From Ramblings From The Little Shed · 00:33:21

Show by Holly B.

Holly B. is joined by Michael Perzel and Rick Mowat. They start with fall leaves and travel, including Michael finishing all 50 states, then Michael’s beloved golden retrievers, Pearl and Derby, and how his early dog paintings.The conversation turns to how two friends from Morton’s Steakhouse in Philadelphia found each other again during COVID. Michael had stories he’d never written down. Rick, with decades in screenwriting, directing and producing, pushed him for emotion and honesty, even on painful chapters about his father and his brother. The result is a book that is by turns tragic and hilarious.They also cover the audiobook production (Michael narrates, Rick voices the characters, and the editor, who has worked on 2,500+ audiobooks, said it was one of his most challenging because he kept laughing), marketing a book through podcasts, Rick’s upcoming film Last Pint and why Ireland is a filmmaker’s dream, and the format of their new podcast, with a tongue-in-cheek first-episode topic.Buy the book!Livin' It: True Story of a Bad Kid from Philly Who Defies the OddsMichael's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michael_j_perzel/Rick Mowat: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0610250/If you enjoyed this episode, please consider sharing it as it helps to grow the podcast.Want to help even more?
