Hi! I Think You're Nice!

Did you know that the Harry Potter series has been out for over 20 years? For Potter nerds like me and my cousin Cindy, it feels like just yesterday.

We geek out about our favorite HP characters and moments. We cover the books, the midnight release parties, the movies, the theme parks, and the conventions! If you’re a PotterHead, then you will love this episode!

John Gracey visited Gatorland when he was a kid and has been going back ever since. He’s the one who introduced Gatorland to me! Gatorland is a 70 year old institution and it’s an ever changing, ever evolving place that celebrates one of Florida’s most plentiful and fascinating creatures, alligators.

However! There is a whole lot more to Gatorland than just alligators. They have a lot of interesting animals and unique, thrilling shows such as the Gator Jumparoo. (The Gator Jumparoo is to Gatorland as Hamilton is to Broadway.)

The fine folks at Gatorland also rescue alligators and teach the public about alligator safety. There is so much to learn and enjoy!

Please have fun as we walk through one of Florida’s most cherished and iconic theme parks.

Eric Pinder has two primary passions in life. Hockey and opera. Today, we’re going to hear all about opera! (We’ll get to hockey next time.)

The stories told in opera are beautiful, breathtaking, epic, and suuuuuuuper sad. Though the plots of operas aren’t always “nice” persay, talking and learning about opera is very nice, indeed!

Please enjoy this spirited episode where Eric shares so much! Including where the blonde braided opera lady with the horned helmet comes from!

Have fun and thanks for being here!

Ryan Gigliotti is quite the dinosaur enthusiast. He knows his stuff and is excited to share it! Ryan has been on a paleontologist dig site, he’s a guide at Dinosaur World, and he has a few dinosaur news bombshells to drop on ya. (Or at least it was big news to me!)

Plus, he’s nice and has interesting things to share about dinosaurs and otherwise!

Enjoy and thanks for being here. You’re great!

Emmy Award winning Joe Guppy is a TV writer, actor, improviser, coach, author, producer, and nice person!

Do we talk about his accomplishments in the entertainment industry? Nope! Instead, we take a stroll through Joe’s music collection. We discuss the influence musical groups had on him as a high school “goody-goody” and into his professional life as an artist.

From Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin to Talking Heads and B.B. King, this episode covers a lot of outstanding musicians. How did Joe’s interest in Rod Stewart lead him to Sam Cooke? Will Joe and I get into a fight about the vocal stylings of Robert Plant? Why did my grandma come up a few times in our conversion about rock music? Listen and find out!

Thanks for being here and I hope you enjoy the episode!
