Hackattack and The Faro

Candice Bahe: Dress for Success

Single moms are Amazon Queens to be loved and feared. Their ferociousness is legendary. Candice is no different. Her passion is found in her art and her relationships. 

We talk about life in the film industry as a hair/makeup/costume designer. She tells us about her punk rock lifestyle, growing up in Salt lake and on the Navajo Reservation, and her concert history. She's too much metal for one hand.

Life is the rising and falling sea. Candice crowd surfs it to success in all aspects of her life. But she'll be the first to say it takes a village. Grace and humility can come in badass little packages.

 

Eric Tucker: Dare to Persevere

We discuss theatre dos and don'ts, throw in a little reminiscing, a pinch of witty repartee and come up with a stirring conversation. And of course, Perth the dog makes his opinions known. 

Foster Rhodes: Faux Charisma

Foster Rhodes brings her faux charisma to the show. Of course, there is nothing faux about her. She enjoys long walks in the city, bringing in the crowd energy, and running towards what scares her. She seizes each opportunity to reinvent herself and experience the walk of life in another pair of shoes. Stand up comedian and yoga instructor today but don't pigeonhole her because she surprises at every turn. She tackles bombing onstage, shrines, fart jokes, past lives, and mental health issues. As Hackattack would say, she isn't afraid to go there. We laughed. We cried. We laughed again.

Whitney Ingram: Progress Outside the Norm

Don't judge a book by it's cover. She's more than meets the eye. Whitney talks to Hackattack about being a writer, editor, and DP. She pushes back against the patriarchy and the stigma of being an attractive woman in a male dominated industry to create bold and dramatic art. She goes for broke in all that she does. 

David Schmidt: From the Outside In

David Schmidt, pedaGOD of music, speaks to us about stereotypes and beating the hell out of them. We mock toxic masculinity and hetero comfort zones. Dave tells tales of overcoming physical injury for the arts, giving back to the kids, and knife fights. Listen and be amazed.

Todd Strauss-Schulson: Are You in the Tomb or the Womb

A wonderful film maker, human being, and relentless road warrior comes on the show. Todd talks to us about careers, road trips, life in the times of Rona, broadcasting tips, and nutrition.
