When Hollywood & I parted company back in 2001, I made a vow that if I ever returned to the business we call show, it would only be on my terms. And back in 2001 that would have been virtually impossible. But now it is 2015, and times have changed.
I've started a podcast. Entitled "Get Off My Lawn" because I am nothing if not a lovable curmudgeon, the podcast is devoted to writers, writing, and those who work in the creative side of the arts. I've been planning it for months, conducting interviews over the last several weeks, and working out the technical end of things to the point when I am now, finally, ready to announce. I want the podcast to be a celebration of words and music and entertainment. I want it to showcase good people who produce amazing content. I want it to feature interesting and fun interviews filled with stories of artists and their craft. Currently I've posted a sort of introductory podcast, a teaser of things to come. The first official episode will drop on Sunday, September 27th and feature a way-cool interview with Bill Scheft, longtime writer on both Late Night with David Letterman and Late Show with David Letterman. We talk about some of the most memorable moments from Dave's decades in late night TV. We talk about Jay Leno, Bill Maher, and Scheft's new book, "Shrink Thyself," which is a dark comedy I recommend. Future guests include Bob Perlow, longtime sitcom writer and professional warm-up guy (stories from Mork & Mindy and Night Court that must be heard to be believed); Vic Cohen, the subject of a documentary by Howie Mendel that has been over 15 years in the making (recorded live in Canter's Deli the day before the Jewish new year); and Rench, the man behind the group Gangstagrass, best known for their Emmy nominated theme from the FX series "Justified."

I've been working hard on this for some time. Having completed post-production on a couple of the interviews, I think this could be the start of something big. -- Kevin M.
