I talk with Michael Grepp, one half of Loserville Animation Studios, who shares with us his love for cartoons like Looney Tunes, Ren & Stimpy and of course Adult Swim

He shares his journey in the animation and voice acting industry, discussing the creative process, the importance of collaboration, and the challenges of navigating the industry.

He tells how they went viral a few years ago guerrilla animating shorts for Last Podcast on the Left and what it’s like to be in a room with execs pitching shows and getting name called by Eric Andre of all people.

He gives us pointers on networking, overcoming rejection, and maintaining a balance between quality and productivity in creative work which he provides virtually with his company The Talent Spot.

Pete Cornell joins us to talk about his new endeavor into the private musical education sector, and shares his experience opening Peak Music in Stowe, Vermont!

Pete is an amazing musician/ guitarist and went to school for it most of his life. We met while working retail and started a band together shortly after.

We discuss the creative inspirations and different teaching philosophies, the intent of building a community of music where there wasn't one, the impact of underfunded music programs, and creating a safe space for musicians, young and old, to flourish.

We also disect the Suzuki method of teaching, meet Peak Music's teachers and dig a little deeper into our musical experience together in a band during the lightning round of questions. Stay till the end!

On this episode of The Memo Show:

I have a fast paced (slow paced for those of you with ADHD) and hilarious interview with my dear friend Robert Lysobey. He is an author/writer (and do I dare say - comedian?) and he talks to us about everything from his battle with weight gain, his first glimpse into how writing filled the void in his soul, his favorite authors, Outfielder in the Wheat, and his adventures as a teen forcing his pretentious ideas and poems on an inappropriate and uninterested demographic.

But also way more in between.

Come with us on a journey into the mind and down the banks of a mad man’s stream of consciousness.

It’s worth every hysterical second.

Also, Pete thinks I died. And took all my stuff.

My long time friend, colleague and fellow musician Robb Takacs aka. EOD talk about 25 years after Generation Under, our hip hop group we spawned during the turn of the millennium.

Robb and I play you some tunes from our debut album "The Arrival", while we talk about the progression of Generation Under as a side project that was birthed in 5x10 closet in basement bedroom, to a full on weekly commitment that sometimes didn't end until the early hours of the morning.

You never know who would show up and contribute to a Gen Under song, so listen with us and we'll share some secrets about our time creating music we loved to listen to.
