Travis Richey just keeps outdoing himself when it comes to “A Space Traveler Who…?” We mean Not Inspector Spacetime…. We mean Inspector Spacetime…
Well, whatever the fuck this very cool web series and its hero are called, here’s the latest scoop:
Original Comic Art for Kickstarter Backers! by Travis RicheyGreetings, Inspectators!
Another incredibly busy week. Did a few interviews. It’s interesting that Season One ofChilltown is over, the Lele Show is on hiatus, I’m not planning on releasing new stuff till the Fall and people are still contacting me for interviews. Really speaks to what the web is like. Somebody who never heard of you can find your series and become a fan at any time.
Met KL Thomas from SketchBlock podcast. They have a really cool podcast and interview comedians, comedy writers and people doing improv. KL’s also a producer and involved in some very cool projects–like producing Jenn Dodd’s new show. We grabbed some ice cappuccino and sat in the garden of the church of St. John the Divine. She pulled out her tape recorder and mic and we just had a blast. It really was a lot of fun. You can check it out here.
Then did an long phone interview with Rodimus Prime. He’s the very cool guy who has a wildly successful podcast with his wife called The Black Guy Who Tips. I’m a fan of their podcast and they’re having me on the show as well. The interview I did is for their premium channel (you have to subscribe to listen.) We got pretty deep. He’s a great interviewer. It felt like I was talking to an old friend. Here’s the link. When I’m on The Black Guy Who Tips, I’ll also post.
This is so awesome in so many ways that we don’t know where to begin. You name it, and this video by Harris Porter mocks it – brilliantly.
There we were, mindlessly rushing through our pretty much equally mindless email, when we found something that actually piqued our interest.
It was an announcement of a new web series called BECOMING RICARDO, and the first thing we noticed about the show was that it’s filled with good intentions. The way co-writer-producer Jenni Ruizza put it was this: “Realizing there is a lack of a Latino presence in the entertainment and film industry, I’d like to introduce you to a Latina-created, focused, written, and produced webseries: BECOMING RICARDO.”
Now if we were being hyper critical we could argue that there isn’t necessarily “a lack of a Latino presence” in showbiz. Especially when it comes to television, where Univision has ratings that give a knockout punch to AMC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW, and all the cable nets too. (Really? You didn’t know that? Check it out.)
