Seems like a no-brainer to me. Except I never heard the first one, so I don't know what your voice is like. I assume Teddy Pendergrass, but that could just be a vibe I'm picking up.

Sure, let’s go with that. Although I would argue that it often comes closer to Troy McClure.

I enjoyed Obscurity Knocks and would like to listen to your new podcast as well.

Count me in! Think the wider scope of the project makes sense and gives you more flexibility with guests. It's always refreshing to hear interviews that are less tied to the publicity/promo tour for a new film/book/album than usual

100% on board for this. I remember listening to some of the Obscurity Knocks and being sympathetic to the audio issues. I do know that a proper usb microphone can go a long way towards improving quality.

I'm in. I'm here for the Curtis Armstrongs and Bruce McGills of the world. I've even read Curtis's book. I'm always interested in the outsider's view of Hollywood. Character actors. I love Ernest Borgnine's autobiography. A huge get for me would be someone like Michelle Meyrink. Or even the children of stars who've passed - for example Jerry Reed never got a biography on him, but his daughters are still alive. I'd love to hear stories from them. Or Quinton Reynolds, son of Burt, who keeps a low profile. As classic movies keep getting more classic each year, there's a growing market there.

Will, I really enjoyed these. If they are viable, I say, DO IT! I found them very entertaining and would appreciate hearing them again. Of course, I liked the actual Zoom call broadcasts better, AKA Will's talk show. I say that the theme song for Will's talk show should be "The Fanatic" by Felony.

Go for it! And, as you might be aware, Substack has an auto-transcription tool, at least in the sense that Spotify and Apple provided semi-decent auto-transcriptions in their apps. Definitely not the same as a proper transcript, but it's at least something for listeners. https://on.substack.com/p/transcription

You've got my endorsement. Also need Howard Jones and Bruce Hornsby as subjects - again. (I know you know that I know those two guys were GOLD during a certain *tenure*).
