Hey everyone. Thanks for at least checking out the So What Do You Really Do? podcast page; you’re one step closer to becoming a listener. I’m the host Deadair Dennis Maler, so get used to what my typing looks like. I’m a comedian from Baltimore, now living in Boston, and 16+ year radio veteran. I’m fortunate enough to know A LOT of people with interesting jobs, but also are working to become comedians, actors, artists, and other things. As you’ll hear in Episode 00, I want you to hear about these people. It’s a small clip show/introduction to what you can expect on each episode of the podcast. All of us are working so hard to make it in entertainment, and it isn’t easy. Because of that, there’ll be a lot of funny stories and interesting things. Especially the people I know that have, like, real adult careers. They don’t need to “make it” (whatever that’s supposed to mean), but they work so hard perfecting their craft because THAT is what they want to do. And I find it fascinating, and I hope you do as well. Thanks a lot and enjoy the podcast. Music in this episode by: http://www.bensound.com

Thanks for downloading the first episode of So What Do You Really Do? with my guest John Paul Rivera. John and I recorded this interview in my backyard in Boston a lot of months ago. Literally six or seven months ago. One night me, John, and couple other comedians were hanging around, talking and what not, when I mentioned the podcast. Right then I decided to have John Paul on because I knew if I didn’t set an actual record date, nothing would get done. I hate to admit, sometimes I’m a “up to the last minute deadline” kind of guy. John Paul, who is not only a hilarious comedian, is also a mascot for a local bowling alley in Boston. We talked about that, how he got into it, and how the hours he works before Red Sox games is actually kind of convenient for doing comedy. We also talk about his mother, who was also a comedian and a comedy side project of John Paul’s called The New York Past, which is a parody twitter account that posts funny, fictional New York Post style headlines. He has since stopped doing the posts (which is another topic we get into), but you can still check them out on twitter. In fact, if enough people start reading them and liking them, maybe he’ll start doing them again. (Doubt it) Music in this episode by my good friend Scott Lester.

Thanks again for downloading this episode of the podcast. A few months ago I sat down with a comedian from England, Robyn Perkins. Robyn is actually from Boston, moved to England, decided to start doing stand up comedy. We talked a lot of about the difference between how the comedy scene is in the UK compared to how it is here in the America (specifically Boston). I also asked Robyn a bit about her experiences being a woman in comedy, because as most people know, it’s very different than being a man in comedy. At the time of this recording Robyn had just quit her day-job to do comedy and promoting the regular shows she runs full-time. Last night I caught up with her while she was here visiting for the holidays. The good news is she hasn’t had to go back to working a real job to support comedy, THAT’S GREAT!! We also talk a little about Edinburgh Comedy Festival; which, if you don’t know, is a month long comedy festival in Scotland. If you never heard of it or been (like I haven’t) you’ll find it interesting I think. Sooner or later I’ll remember to take a pic with my guests and post that here too, someday… I suppose.
