Journeys Podcast… and then completely forgot that pledge one day later.
But I’m happy to see that my interview with Sideways author Rex Pickett was the big hit of the year! That was a great conversation and I’m so glad a lot of people listened to it.

This was a very nice bonus yesterday. My first short I submitted to a and it brought home an Honorable Mention!
Funny enough, their suggestion to make the story more visual would not have been needed if the requirements were more than 11 pages and I would have been able to keep all of those moments in.
