RSP #36 with Fee Waybill (The Tubes)

2/12/2021
It's rare to meet a hero. I have been a Tubes fan and, subsequently, a massive Fee Waybill fan by default since I was old enough to understand their music and subversive nature. They were a cosmic force, built in the 60's and unleashed on the world in the 70's. They had it all. Musicianship, showmanship, and crazy bonkers attitude. There was no stopping them. Interviewing Fee was a dream and if I have anything to say about it, the dream will continue another day soon. For now, you'll have...

RSP #35 with Serge Bagdasarov (iMiracle)

2/11/2021
Serge Bagdasarov is a walking miracle. When I say miracle, I mean yes.... literally a miracle. His life doesn't make any sense on paper, yet here he is... thriving and doing what it takes to live exceptionally, when he was guaranteed anything but. Serge comes from the meanest streets on the former Soviet Union and his story only gets more interesting and profound. When you hear what he has to say, you'll know this is a man on a mission. One of mercy and grace. One of hope and belief that...

RSP #21 with Dissona (Chicago)

2/5/2021
Dissona is a progressive metal band from the Chicago area. Don't you dare call them progressive metal, though. Truth is, Dissona isn't sure how you would quantify them, but I can tell you that they are great. Musically proficient and kind, the guys gave me an hour to completely annoy and question them, and they should have hung up on me. For that alone, I am humbled. Finally, this had to be the most uncomfortable interview I've ever held. The time lags made it increasingly frustrating, so...

RSP #34 with Mike Reno (Loverboy)

1/28/2021
Today, on Rockstar Superhero, we are blessed to have a conversation with the legendary front man, Mike Reno from the Canadian rock powerhouse, Loverboy. As we all know, Loverboy is pure rock and roll from a time when there wasn't so much of that on the airwaves, at least in the United States. In 1980, the music business was coming down from the disco era, and new era of musical styles were emerging. Clashing with bands that were driving the new wave bandwagon, Loverboy powered its way onto...

RSP #32 with Brian Roberts (Dreamworks Pictures)

5/8/2018
I met Brian in 2003 at a Roller coaster convention. Yes, there are actually Roller coaster conventions and yes, it's embarrassing to be a part of them. Turns out Brian was an upcoming Hollywood producer and I had no idea. When you don't know, you just become friends, and friends we are. 15 years later, we are still close and enjoy this conversation of random topics and some back history. Won't you join us?

RSP #31 with Ian Buchanan (The Bold and the Beautiful)

4/6/2018
This week (or should I say YEAR?) on the show, I had the blessing of speaking to the soap opera legend, Ian Buchanan and wow... what fun that was. I was incredibly intimidated, possibly because I also realized I was speaking with Dick Tremayne from the early 90's ABC show, Twin Peaks. Who can't submit to the legendary smile and charms of everyone's favorite Dick? Between his career in modeling, to the many times he's shifted from soap opera to soap opera (being killed off, etc), he's...

7/19/2017
Here's an interview with the amazing Procter & Gamble executive, Ray Brook of Summit Seekers. Incredible true story! Hear his exploits while hiking the PCT, Kayaking the Sea of Cortez, climbing various mountains around the world, or biking all 50 states, 10 provinces and still finding time for his amazing wife. Just wait until you hear his proposal story! You won't be able to stop listening, and I believe this is an IMPORTANT interview... one that you'll find tremendous value in and...

RSP #29 with Matt DiRito (Pop Evil)

6/5/2017
Matt DiRito is everything I ever hoped to be in a grownup. Handsome, talented, musical, gifted, artistic, brave, and so human. Matt is the bass player for the massively popular Pop Evil, a rock band with a unique sound, focus, and voice. Matt also runs the charity, Star Treatments. Star Treatments helps critically ill children get transportation support they need to get to hospitals and critical care facilities. Matt saw the need and took the shot. It's an amazing charity and I can't wait...

Every so often, I'm blessed with a fabulous guest that belies expectations. This week on the show, I have a chance to meet and chat with one of my favorite singers, Jim Grey, from Caligula's Horse. I love love love this band. I mean, I love them. Like LOVE them. Did I mention that I love them? Jim was a humorous, engaging gentleman. His whole style, his demeanor and skills are just so amazing in juxtaposition to what music surrounds him. I love this band. I can't stop saying it. Check...

RSP #27 with Martin Barrett (SOZO Wines)

5/14/2017
I was honored to meet Martin years ago at a private event for a well known international author and newspaper columnist. At that meeting, I was able to partake of his great wines, only then discovering that his company, SOZO Wines, does something remarkable. SOZO donates a significant portion of its profits to help those that cannot help themselves. Whether we are talking about homelessness, sex trafficking or the like, SOZO is there little by little to make its mark. In fact, if you buy his...

RSP #26 with Sam Fishman (Madison Rising)

4/9/2017
This episode of the Rockstar Superhero podcast features Sam Fishman, the drummer of the well known "most patriotic band in the world," Madison Rising. Sam came to me via another great friend from the midwest and I had a great time chatting. Sam is a very talented drummer, full of great groove and completely plays for the song. A great guy and fun personality, I found the best part was asking about his personal life and his passions. Like yours truly, Sam loves roller coasters. This makes...

RSI is proud to be back to share this amazing interview with one of our favorite musicians, the incomparable Diego Tejeida from the monstrously talented progressive rock band, Haken. Haken hails from London and Diego hails from Mexico. How did these 2 superpowers collide? Listen to the podcast and find out! Make sure you listen to the whole thing because we met in an odd (and probably not that unique) way. That said, I love this guy. He's so kind, gentle, lovely and talented, I cannot...

RSP #23 with Thomas Erak (The Fall of Troy)

12/18/2016
This week's show is one of those 'best moments' for me as an interviewer. I got to meet someone new to me and make a real connection. My guest is Thomas Erak of the post hardcore band, The Fall of Troy. What better guest to give to you, my listeners, for this week's show, right? It's rare that I get to talk to a real rock star.... what I mean by this is the fact that having a discussion with a very popular musician is usually loaded to the gills with banter about road life, rehearsals, sex,...

Check out this week's podcast with Annie Lobert from Hookers for Jesus and Destiny House in Las Vegas, NV. I thought I knew so much about her, but I was wrong. I hope you'll listen to this special superhero interview, because her story is redemptive and powerful and one everybody should hear. Originally, I had planned to ask her a number of crazy questions, but I only got 30 minutes with her, so I just let her tell what she could with the limited time. No matter what it was a giant...

This week's podcast is with the iconic Seattle rock group, Windowpane. Ever wanted to know what it's like to be a band for the greater part of 2 decades and wonder if your breakthrough is ever going to come? This interview gets you under the skin of the scenario. I'm pleased to know them and share their story with you. They are on the cusp of international success and fame. Most bands would have quit by now. Not Windowpane. Ever.
