Episode 36: Gary Giannoni & Thoren Jorgensen

Here to promote ZotFest, the upcoming student film festival here at UCI, it's fest director Gary Giannoni and tech director/friend-of-the-show Thoren Jorgensen! We talked about the unconventional format of putting together a socially distanced virtual film festival in the COVID era and a whole mess of other topics. Remember: Submission deadline is May 17th and you can apply even if you're not in the FMS department. DO EEEEEEEET!!!!

Episode 35: Guess Who

Here's a twist for ya: IT'S ANDREW WESTON!!!!

Episode 34: Sebastian Silva & Isaac Ceja

It's the 34th Episode, folks! Here's some fun facts about the #34: There are 34 islands in the Mediterranean! The element selenium has an atomic number of 34! The number "200" appears 34 times in the bible! I know- crazy, right? Also this week, I interviewed hosts of political talk show, "La Conversacion," right here at KUCI, Sebastian Silva and Isaac Ceja. It was a hoot!

Episode 33: Richard Dulay

Talk about a milestone! The show's first ever guest, Richard Dulay, makes his triumphant return to promote his new track, "Fears 2.0," and teases an upcoming album. Pretty exciting stuff, right? We talked about the inspiration for this new track, the pros and cons of being an artist in the era of COVID, and also the illuminati. But mostly the first two things. Remember to follow Richard on Soundcloud at DBAR and YouTube at DBAR Music!

Episode 32: More like NO-vid 19, amiright???

Covid? I hardly KNOW Vid! HEYOOOOOO! AND WE ARE BACK, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Station shut down for a few weeks in light of recent developments and is technically still closed to all DJ's BUT at least I've got Zoom and my handy-dandy portable microphone, so the show will continue to go on, baybeh.
Also sorry for making those "coronavirus survival tips" jokes on the show a few episodes ago. Gotta eat some crow on that. Guess this was just a bit more serious than I initially anticipated. Whoopsie-daisy. Regardless, enjoy the return of "Half Past Five"!

Episode 31: Andrew Weston Again

Honestly I don't even know what to say this time. Oof.

Episode 30: Lucas Hilderbrand

Awwwwwww yeah bruddah, it's Episode 30!!! To ring in this special occasion, I sat down with UCI Professor and Media Historian, Lucas Hilderbrand. We discussed his book, "Inherent Vice: Bootleg Histories of Videotape and Copyright," which covers the broader effects of the specific focus of bootleg home-video and the first "renaissance" of sorts of the pornography in the '70s and '80s. Enjoy, people!

Episode 29: Brett Baer (Part 2)

It's part 2! Not sure what more to say that I didn't already say in the previous episode's bio, but... Show's good! Listen to it!

Episode 28: Brett Baer (Part 1)

Heya folks, it's another Baer! This one of the Brett variety! Brett Baer is an Emmy award-winning television writer and producer, known for his work on hit shows like "New Girl," "30 Rock," and "The United States of Tara." In part one of my interview with him, we talked about the early days of his career and his breaking into the industry through the world of animation, as well as the ethical ups and downs of "woke" culture on contemporary comedy. Give the thing a listen!
