Pulling Back the Curtain: The Rock Father on the Power Kid Podcast…

On this week’s episode of the Power Kid Podcast, the featured guest is a familiar one… me. Each week, toy industry veteran Phil Albritton interviews amazing people making amazing things for kids. Toys, games, books, media – he covers it all in the only podcast dedicated to the modern children’s entertainment industry. Phil and I had connected over on LinkedIn, and one big question he had was how my career trajectory took me from covering horror movies and entertainment for FANGORIA to penning columns for Sprout Channel’s late Sprout Parents site. On the show I explain how all that happened, and discuss a bit of my backstory, from working in retail 20 years ago to entering the world of film & tv to winding up here, covering toys and pop culture for the likes of The Toy Insider, Toy Book and The Pop Insider. We also discuss my deep-dive into the collapse of Toys “R” Us, and close things out with some words about raising kids and parenting in the “gig economy” – where success today is still staring-down an uncertain tomorrow. Check it out on Stitcher, iTunes or in the player below!

Apologies in advance for saying “ya know” quite a bit. I’ll admit my radio interviewing habits were a bit rusty and there was much to discuss.
