We're finally here at the Season Finale of #ChrisTalksThePodcast This has been an incredible run and I'm so excited to bring you this episode. I had the profound pleasure of befriending one of the most talented people. Julia is a power house in the music scene of the Pacific North West. She's a true master on the keys and a wonderful voice to match. Perhaps the most important part about her is her genuine loving spirit. I'm honored to call her a personal friend. I switch it up this time. Julia always said she wanted to interview me so this time you'll hear more about me. I thought it was a fitting way to take a break for the time being.I'll be back with more interviews and more experiences.

BONUS: Episode! This episode is lovingly referred to as A Dream Deferred: the MCU Version. I gathered a group of friends that included: Luke Admunson, Andre Hill, Russ Coffee and Tanya Watson. All comic movie geeks with whom I trust and respect. Unfortunately we did not get to record a podcast for Phase 2 or 3 because of COVID-19. I sat on this for a while and debated releasing it because it's essentially an incomplete podcast but the conversation was just so fun. This was a really fun group of people who came with information and opinions. It's a fun listen if you are into Marvel and movies. If you listen this and want to hear more, I'm sure I can get the gang back together. It'll be easier than getting all the Infinity Stones. #ChrisTalksThePodcast #PodsInColor #Marvel #PhaseOne #IronMan #TheIncredibleHulk #Thor #Avengers #Tacoma #PNWPodcasts #FuckCovid #Blerds #Geeks #ComicBooks #MCU #Thanos #SamuelLMotherFuckingJackson

This Week on #ChrisTalksThePodcast I had a chance to interview a very interesting Gentleman by the name of Evlondo Cooper. I've often said that he's one of the most interesting people I've known. Hailing from my hometown (and also an old roommate) Evlondo has experienced highs and lows which made for awesome stories. From working in a cotton field in Mississippi to being on the cover of The Washington Post in DC, he's maintained a cool demeanor and great deal of class. He also is heavily involved in politics. We get knee deep into the current events of the world, trap music, and horror movies. This promises to be an interesting interview.
