https://igg.me/at/WhatDwellsBeneath/x/5637964#/

Synopsis: In the dark underbelly of a seemingly peaceful mountainous landscape lies an abandoned cave, whispered about in hushed tones among the most adventurous thrill-seekers. What once was a refuge for ancient ritualists, opened to the public as a tourist destination in 1912 before quickly being shut down after a series of accidents, it now stands as a forgotten relic of the past, saturated with untold secrets and unspeakable horrors.

Led by the intrepid and enigmatic explorers, Jordan, Beau, and Gray, our team of urban adventurers sets out to unravel the mysteries lurking within the shadows. As they delve deeper into the eerie caverns, they unwittingly awaken an ancient malevolence, a primordial force that thrives on fear and chaos.

Now, with their lives hanging by a thread, the team must confront their darkest fears and confront the unfathomable terror that threatens not only their existence but the very fabric of reality itself. Armed with only their wits, resilience, and the bond forged in the face of unimaginable terror, they must find a way to survive What Dwells Beneath

The band who combine metal with swing | Shoo Bee Doom | TMIP | Interview 30

Wed, 21 Jun 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Tell me something... Swing and metal, they shouldn't go together, right? Shoo Bee Doom would disagree with you. In this episode, we talk about why this combo works so well, how they met as a band, and how their different creative processes work together to make Shoo Bee Doom the most epic swing metal ever.

We also deep dive into their music. I love these kinds of episodes because I learn so much. Music is more than just things that sound nice. There is a meaning and a message behind every lyric and every instrument, from the most fun songs through to the most depressing and melancholy songs.

About Shoo Bee Doom

Shoo Bee Doom is more than just a band. We're a group of musicians on a mission to bring swing and metal together in a way that no one has ever seen before. As we write the songs, we pour our hearts and souls into every performance, fusing our passions to create a truly unforgettable experience. Shoo Bee Doom started their journey as a couple's activity of the singer and the guitarist (who are married) and progressed to be an actual band with the extra help of the keyboardist. They started the band in 2022 and are focusing on mental health, self-development, inner self, and self-discovery topics. All of the band members are coming mainly from the metal world originally but recently discovered the charm of electro swing and this is where the inspiration for creating a band that combines the upbeat sound of electro swing together with the power of metal comes from.

Feeddrop 4: Think Inclusive (plus update from me)

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 09:30:15 +0000

I’ve got another feed drop for you but before I do that, got a bit of an update for you.

Update from Tom

As you may have noticed, I’ve not been publishing many episodes, and instead doing these feeddrops. Don’t worry, I’m just stalling for time, I’ve already recorded a whole bunch of interesting interviews that I’m mega excited to share with you, and throughout April, I’ve got a whole bunch that I get to record.

As such, I’m going to launch the new season on Monday May 22th.

I’m also going to the Podcast show on the 25th May, if you’re going to, let me know. I’d love to meet up and make some new connections. I’m mega excited because this will be my very first podcast event.

Today's Feeddrop

Tim Villegas is the host of the Think Inclusive Podcast, which aims to build connections between families, educators, and disability rights advocates to create a shared understanding of inclusive education and what inclusion looks like in the real world.

In this episode, you can hear a really interesting conversation between Tim and Dr. Ross Greene. Dr. Greene discusses behaviour in schools, what schools are getting right and wrong about supporting learners with challenging behaviour, and an alternative lens for educators to view behaviour in all learners.

As a private tutor working in the SEN space, I care deeply about this topic. I support students to either re-enter mainstream education or provide an alternative educational provision.

Feeddrop 3: The Dead Drop Podcast

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 21:03:06 +0000

The Filmmaker Who Dared to Make a Film about North Sentinel Island | Jonathan Perry | Interview 26

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 20:15:05 +0000

Award winning filmmaker Jonathan Perry talks to me about "Sentinelese", his latest project which explores the isoloated people of North Sentinel Island. In 2006, islanders killed two fishermen whose boat had drifted ashore, and in 2018 an American Christian missionary was killed after bribing local fishermen to transport him to the island. I talk to Jonathan about why he would make a film about people who have made it very clear that they don't want any contact with the outside.

We also dive deep into Jonathan's other projects, and take a look behind the scenes at how a film gets made.

Edit: if you are seeing this and the epsiode length is 01:04:21, you have the updated version of the epsiode.

This is one of those episodes where I beg you to just sit back and take on board everything Terry has to say.

Some of the most interesting people that I’ve met in my life haven’t been those that haven’t stuck to one thing, rather they are the people who wear multiple hats and in other words, stick their fingers in as many different pies as possible.

My guest today is Terry Turcker, and i’ve been at a lost as to what questions to ask because he has done so much.

Terry is the founder of Motivational Check LLC but before that he has also been a college basketball player, a marketing executive, a hospital administrator, a SWAT Team Hostage Negotiator, a high school basketball coach, a business owner, a motivational speaker, and most recently, a cancer warrior.

EP22: HE'S MY DOPPELGANGER!!! - How to run a D&D show! | Leland Steel

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 20:44:52 +0000

Leland Steel grew up in a suburb of Vancouver, BC, Canada. He was a stereotypical introvert and enthusiast of nerdy things, keeping a close-knit group of friends who spent their time playing street hockey, video games, Magic: The Gathering, and board games, as well as consuming all kinds of films. This group of friends became known as T-Hud, a very "clever" abbreviation for The Neighbourhood, since they all lived on the same street.

It wasn't until his early- to mid-20s that he got into TTRPGs and the hobby tabletop gaming industry. This prompted him to start The T-Hud Podcast, a podcast covering video games, board games, and movies, which has been going for over five years, as well as his actual play show, The Incorrigible Party, which has been running for over three years and is quickly coming to an end. This is an incredibly bittersweet and significant milestone for them.

Andrew wrote his first book, 'The A-Z of Cats', in 1984 at the age of eight. Since then, he has spent as much time as possible writing, making music, and enjoying life. Most of his time is now devoted to making and performing music. He also runs an SEO agency and is a cheerful member of Toastmasters International. He is still waiting to hear back from the publishers about whether they want to publish 'The A-Z of Cats'... I don't know about you, but I want that book to happen. Let's start a GoFundMe!

E20: Al Alignment, AI Podcasts & The Future of AI | Sam Plank

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 07:00:00 +0000

AI is already here, whether we like it or not. In the art world, AI is present in the form of art generators like Midjourney and Dall-e. In communication, we can converse with Chat GPT, or open Notion and ask the AI to write an introduction. AI has now found its way into the podcasting world.

Leave a Review on GOODPODS

www.goodpods.com/podcasts/tom-meets-interesting-people-213696

About the episode

My guest today is Sam Plank, the founder and CEO of Dubb, an AI marketing tool for podcasters. We discussed the implications of recent AI models such as Dall-e, Stable Diffusion, and Mid Journey and ChatGPT. We also talked about the importance of AI alignment and reducing biases in AI models, as well as the implications of using AI in the legal profession. But, of course, there are concerns about the use of AI in our everyday lives: should we rely on it? Should we trust it? Is AI something more than just a tool and what are our lives going to look like along side AI?

If you have even a passing interest in AI, you don't want to miss this episode.

Sam previously worked as a data scientist at Facebook and Quora. He is a founding fellow at the Integrity Institute, a non-profit that advances the theory and practice of protecting the social internet. He holds a B.A. in Applied Math from Harvard University, where he was the managing editor of the Harvard Political Review and wrote an undergraduate thesis on the relationship between protest and social media.

E15: Reflecting on the first season

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 07:00:00 +0000

Hey all, so I don't have a guest today, instead, I've got a behind-the-scenes special for you. When this episode goes out, I'll be at my graduation and then make questionable life choices under the influence of alcohol in the evening.

In this episode, I reflect on the past season; what went well, what didn't and what I want to change.

E14: Martin Whiskin: How to be a voiceover artist!

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 07:00:00 +0000

In the last episode of the season, I met Martin Whiskin to talk about how a voiceover artist makes a living, what goes into the work, and how a voiceover artist can help a business stand out from the crowd.

You can check out the deep-dive reflection on my Substack, where I talk about what I learned and sum up this episode: https://tommeetsinterestingpeople.substack.com/

Martin Whiskin is a voiceover artist who has lent his voice to Lego, RAF, Mercedes, NHS and BMW, to name a few, but his background is much more corporate and far less creative than voiceover.

He worked as a data manager for 20 years while trying to be a "rock star" and was made redundant around the same time he realized that he wasn't good enough to be a famous musician.

Martin was left looking at the skills he'd built up over the years during his time in bands, photography, design, videos etc., to see if any of those skills could be monetized. They couldn't! What was good enough for punk bands wasn't good enough to sell to businesses… but in a roundabout way, this led him to voiceover. Something that, having never had any plans to do anything even remotely like it, he is in love with.

Time Stamps:

03:13 Voice Actor? Voice Artist

03:54 They're not going to fire us, right? - Starting in Voice Over

06:59 The X-factor/BGT Guy

07:42 How being made redundant gave Martin the push he needed.

09:08 What skills does Martin use as a voiceover artist?

12:28 How to prepare for a new voiceover job?

14:25 Mic technique for podcaster/beginner voice over

16:29 What directions can clients give to help voiceover artists

19:05 How long will a voiceover job take

21:08 Martin's favourite job

22:59 Why it's better to get a pro to record the voiceover you need rather than record it yourself

31:57 What do they mean by a treated room? - talking about gear and equipment

36:53 Why networking is important to Martin

42:45 STEVE!!! Let me on your show!!!

EP10: Tommy Burke: Film, Parkinson's and Writing

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 10:10:00 +0000

Tommy Burke was one of the most well-known and liked people behind the scenes in Chicago PD, Skin, CSI Miami, and the pilot for Desperate Housewives. Tommy talked to me about his battle with Parkinson's, his experience in film and putting that all on paper.

Tom Meets Interesting People is the podcast where I will interview anyone from nuclear engineers to voice actors.

We will discuss the guest's work, their processes, what they are passionate about and what makes them get up in the morning.

Each episode will end with my adaptation of the Proust Questionnaire popular by Bernard Pivot and the late great James Lipton (my hero.)

This episode is also up on youtube. I have been experimenting with the video format, do check it out.

More about Tommy

A graduate of Boston College, Tommy Burke started out in television as a Production Assistant in the eighties, while working other odd jobs—from bar bouncer, golf caddy to factory assemblyman—to sustain the meager TV industry income. His height and physical build came in handy, scoring him a gig loading grip trucks for Powerhouse Films, which further exposed him to commercials and films in and around the New England area. He soon became the ‘go to’ guy of Production Assistants in Boston, working every motion picture produced around Massachusetts at that time, including Mermaids and *The Kennedys of Massachusetts*.

After a move to Los Angeles in 1990, Burke quickly moved up the production ranks, working as First Assistant Director on an independent film with Johnny Depp. Nicknamed “the Irish Bull” by his west coast colleagues, Burke went on to secure Assistant Director credits on productions including the film Close to Home*, Jerry Bruckheimer’s acclaimed TV series *Skin*, *CSI Miami*, and the pilot for *Desperate Housewives*, and many others. He spent the last five years of his film career on location in Chicago, working as First Assistant Director on Dick Wolf’s long-running series, *Chicago PD from 2014-2019.

In 2003, Burke was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He kept right on working. Three years of doctor visits, nine operations and midnight chemotherapy infusions were all included in part of his rigorous, 14-hour shoot-day routine. To no surprise given his well-known tenacity, Burke conquered the disease into remission mostly by himself. The experience empowered him to take inventory of his life, specifically his trade, leading him to approach his career from an alternative perspective that was better aligned with his personal values. In a plot twist deserving of any big-budget production, 2019 brought with it another bump in the road; this time, it was Parkinson’s Disease at age 56. Again forced to take stock of his life, Tommy Burke hung up his AD walkie and returned to the west coast to enlist all of his drive, determination, spirit, stubbornness, and good humor in the second battle of his life.

Tommy Burke is best known in the industry for his talent, perseverance, and respectful collaboration with colleagues on all levels. And his one-liners.

E09: Mr Slade: Growing Up Gay, Rupaul in the Mainstream Media and Musical Inspirations

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Being surrounded by people that accept you, like you and encourage you to be you, and learning to love yourself and knowing others love you is the best feeling in the entire world. LGBTQ artist Mr Slade experienced this love and acceptance when he was 16 and now uses his music to give a little bit of that acceptance back to the gay community.

For me, I needed this interview, and that’s something that I didn’t realise until I was writing this episode description. I found that I suddenly had a connection to the queer kids who came before me. I learned a bit more about my own gay history, and while on the face of it, this is just an interview with a musician, under it all, there is gay 16-year-old me standing in disbelieve that I’m both so open and listening to someone and chatting with someone who’s music goes against every part of his catholic conservative upbringing

We talked about growing up gay and Mr Slade’s musical inspirations. Like so many who aspire to make music, it usually comes from being “bored” in their everyday jobs. While working his boring retail job, MR. Slade’s music career began. His goal is to create music that was fun and high energy but also aggressive, inspired mainly by music from the 80s and 90s, taking elements from that era and giving it a more updated interpretation.

01:51: How shit was that retail job?

E08: Dr Federico Farini: Spaces, History and Love Island

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 05:00:00 +0000

How can we make spaces work for the people who use them? How is history used as a tool to suit power?

Federico takes pride in their commitment to a positive impact on communities that characterises his research and teaching. Working with European and national Agencies and regional and Local Authorities, his research concerns the inclusion of migrant children and young people in education, youth subcultures and cultural studies, migrant-friendly services, conflict management, intercultural education, client-centred interpreting in healthcare and education, and the role of digital media in the diffusion of knowledge.

E06: Mac McGregor: Masculinity, Trans Issues & Activism

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 20:01:07 +0000

As men, we are told from a young age that we're supposed to be competitive, not collaborative. My guest on this episode asks us to re-examine this social condition as adults. We discuss how Andrew Tate is really scared and the difference between traditional and toxic masculinity. We also talk about how people can be better alleys for the LGBTQ+ Community and using our privilege to knock down barriers for each other.

Mac McGregor tells me his story of growing up in a competitive sporting environment in the bible belt in the 1960s and describing the magic letter F that follows you the rest of your life. He found that his gender didn’t fit and started changing his name to something more masculine at four years old. He started martial arts when he was 6, and by the time he was 17, he had won the US Lightweight fighting title. This opened up the world to him, and he found that there were more LGBTQ+ people out there. Sadly, despite his successes over a long career, he could not transition until he retired from the sport.

He started working in activism as a female athlete, campaigning for getting equal access to facilities and resources for female athletes and then moved to LGBTQ+ rights.

Mac is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Positive Masculinity, a non-profit that works to dismantle toxic masculinity and create a healthier model of masculinity for all people. Mac is also the author of the bestselling book, Positive Masculinity Now.
