In some ways, it seems fitting to launch this podcast with a Back to the Future theme. I feel like this new show is going back to my podcast roots and the days when I booked celebrity guests on a regular basis. When my first podcast launched in 2011, my guest on the fifth episode was James Tolkan.
"It's possible that at some point in your life you've been called a slacker." He chuckled. He said he's had to say the word, "slacker" countless times since Back to the Future, and it didn't seem to bother him at all. I loved that, because I'm sure it can be somewhat exhausting. One of my last in-person interviews at a convention was with Claudia Wells (Jennifer from Back to the Future). She was so fun! I also loved one of her autograph offerings where she writes your name, "I love you" and Jennifer's phone number on the back of a clock tower flyer. You can even order a signed clock tower flyer on her website.
Burton Gilliam, my guest on the first episode of For the Nerd, is another example of someone who was only on screen for a short time, but provides an entertaining discussion about his experience. Like Tolkan, he has people come up to him and quote lines. Fan: Where'd you learn to shoot like that? Burton: That's my line! I hope you enjoy our discussion on the July 14th episode of the show. - Scott
