Episode #240: Jennifer Silva Redmond TALKS Honeymoon At Sea

08/05/23 • 34 min

It is a pleasure to welcome author and freelance editor Jennifer Silva Redmond as my latest guest on The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
Her essays, articles, and fiction have been published in numerous anthologies, magazines, and sites such as Brevity. She is on the staff of the Southern California Writers Conference and San Diego Writers, Ink, and was the prose editor of A Year in Ink: Volume Three and the co-founder of the critically acclaimed Sea of Cortez Review. Jennifer is the current Editor-at-Large of Sunbelt Publications.
On September 19, 2023, Jennifer will release her memoir: Honeymoon at Sea. The memoir focuses on the honeymoon with her husband, Russel Redmond, where the duo sailed to Mexico. The honeymoon tested their relationship, not just through rocky waters and unexpected weather, but now living on a twenty-six-foot sailboat makes one reconsider what’s truly important. On their first voyage, the couple sailed Watchfire to Baja’s Sea of Cortez, where they spent a year before sailing south along Mexico, Central America, and through the Panama Canal. Jennifer’s unique experience on the boat weaves back and forth through time as she explores the events that led her to take the first step onto the boat – from her children to the time she spent as a struggling actor in New York City.
In this edition of The Jakes Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Jennifer Silva Redmond opened up on several themes that readers will see expect to encounter as they read the book, including having healthy communication on the boat, the cost of living, and the learning curve of operating a sailboat and doing every job.

Episode #239: Danny Casale TALKS Coolman Coffeedan, Spesh's Origin & Shanghai Exhibit

It is a privilege to welcome digital creator and artist Danny Casale to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
Known as Coolman Coffeedan, Danny became a YouTuber instead of pursuing a traditional career in film and television after graduating from film school. Although his first animation, Snakes Have Legs, became an overnight sensation, Danny Casale’s dream of becoming a people’s artist started when he was a child living in Long Island, New York. He rode the wave of the Internet to share his doodles with the world, creating vivid animals and humans with plots and sounds, giving them real-life experience and fancy about the world. The individuality of his signature characters, Spesh and Blue Dude reflect the human beings they embody.
Recently, Danny Casale launched his first global exhibition at B3 K11 Art Mall in the Huangpu District in Shanghai, China. The exhibit, “Dumb Dreams and Messy Hands,” is sponsored by brand partners FARFETCH and Hisense. It hints at Danny’s growth trajectory as an artist while reminding exhibit attendees of the importance of putting thought into action and staying true to ourselves. To encourage the infinite potential of emerging art, FARFETCH will present a themed space in “Dumb Dreams and Messy Hands” with a childlike interactive game installation outlining an incredibly whimsical world. The exclusive device partner Hisense TV integrates its ULED televisions to help build an extensive exhibition with remarkable audiovisuals which energized the Coolman Universe.
In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Danny Casale shared Spesh’s origin story and spoke about his most personal YouTube video: “Surviving the Worst Year of My Life.” He also discussed the "Dumb Dreams and Messy Hands" exhibit, launched July 7 and will run through October 7.
