Mike Brainard: Writer, Producer, & Actor - Epi. 277, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Wow, I had a great time with this podcast, Mike Brainard. He is a
writer, an actor, a podcast producer, and a woodworker, just to
say a few of the things that he's accomplished in his life. He
does a podcast called The Ernie Pyle Experiment!, which is a
13-episode podcast that actually came in second, I believe, for
an Audie Award, which is like the top award that you can get in
audio-based production. I've listened to a portion of it, and I
highly encourage you to listen to it. You can get that on any
podcast platform. 

There's a really deep kind of discussion about what your life can
become and things that happened in your life.  For Mike, one
of the things was that he was very famous when he was younger as
an actor on soap operas. He was an actor for All My Children and
Santa Barbara. So it was fascinating to hear that trajectory.
People often think, Oh, I want to be famous. Well, you know, fame
is a double-edged sword.

I think it was a very deep, interesting conversation and the kind
of conversation that I enjoy and one of the reasons I do this
podcast is to learn and to see the human condition in all forms
of creativity, which he has lots of. So I hope everybody enjoys
it as much as I do. He really was interesting. Mike Brainard on
