On today’s episode of Vero’s Voice Podcast, Doolin sits down with Vero Beach author Kenny Gould [https://www.kennygould.com/], a fantasy writer known for crafting strange worlds, fun adventure stories for people of all ages, that may or may not include a talking potato.  Kenny is the creator of The Toroth-Gol Series [https://www.goodreads.com/series/367671-toroth-gol], and Doolin as an ultra fantasy nerd is very excited to sit down with him and get into it.  In this episode, we dive into Kenny’s journey from beer writer and entrepreneur to full-time fantasy author, explore the creative process behind building chaotic and immersive worlds, and find some common ground in our love of fantasy storytelling. If you’re into fantasy, writing, or just enjoy a conversation that doesn't take itself too seriously, pull up a chair and give a listen.

Willkommen… Back to the Stage

This episode of Vero’s Voice Podcast is a very special one. For the first time in ten years, Doolin is stepping back onto the stage... this time as Cliff Bradshaw in Vero Beach Theatre Guild's [https://www.verobeachtheatreguild.com/] production of Cabaret. And to celebrate, he’s joined by two incredible castmates: Sabrina, who brings the iconic Sally Bowles to life, and Sara, who plays the bold and unforgettable Fraulein Kost. Together, they dive into what makes Cabaret such a powerful, timeless show. From stepping into these legendary roles, to the electric energy in rehearsals, to the excitement (and nerves!) of opening night, and the importance of theatre and the arts in your community.  Whether you’re a theatre lover, a supporter of arts in the community, or just curious what happens behind the curtain, this is one you won’t want to miss.

The Vero Man: Ice Age or Ice Cold Case?

Doolin goes solo for a deep dive into one of Vero Beach’s most controversial and fascinating legends — The Vero Man. Once believed to be proof that early humans lived right here in Vero Beach during the last Ice Age, the discovery sparked national attention, heated debates, and decades of unanswered questions. But was the Vero Man truly ancient… or was something else going on beneath the surface? In this episode, we rewind the clock, sift through fossils, and explore the mystery that put Vero Beach on the prehistoric map. It’s local history — but make it ancient, strange, and just a little unsettling. 🎧 Tune in and decide for yourself…
