    About this Episode

    Sam Sabin from Good Grief is my guest this week!  We dive deep into the really personal story of her awesome show!  We go over how she got into audio, the premise of the show, involving family in a documentary podcast, and a very unusual personal connection that Sam and I share!  Seriously!  An amazing show, just getting started, that I can't recommend that you subscribe and check out immediately!

    Ep. 161 - Jason and Dan sit down with Dana Buckler who has 'exploded' the independent podcast scene in the last few weeks as he has recently sat down with the one and only John Travolta for one of the most amazing interviews ever recorded with the superstar! Truly, it's one for the books!  So, we knew we had to ask Dana to return to TPD (for a record 3rd appearance on the show)!  We talk the evolution from "How is This Movie" to "The Dana Buckler Show", artwork, co-hosts and of course, talking to John Travolta!  Dana is a great interviewer, storyteller and his journey (so far) is truly what independent podcasting dreams are made of!  Subscribe now, if you haven't already!
