If you follow this blog and/or my LIVE interviews with any regularity, you may recall that last year I chatted with Morgan Englund about his crowdfunding campaign to make a music video for his song Homeward Bound (A Firefighter's Song). Englund was a firefighter and paramedic for years before deciding to pursue his long-held dream of becoming a singer/songwriter and musician. Homeward Bound is a tribute to Englund's fellow first responders and marks his first video in what will surely be a successful career in the music industry.  Regarding his song, Englund writes:  I hung up my axe and stethescope. But I offer this song to first responders everywhere. You do an amazing job, you sacrifice way more than the average person realizes. I will ever be proud and grateful to have been counted among you. I chatted with Englund just days before the official video release and you can watch that interview here: The video for Homeward Boun...

Unfortunately due to an unusual amount of technical difficulties we couldn't do the LIVE video chat as planned. We did, however, move the interview to twitter for an impromptu Q&A. In case you missed it or aren't on twitter, I have saved the tweets so you can see them!

It is rare that I get excited about a new show these days. There is so much content to view on television and online, and unfortunately most of it is not worth watching. So when a show comes along that I believe in I have to share it with everyone. In case you haven't heard, YouTube now has a streaming service with original programming called YouTube Premium, what you may know as YouTube Red. Like Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix, YouTube Premium charges a monthly fee. In fact so many of these streaming platforms seem to be popping up I probably never would have checked out YouTube Premium if not for all the buzz surrounding its show Cobra Kai. Cobra Kai, as you may have heard, is based on the original Karate Kid movie from 1984. This is not, however, your typical reboot and it is not a reimagining of the story we all grew up with. Instead, Cobra Kai broadens our perspective of the Karate Kid characters and the possible motivations behind their actions. ...

Kassie DePaiva (Blair, OLTL; Eve, DOOL) and Nathan Purdee (ex-Nathan Hastings, Y&R) are starring in a new film called Killian and the Comeback Kids, which was written and directed by Purdee's son Taylor.
