Random Stories Podcasts

History builds the present. Where we are today is a result of where we have been. Yet, some of the stories that got us here have remained in the shadows. And the true stories of the people and inventions that have built our world are often lost to time. Our only hope for building a better future is to truly understand what got us to the present. From the famous, to the infamous, to the never heard of, these are the unknown backstories of people who have changed the world. In Season 8, award-winning actor Alec Baldwin uncovers the little known backstories of veterans who have built companies, products, and brands that have changed the way we live.

The 98% explores what life is *really* like for the majority of actors and performers who, rather than trying to find an outfit for the Oscar’s, are trying to find an outfit that makes them look as close to an 1850’s aristocrat as possible for an audition in 24 hours. In a world where we only really hear from ‘successful’ and well known ‘stars’, it can often feel like you’re the only one working 3 jobs to pay your bills and changing in a fast food joint’s public toilet for a casting on your lunch break when, in reality, you’re part of the majority! It comes as a surprise to most that only 2% of actors earn their main source of income from acting work. This podcast represents, and gives a voice to, the other 98% by sharing anecdotes and advice, shining a light on things that need changing in the industry, chatting to brilliant industry professional guests and laughing, lamenting and talking brutally honestly about the REAL #actorslife.*Disclaimer* – Our podcast does not include disturbing content (unless you count toe curlingly embarrassing stories as disturbing) but it does have some swearing which is why episodes are marked as explicit!

I seek the profound in the overlooked. I seek the marvelous in the everyday. I’m often fascinated by the way sunlight dances on the Anacostia River from the 11 street bridge and often over whelmed by the beauty of a lost piece of art on a forgotten corner in a rarely visited neighborhood. I am consistently amazed by the lives of everyday people and enriched by the stories they so openly share with me. I firmly believe that the ability to wonder and be amazed is a muscle that will wilt if left unused. It seems to me that life becomes dull and meaningless without wonder and amazement. More than anything, I want this project, this website, to be a personal exercise regiment for my ability to wonder and inspiration for others to allow the everyday to amaze them. The unexamined life is not worth living, not because introspection produces happiness but because careful observation ensures that we will not miss the beauty of the trees for the Forrest.

Is there a book living in your head that you have always wanted to put to paper but never started? Or do you have a draft of a never-finished book that you set aside and haven’t picked back up? If you are a business owner, entrepreneur, or speaker burning to tell your story and share your expertise with the world, then this podcast is for you. Writing a book can be a slow, arduous process. It can be a struggle to know where you should even start, to figure out what impact you want to have on your readers and what your ultimate purpose is in writing this book. It can be hard to overcome imposter syndrome and recognize that you are an expert in your field and that readers deserve to learn from you. Getting your book out there and having your voice heard can have a positive impact not only on your business but also on your life. In this show, you’ll hear inspiring interviews with published authors who are striving to make a difference in the world. You’ll learn how they overcame self-doubt and roadblocks to speak their truth… and how their book opened the doors to a wider audience, making a bigger impact than they ever thought was possible. The world deserves to hear your story – and you deserve the chance to tell it.
