I'm a big fan of boxing. As a novelist I can't think of a sport that lends itself more to dramatic storytelling. Today I'm thrilled to talk "The Sweet Science" with one of my all time heroes, sportscaster Jim Lampley. Jim was the voice of HBO World Championship Boxing for over 30 years. We discuss the upcoming Canelo v. Crawford fight as well as some of the highlights from his storied career. Jim has some incredible stories, grab some popcorn and enjoy. It Happened!

Officer Bill - Smells Like Bacon
I was at a book signing a week or two ago when a tall, handsome fellow named Bill approached me to say that he was a fan of the podcast. It turns out Bill was a recently retired police sergeant from the Lynnwood PD. Remembering how much everyone loved the Nurse Lexi episode, I asked him if he'd be interested in telling us what it's like to be a cop. I asked him if I could call the episode "Smells Like Bacon", and he agreed! That's when I knew I had a winner of a guest. Defund the Police, Blue Lives Matter, Thin Blue Line—we cover it all and more.Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzj0CG30y8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreshFacePod_EvisonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshfacepod.evison/

Christoph Paul - So, You Want to Get Your Novel Published?
Today I talk with indie publisher, Christoph Paul of Clash Books. We discuss the publishing process—from acquisition, to editorial, to marketing and publicity, to distribution, to the retail bookshelf, revealing step-by-step how the sausage is made, and highlighting some of the differences between corporate and indie publishing, and even self-publishing. We also discuss some of the challenges the modern publishing paradigm is facing, including the reading crisis.https://www.clashbooks.comhttps://linktr.ee/christophpaulTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzj0CG30y8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreshFacePod_EvisonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshfacepod.evison/

Chad Channing - My Favorite Nirvana Drummer
Nirvana, like Spinal Tap, went through a lot of drummers. Dave Grohl was the 7th, Dan Peters (Mudhoney) was the 6th and the 5th, my favorite, was Chad Channing. Although Chad missed the "Nevermind" rocket ride, he was with the band when it recorded the seminal grunge classic "Bleach." I talk to Chad about our early punk days on the Kitsap Peninsula, how the boys from Aberdeen found him, how the band began to blow up, and the friction that caused. And of course, we talk about how it all came to an end. We also talk about life after Nirvana and what's next for my old friend.Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzj0CG30y8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreshFacePod_EvisonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshfacepod.evison/

Kim Hunt - @slaythegop
Today I'm excited to talk with one of the leading voices in battling online misinformation and graft - Kim Hunt. Kim is a whip smart Zoomer who is ambitious and full of integrity (the kind that only a journalism degree will give you). Kim's weapon of choice is the "response video" in which she creates TikTok and Reels that counters popular political influencers, like Charlie Kirk or Emily Wilson. It's caustic work but it thrills me that there are young people pushing back on the onslaught of online propaganda. Kim does not suffer fools and will regulate your hot takes if she feels you're punching down.@slaythegop insta: https://www.instagram.com/slaythegop?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Video Interview: https://youtu.be/xmOvLX4mTpoTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzj0CG30y8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreshFacePod_EvisonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshfacepod.evison/
