Host: @RileyJamesIAC (Twitter & Instagram) | Our Hashtag: #IAC2 | This show is a remake of an old show. Interviews will be done with anyone and everyone we can get our hands on from actors to athletes to musicians, to just some friends of mine. This is our podcast and I welcome you to all of it.
Dr. Laura is back!! We welcome an IAC favorite to the show after almost 18 months away. Laura tells us the tale of the death of America's Favorite Doctor, her new home of Miami, Florida, she asks us about Gen Z answers to modern-day healthcare and insurance, and she also asks who is the Messi guy on the backs of all these shirts on South Beach. The chat is fun, as always, with Laura and ended with the return of the Lightning Round.

Hey! Thanks for hanging out. We know it's been an odd year from the IAC side. A lot of projects are going on here in Louisiana and we're still learning how to manage them all, but we're trying and admitting when we're wrong.
You deserve better shows from us. We have a higher standard for ourselves... and it's time we take ownership of that. We want to fix it, even if it means we only do one each month for a while. We'd rather give you one good show that's longer than two lazy shows that are less than an hour long.
We'll get back to two shows a month soon, but this feels like the sustainable move with Sports & Other Drugs and the United Soccer Lounge gaining their legs under the IAC Productions banner.
Lastly, thanks for listening to us. We really appreciate you and we'll get the show back to the podcast you started to listen to with people that fit the IAC model.

Noa grew up in Boston, liked talking about basketball, and made the goal to make that her job. She tells us about her unorthodox journalism training, when she figured out when she could write well (and not so well, apparently), being a woman in sports, her other passions outside of journalism and the Celtics, and the return of the Lightning Round.

Happy Birthday! IAC turns 7 years old!
Two-part show today as we celebrate, we welcome back Glynn Hill of the Washington Post to chat about Sports Illustrated, when he figured out that he was good at writing, what he's learned at the Post, and Caitlin Clark. Then, after Glynn, I look back at seven years, our one show in March, and what the next few months will look like.

As we are a Louisiana-based podcast, it felt fitting to do this and with the support of the folks at Spotify, we did. Dr. Yevan Terrien is a visiting instructor of Louisiana History and Early American History at the University of Louisiana. We asked about the origins, traditions, and different methods of honoring the holiday, from city to city, and how it's celebrated outside of the United States. Bonus points if you can name the first capital of Louisiana. Thanks for indulging us and happy Mardi Gras!

To kickoff 2024, we have on friend of the program, two-time World Cup veteran, and FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas to chat about a few things. First and foremost, the game/show of social media, but the dangers of using the stage. After that, Alexi jumps into his view on politics in America and how folks talk about it in the current landscape. Next, we moved to his love of music, the story of his tour with Hootie & The Blowfish, his studio albums, and his favorite artists from the past and today. Lastly, he talks about Rob Stone, Carli Lloyd, and his Australian adventure for the World Cup.

Typical December show format. Our lone show this month featured an honest look back at 2023 from the on-air performance to the behind-the-scenes stories of the year. It also includes goals for 2024, but it's not what you think. Lastly, the return of the IAC-famous Bowl Game with Graham Capobianco (101, 105) and pro golfer Jevon Perry (104). We appreciate you and thank you for another great year and look forward to 2024!

This is the final show of our AI x IAC series where we discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on modern and future journalism.

We also react to the report on Sports Illustrated using AI-generated fake reporters, we discuss ethics and how to use the new resources and share fears of the future of news and what to trust.

This is the second show of our AI x IAC series where we discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on modern and future journalism. Continuing our series, we have Chuck Booth of CBS on. This was a great chat since we shared the same fears, levels of concern, and opinions on how it can be used for good. He lays out each level of good, and bad, and how to moderate it as we continue to see how it evolves.

Sabrina Belmonte is a friend of the show. She recently became a mother, which seems really hard. So, we asked about that. Then, the conversation shifts to two American soccer players in Italy, which turns into a conversation about corruption, geography, David Beckham, Lionel Messi playing in Miami, Canada, and gratification. Great show? Great show.

Thankful to have done my second World Cup and worked with some great men and women through our coverage of Australia-New Zealand, but we had some pretty dark moments and we decided to take a show to discuss the human element of covering a tournament on the other side of the planet and the toll it took on my health, life, and my family. This show is hosted by our friend, Cam Awesome. Thank you for letting me have episodes like this.

Also, happy birthday to us. IAC turns 6 years old on day of release.

This one got off the rails quickly... we had Christina Flach, the CEO of Pretty Girl Makeup on to chat about her company, working with Hollywood's best and brightest stars, and handjobs(?).

Fresh off a work trip from the glittery Arabian nation of Qatar, John Strong returns to the show (Ep. 8) for the first time since his post-Russian World Cup tell-all. John talks to us about the close quarters of a Qatari winter, the pressures of doing USMNT World Cup games as an American, his own day-to-day to keep himself sharp, and plenty more of the famous off-the-clock stories of being the only English speaker in the room.
Stay tuned after the interview for an IAC update heading into the spring.

Tom Donohue is a music producer, the Director of Product for Kitcaster, an action junkie, and a huge cryptocurrency supporter. I'm sure you can imagine we had a lot of questions about that. The state of modern music, what it means to have the natural ability to ride a snowboard, and what the bleep is an NFT were all featured questions in our hour-long conversation. We also talk Kitcaster and all it's done for out show.

We enlisted the help of the HGA Erika Rodriguez to talk about everything V-Day. Dates, gifts, ideas, and more. The conversation shifted to the cultural emphasis on Feb. 14th and the childhood expectations that elementary school, film, and the generations before have passed down that Erika still deals with as an adult. Lastly, the chat moves to the DMs. How do you DM a girl without being weird? Don't be weird. She gives us Do's and Don't's.

To start 2023, we invited Dave Sims, the TV voice of the Seattle Mariners, on the show to talk about being one of the very few Black PxP commentators in the history of Major League Baseball. He shares his story as a young kid in Philly, his migration to New York, and the winding road that landed him a prominent job in the PNW. Storytelling, our love for the art of broadcasting, and the new pathway for Black sportscasters fill our 53-minute conversation. What a way to start 2023.

Our last show of 2022!
We chat about the year that was with IAC. Our wins, best shows, and how we accomplished what we set out to do when we made our goals on 2021's December Show.
The first guest for the Bowl Game was Dr. Laura Purdy! Her knowledge about college football is almost nonexistent, but she had a fun time guessing at our list.
The third segment is our goals, ambitions, and what to expect for 2023 and If Anyone Cares with new resources, a partnership, and a rejuvenated vigor for making the best possible content.
The second guest for the Bowl Game was Alexis Hardwick, again, no knowledge of the sport, so let's see how this goes.
Lastly, we thank you for another great year. You’re the best and we always care for you. See you in ‘22.

Writing for TV isn't easy, but neither is working for (bleep), so you might as well fail at something you love because you could very easily fail at something you don't love. Ryan Wintle rejoins the show to talk about his new career path of screenwriting and how it has its different challenges from our old show, R&R. We also dig deep into the Community movie that will be produced by Peacock. Come hang out.

Ever felt stuck and like you need a change of scenery? So did college soccer player, Helene Farris. A brilliant high school career in San Antonio led her to a D1 offer from UTSA, the school right down the road, but after realizing she may not fit into the Roadrunners' future, she entered the transfer portal... and that's where Ep. 77 starts. We chat about the decision, the portal, recruitment, preparing for transition, and a lot more that actually led us to Johnny Depp, so stick around for that, I guess.

This was an accident. It was never meant to be its own show, but our "segment" idea for Ep. 75 went from 20 minutes to about 65 minutes. With the length and content of the show, we decided to keep it and make it Ep. 76. Mackenzie Thirkill interviews Riley about the 5th year anniversary and the process of the show, their friendship, what the show has provided... and the Lightning Round. Shoutout Dua Lipa.

Conversation included talk of how Calcasieu Parish (our local “county”) handled the shutdown, what the summer was like, the return to school, Hurricane Laura, Hurricane Delta, the 2021 Winter Storms in Louisiana/Texas, and the major flood that struck our city in May 2021… yeah, I know.

Our last show of 2021!
@RileyJamesIAC talks about the year that was with IAC, the behind the curtain things about the last 12 months, and runs through the best and worst moments of the show’s year.
First guest for the Bowl Game was our favourite Canadian, Sabrina Belmonte! Her knowledge about college football is almost nonexistent, but she had a fun time guessing at our list.
Third segment is previewing 2022. Some new ideas for different types of episodes, potential guests, and projected growth of the show were all topic of conversation as we head into Year 5 of If Anyone Cares.
The second guest for the Bowl Game was Ana Bellinghausen. The sports reporter’s intellect about college football is the biggest thing to watch going into that part of the show.
Lastly, we thank you for another great year. You’re the best and we always care for you. See you in ‘22.
