Too Many Podcasts! (Exploring podcasts w/ Jim the Podcast Sherpa)

Hey there, Sherpateers! Do you know what time it is? Time to talk Disney! And I was lucky enough to find Brice, who hosts both "The Nocturnal Disney Podcast" and "Twilight Thoughts". Listening to the interview, you can tell how much joy Disney has brought to Brice's life. He's been going since he was a kid, and still knows how to make a great day at Disney World as an adult. He's even passionate about Disney programming, as well. The man clearly knows his M-O-U-S-E. Plus, he has 2 informative and fun podcasts to support it. AND, you don't have to wait on a long line to listen to it, either! So, start the Main Street Parade, launch the fireworks, and get me a $30.00 bottle of water...let's talk Disney with Brice! #VivaLaSherpalution!

Happy New Year, Rebels! Are you ready to get organized? That may seem like a big step for some, but Kathy's podcast makes it an easy, small step for everyone. ("That's one small step for people, one giant leap for organization!" Or something like that.) Kathy admittedly started on her organizing skills at a young age, and was able to parlay that into a career. I had no idea there was actually a board to determine Certified Professional Organizers. I guess if I showed up and couldn't find my pen that would be an instant fail? Her podcast is a great starting point for people who want to learn why they are disorganized and how to do something about it. It's such a great starting point that she so kindly allowed me to use an episode of her podcast for an upcoming episode of my podcast, The Expert Factory. Keep your eyes and ears tuned for that, but listen to her podcast in the meantime. You know how I love an informational podcast!

That's it for this week's edition of the Sherpa Sheet. I'm looking forward to the shows and topic we'll be covering in 2020. I can't believe I'm already more than halfway through Season 2 already! Next week's topic...Science vs. the Internet, with my guests Nick and Lauren of "Just Na Science". Don't say "Na" to THIS show! #VivaLaSherpalution!

A little bit of a change-up this week, but don't worry, my supply of bad jokes for the podcast is untouched. It's okay to discuss grief on a podcast that has a tendency to get silly on occasion, and Lisa Joy was the right person for this discussion. You'd think that a podcast with the word "Widow" in the title wouldn't raise your spirits, but for this show, you'd be wrong. You can tell how her family has pulled together in a time of tragedy, and provides not only support for one another, but support for the listeners of her program. My advice to you? Learn to be a "joyster", even though it's not always the easiest thing in the world. You'll see how Lisa is in touch with her spiritual side sand how it brings her comfort in the time of her husband Doug's passing. Although I never knew him, I'm sure Doug was a lucky man to have lived the life he did, and others are lucky to have remembered his impact on them as well. I'm guessing when I get called to that big Podcastia in the sky, peoples' fondest memory of me will be "So glad he finally learned to eat using utensils." (It's a start.)

Most of you know your Podcast Sherpa, and you know there's nothing like a unique podcast to catch his ear. And boy, did I find one! Enter Scott Johnson, computer expert, to fry our circuit boards! (Hey, YOU try to come up with a clever computer analogy.) What Was That Like is all at once gritty, funny, twisted, and very real. Kind of like a breakfast at IHOP. Oh wait, I better not discuss meals, given one of the podcast episodes we discuss! Let's just focus on the lady who married a wrong number, shall we? Check out his show. It's the slice of life that gets left in the back of the fridge...oh wait, there I go again, discussing food! Ok, time for the sherpa to go to his happy place.....

What a great time i had speaking with Joanne Wilson! Podcaster, neuropsychotherapist, counselor,blogger, radio personality,writer, wife, mom of 3...I think I would get a hernia again holding her business card! She really provided a lot of insight into the workings of the brain and how to keep a marriage strong. But I'm positive that those of you who have read her writings or listened to her radio appearances or podcasts already knew that! (Also, her website is worth checking out, too) You can tell that she really cares about people and wants to help those who need it. LOVE her mantra of "It is never too late to begin.". How true is that for all of us?? People like her make me glad that I get to do this. (Okay I think I've gushed enough...do I get a free "Is This Love?" t-shirt now?) But seriously, I consider myself very lucky to have interviewed her. Plus! Chemistry without Bunsen burners! Jo tries not to hit her husband's car! Conversation starters that won't land you in court! The sherpa's parents give marital advice! Plus, a long-distance dedication that didn't need Casey Kasem!
