Musicians: Pancakes, Music and Light Conversation with Robert Parker Jr. and Jennifer Foster

Musicians Robert Parker Jr and Jennifer Foster discuss finding ones network, contending with imposter syndrome and whether or not Prince was a phony.

The ever-growing network continues to grow! And grow again! If you follow our non-Fishbowl work, you’re already familiar with Robert Parker Jr. and his collaborations with Swinky (at Babylon Cabaret and strolling down the beach). We finally do the deep dive with Robert and midway through the conversation, who should jump on mic but Jennifer Foster. Swinky, Robert and Jennifer chop it up on the music front while Jesse tries to name all of the 7 dwarves. Get out your pen and pad because we’re going to be talking about a lot of musicians that you may not have heard of but will certainly want to check out. As always, thanks for listening!

Music: Navigating Cultures of Competition With Miss Charity Lockhart

Miss Charity Lockhart discusses family, putting together a tribute show and how compassion can get you the edge in an industry rife with competition.

In the history of The Hollywood Fishbowl, this conversation is easily the most likely to never have happened. Swinky first met Miss Charity Lockhart in Korea at a swing festival where the two were booked as co-headliners. While Charity was tearing up the stage and Swinky was contending with some serious imposter syndrome. To hear the story of what went right, you have to listen to the episode (spoiler: by dint of this episode existing, you can guess that there’s a happy ending). As always, thank you for listening!

MWP - Weiko Lin Is Bad At Keeping (Crazy Screenwriting) Secrets To Himself

Author, screenwriter, Nichols-finalist and MFA-haver Weiko Lin is on The Hollywood Fishbowl to bring his inside knowledge of how we can improve filmmaking, international coproductions and life in general.

Author, screenwriter, teacher and international jet-setter Weiko Lin fills up a room with personality. Wouldn’t you know it, he can also fill a podcast with industry insight and wisdom. This conversation is guided by the contents of his book Crazy Screenwriting Secrets, now available through Michael Wiese Productions. Throughout the conversation, we don’t just talk screenwriting and filmmaking, Weiko talks a fair bit about how we can improve our relationship with China and how the American and the Chinese film industries can best coproduce. When we get to The Fishbowl, we get questions on Robert Redford (@al_lafleur), limitless dreaming and life on mars (@riceperloff). As always, thanks for listening!

Little Tokyo: Mariko Lochridge Invests Daily And Dollarly

Kicking off our maxi-series on Little Tokyo is community organizer, journalist and all-around-terrific person, Mariko Lochridge.

Mariko Lochridge jumped back and forth between America and Japan quite a bit growing up. These international interests and ambitions eventually led her to a career in journalism, a career that allowed her to maintain her global mindset. Everything changed when she discovered the challenges and rewards of community organization and local level politics. It’s this think locally/act locally approach that led her to the Little Tokyo Service Center in Downtown Los Angeles, which in turn led to this very mini-series. Since Mariko is producer on this series, we decided to reserve the first block in the deepest dive to date on The Hollywood Fishbowl for her. Get ready for 10 episodes on the past, present and future of Little Tokyo as told through the eyes of historians, community organizers, legacy business owners and up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
