The post ‘Deaf Artist’ Kelly O’Brien – Ep155 first appeared on Evan Wecksell.
Katy Grimes is the editor-in-chief of the California Globe and she always has a lot to write about. Focused on politics, Katy and Evan break down the woes of California while talking through prop 47 (addressing retail theft), homelessness, abortion, and more. Plus, what does the future hold for Governor Gavin Newsom? And what about Adam Schiff vs Steve Garvey this November? They even discuss the campaign of Robert F Kennedy, Jr. Katy also gets into the mechanics of journalism and how she acquires (and loses) sources. Finally, Katy and Evan watch along to Evan’s new song, “Radical Left Republican Dad.” There’s the awkward.
ON AMAZON: Is Katy Grimes really Holly Flax from The Office? Either way, this mug is for you: https://amzn.to/4aNjvnu.

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Nick Smith is a movie producer in Hollywood! As VP of Production for Paperclip Limited, his latest project is a feature length nostalgic young adult comedy SNACK SHACK. Think Superbad meets Fast Times at Ridgemont High! Hear its origin story and how the distribution quickly came together. Also, what got him into film? What’s it like being a movie producer? And what’s it like working with Yeardley Smith (the voice of Lisa Simpson)? All that and even some Theta Chi chat. Mildly awkward, but mostly entertaining!
In honor of Nick’s appearance, get some Cosmo’s Snack Shack pork meat sticks (for dogs) on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4cjw2Am

She is also the Executive Director of Freedom Of Religion – United Solutions (FOR-US), building an interfaith coalition of religious leaders who have united to protect the religious freedom of vaccine choice, helping thousands of Americans obtain religious vaccine exemptions for work and school. Most recently she is the author of the children’s book I’m Unvaccinated and That’s OK! published by Skyhorse Publishing and ICAN Press. In this interview hear her origin story, how Covid galvanized the vaccine choice movement and how celebrities have been blown away by her efforts. This conversation will be more candid than awkward.
