  • The Bay Area Filmmaker Turning Forgotten Disasters Into Screenplays - Derrick Peprah
    Jun 19 2026

    Derrick Peprah comes on the pod to talk about his filmmaking journey, from his roots in Ghana to landing in the Bay and starting his own studio, @PepFilmStudios . Derrick's creative grind is nutty, from screenwriting feature length movies, to modeling, to acting and directing in his own short films. This episode has a whole lotta insight into the Bay Area filmmaking scene, with (always) a healthy dose of funny banter, and just about the nicest and most optimistic guy we've had on the show.

He's also an improv wiz (Adult Improv) and sketch artist (Killing My Lobster) and runs his own comedy variety show, Jokeland. And of course he dabbles with Clown.

  • B-Boy HK Ishida Talks Breakdance Culture and Olympic Controversy
    May 16 2026

    Breakdancing battles, Olympic controversy, underground dance culture, and one VERY strong opinion about coffee grinders… this episode has it all.

    This episode features HK Ishida, a Bay Area breakdancer, house head, and one of the most thoughtful people we’ve had on the podcast. We dive deep into breaking culture, competitive art, dance battles, getting older in the scene, the Olympics, Raygun discourse, house music culture, and why HK thinks dance exists somewhere between sport and art.

    Also: the lightning round gets wildly philosophical for absolutely no reason.
