Potpourri: Landing In LA & Straightening Out With J-John
Arriving in LA wasn’t easy for J-John (like it is for anyone…) and getting on his feet involved a bit more hustle than our average guest. He started his first businesses down in Skid Row and it wasn’t long before legal intervention prevented his enterprises from growing as wide as he’d like. Writing on the wall, J-John straightened out and has been keeping clean since then. As always, thank you for listening!

Potpourri: The Wisdom of a Childhood Fully-Lived with J-John
In part 1 of a 2-parter, J-John discusses growing up in the dirty south, the foster care circuit and the hell a kid can raise on a bicycle.
J-John is our first guest to be booked by Swinky! J-John is a charmer always ready with a yarn about growing up in the dirty south. His stories are so plentiful that we’ve had to split this conversation into two parts. The first half covers his childhood and time in the foster care system. The second half (which will be released Thursday) covers his arrival in LA, his early days here hustling on the street and going straight. As always, thank you for listening!

Burlesque: Kirby LaBrea Was In Bye Bye Birdie
Kirby LaBrea is a bit of a rarity - a boylesquer making his mark on the LA scene. While the biggest LaBrea fireworks are his dance moves, there’s massive fun to be had in this audio-only experience. Also, we sing. Twice.
Kirby LaBrea opens up on this episode and the range of topics is broad to say the least. From tear-away pants to ancestral slavery, we cover the gamut. Kirby has walked a winding road to the stage, the result of a late-in-life discovery of his passion for performance, despite both parents working in the creative arts. Once we get through the preliminary discussion, we ring the bell. A lot. Solutions! Mansplanations! O-Sounds! All that and much (MUCH!) more!
