Ep. 34: AKA - Ask Karl Anything


In this week’s Ask Karl Anything episode, I answer listener questions about leaving Los Angeles after 29 years, starting over on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and whether making this podcast and sharing candid parts of my life is ever hard.

It’s an episode about home, memory, reinvention, career and what it means to speak honestly about your life. Thanks for listening, and I’ll see you there!

The podcast will always be free and runs on audience donations. I'll thank you on the air in an episode! Thank you!

Ep. 33: Hollywood Assistant: Pay Your Dues, Not Your Identity


In this episode, I talk about what it's like being an assistant at an multi-million dollar enterprise and how being the best at your work and paying your dues is smart, but losing your identity and your own unique career path doesn't come with the job. I share a slice of life, the clashes and the wins that set a precedent for the career to ultimately come. As always, it's not what you say yes to, it's what you say no to and why. Assistants rock and this episode represents for all!

Ep. 32: Summertime Madness


In this episode, it's the summer of 2002 and everyone (except my Mom and sister) is pissy and stressed. I'm working 6-day weeks at The Hollywood Reporter, my spouse has just gotten a new job, we've got a new apartment just weeks away from moving into, my then-best friend is tripping, and overall it's just a slice of life of pre-autumn summertime madness!

Ep. 31: Chaos & Confrontation on the Sunset Strip


In this episode, an update comes in 2002 about one of my closest actor friendships, an actor I'd worked with for nearly two years and shared off-the-set experiences with, that came to a chaotic and argumentative end on Sunset Blvd. at 2 a.m. in 1998.

This episode honors friendship, grief, and touches on the start of when a loved one's drug use overpowers everything you used to know about each other.
