In addition to writing, I also produce a podcast with my buddy, Dirty A, called The Hodgepodge Podcast. We mainly discuss movies, but we also talk about Music, TV, and other Pop Culture topics. From time to time, Dirty A and I will have guests drop by and chat with us - guests like author Matt King. You can also find us on You Tube and subscribe to us on iTunes. Below is a gallery of our most recent episodes. To check out the archive, click the link to the left. Check them out!
