On today's episode, I have actress and Emmy nominated director, Daina Reid!
Daina and I first crossed paths a few years ago through the Sundance Film Festival with her film, "Run Rabbit Run". My Sundance 2023 coverage was limited given my own filming schedule, but Daina was somebody I had really wanted to talk to about this film and I am so glad we were finally able to make this happen. The day we recorded this the new Elizabeth Moss led Hulu show "The Veil" premiered their first two episodes which Daina directed!
On the episode we talked about how Daina got her start, acting on the hit Austrailan sketch show "Full Frontal", getting back to directing, working with comedy heroes like Greg Daniels and Steve Carrell on "Space Force", getting her Emmy nomination for "The Handmaid's Tale", directing for TV vs. directing for film, working with Sarah Snook and Lily LaTorre on "Run Rabbit Run", how the film came together, and so much more!
A huge Thank You to Daina Reid for taking the time to join me. It took some coordination to make this episode happen since Daina was back home in Melbourne, 17 hours ahead of me here in Los Angeles, but we had such a great time chatting! You can watch "Run Rabbit Run" on Netflix NOW, as well as the first two episodes of "The Veil" on Hulu! Make sure to follow Daina on all of the links on our website: www.onthemicpodcast.com

Episode 200 - LIVE from WonderCon 2024
Today's episode we are coming to you LIVE from WonderCon to celebrate our 200th episode!
For this episode I stole a page from Pete Holmes podcast and had my producing partner, writer/director Alex Watson interview me for the show! It felt very fitting to be celebrating 200 episodes at a place like WonderCon since comic cons and conventions have been a big part of the show since we first started.
Watson talked to me about getting started, my inspirations, finding my voice, how we first met and started working together, where the show name came from, and so much more.
A huge Thank You to everybody who came out for the 200th episode! It's always so hard to get people to stick around 2 hours after the convention floor has closed, but I couldn't be more grateful for the friends and attendees that stuck around for the show. Thank you to those who asked questions and interacted with us during the show as well. And of course, a big thanks to Alex Watson for taking the time to take over hosting duties for the 200th episode. It's an honor to work with him on a daily basis and I was so happy he agreed to be a part of this show. Follow us on all of the links on www.onthemicpodcast.com

Episode 196 - Joshua Gillespie of Muppet History
On today's episode of the podcast, I have the creator of the hit social media sites, "Muppet History", Joshua Gillespie!
I was so thrilled to finally get Joshua on the show. I have followed Muppet History on every social media platform for years, as I'm sure many of you have, and was so intrigued by the man who brings so many people so much joy from just a simple post. I originally reached out to Joshua a few years back to be a guest on one of our SDCC shows, only to learn that he lived on the other side of the country and wouldn't be able to attend. So, this episode has been a long time coming.
On the episode Joshua and I talked about him growing up in North Carolina, discovering the Muppets as a kid and sharing that love with his older brothers, introducing is wife to the Muppets when they were dating, which Muppet we'd love to hear curse, battling the negativity of the internet, creating joy, his favorite Muppet movie, and so much more.
A huge Thank You to Joshua for taking the time to join me on the show. Joshua was getting ready to leave on vacation and still took the time to be on the show. I really appreciate it! Make sure to follow him on all of the links below and enjoy all of his Muppet goodness.
Thanks, Joshua!
