Call it a miracle, a stroke of luck, a miracle stroke, whatever works for you, but celebrations are in order because at long last, the WHTA crew (i.e. I me) managed to track down my co-host Stephen Johnson’s house! As if that wasn’t enough, this week’s guest is none other than local food photographer Henrik Kenkle. Yes, THAT Henrik Kenkle (aka Andrew Quintero)!

I wish I could say this week’s episode isn’t one of most batshit moments in We Heart the Arts history, but that would just be an obese dog-sized lie. Consider yourselves warned, as Stephen Johnson and myself welcome local brother and sister performance artists Dan (Mike D’Alonzo) and Pamela (Dana Leahy).

Sooooooo…..remember how last week we thought We Heart the Arts had become so popular that it had inspired an entire podcast network based solely around the West Valley cultural scene, and that we were going to be the crown jewel in said podcast network’s crown? Well, let’s just say a lot can happen in a week and a half when you’re dealing with Nigerian princes. Thankfully, we were still able to book two dynamite guests for this episode: total stranger Archie Williams (Paul Hungerford) and local sculptor Francois.

Well, we all knew the time would come when We Heart the Arts (and to a lesser extent Steve Hearts the Arts) would become so gosh damn popular that it would inspire the creation of the Northwestern Valley Arts in Your Ears Network of Podcasts, and that time is now. Helping us celebrate the good news this week in studio is book club enthusiast/newly escaped convict Bill Reynolds.

And then we return to our regularly scheduled podcast as I am joined by local entertainment mogul/dark arts practitioner Scary Gary.

We Heart the Arts – Ep. 1: Cat Poet Susan, Acting Coach Maurice Maurice

Welcome to We Heart the Arts, aka formerly Chitty Chitty Chat Chat, aka still a humorous piece of improvised entertainment for your ear holes! Why the sudden name change you ask? Well, let’s just say our show has become quite the hot commodity in the local underground niche obscure unknown double underground market, and as a result, we have been contracted to shift our show’s focus to the local arts scene. So get your culture hats on, because We Heart the Arts is about to kick you in the head heart!

On the premier episode of We Heart the Arts, I am joined by my lustrious co-hosts Dana Leahy and Stephen Johnson, and our guests are Susan, the poet laureate of Pacoima (Subject – Cats), and definite acting coach Maurice Maurice.

(This is my first attempt at a “real” podcast, so it’s definitely rough around the edges, but I decided to toss the sucker onto the interwubs, because I want to document how a show like this one evolves, finds its voice, changes its name/focus, and, hopefully, becomes something that could be honestly mistaken for a professional show at some point in the not so distant future. Thanks for listening!)

Chitty Chitty Chat Chat – Episode 5: The Chat Hole with Dana Leahy and The Rooster

Welcome to Chitty Chitty Chat Chat, aka a humorous piece of improvised entertainment for your ear holes!

After Stephen “Mean to Guests” Johnson verbally assaulted our guest on the previous episode, we asked him to sit this one out (which almost worked for the entire show). Filling in for Steve this week is the always delightful Dana Leahy. We are also joined by morning zoo radio personality The Rooster, who responded to an ad we put out looking for possible Steve replacements. If you’re into double shots of stuff and nearly constant traffic updates, you’re going to loooooooooooooove this episode.

Welcome to Chitty Chitty Chat Chat, aka a humorous piece of improvised entertainment for your ear holes!

We have a star-studded show for you this week, and by “star-studded,” I of course mean, “a show with two other people on it.” Joining me on the hosting desk is one Mr. Stephen Johnson, and bringing up the comedy rear is Laura!, an up and coming stand-up comedian/prospective Olympic weight lifter who is here to humorously inform us about the age old differences between men and women.
