Tell us all about the Official Diabolic Shrimp YouTube show, and what your mission is.
My mission with Diabolic Shrimp (the site) has always been to give authors concrete support while also offering them a free service. I always wanted to do a Youtube talk show as part of this and have recently been able to accomplish that. I designed the show to be welcoming and show off authors and their work in a fun way that also exposes them to new readers! Diabolic Shrimp is all about supporting one another in a real but also fun way, and I feel like the show is helping to do that!
I've watched every episode. You've had some really exciting and important guests from writing, filmmaking, and video game communities. Tell us about some of the people you've interviewed so far!
Thank you so much for tuning in! You're always so kind and supportive! Everyone on the show and Diabolic Shrimp's site is important and it's always my mission to make them feel like it. Diabolic Shrimp's Youtube channel is still very young (only about a month) but we've had quite the diverse set of guests! Mike Kimmel used to appear regularly on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and shares about his monologue book for aspiring actors. Jolene and Dana Skvarek are working on a television pilot show and share about that, manga, and working on their own novels. If poetry is your jam, Cendrine Marrouat and David Ellis talk all about prose, possitivity, and inventing their own form of poetry. Chris Hepler (who worked on Mass Effect and Star Wars) spoke about world building and vampires. We just had David Allen Edmonds talk about teaching and his exciting mystery series. And of course, the wonderfully talented Andrea Hintz sharing her awesome spy series and talking music, faith, video games, and life!
You are a quick witted host and bring a lot of greatly timed comedy to the show. What has been one of your favorite comedic moments from the show so far?
I'm actually really shy (so thank you for calling me witty and funny), but I love talking to people and learning about them. There have been so many fun moments on the show that it's hard to pick just one. I weirdly enjoy the mess ups the most. In my very first show with professional actor Mike Kimmel, he had a light blow out in his room and had to go fix it, and I was left sort of hanging wondering 'what does a host do when their star guest leaves?'. I just sort of talked for a bit and it worked out. Similarly, Chris Hepler's cat attacked his internet router halfway through our interview leaving me to have to come up with some joke about The Reapers from Mass Effect. I love those moments because they show that we're human on this show and that it doesn't have to be some huge intense deal. We can have some fun and joke (and we do a lot on this show)!
How can people support you and your work?
My goal is always to provide a free service to authors and readers alike. If you'd like to support me and the show in an entirely free way, come watch any portion of the channel's videos, 'like' them if you enjoyed them, leave a comment, and especially subscribe to the channel by clicking on the red Subscribe button just beneath the video.
Additionally, if you'd like to support me as an author and comic creator, check out my work at the Amazon link below! I give a portion of the money I make from my books to universally good causes such as childhood disease research, ocean exploration, and breaking the worldwide poverty cycle, so you'd be supporting the world as well!
