Edwin Heaven

In this case, Edwin Heaven is not a place, it is a person. San Francisco author, ad man, ad hoc provocateur, manager to The Nuns, screenwriter and I can't even remember all the other eyebrow raising antics. Join Nora for a breakdown of 50 years with Heaven and his release of his memoir, The Night I Got David Bowie Laid, Sorta.

Jim Vallely - From Funny Boy to Funniest Guy

Nora is joined by friend and comedy writer, Jim Valley, whose credits include #GoldenGirls, #ArrestedDevelopment and so much in between. They talk not only about his standup career, his beginnings in Hollywood as an actor, but also the fun he and Nora have had together over 40 years, including going to Broadway musicals and walking out of My Fair Lady!

The Fairest Gump of SF Punk!

Stephane von Stephane joins Nora on this episode. In this case, not only is Stephane a punk amongst us but she was a punk amongst them. While writing and doing graphics for Search & Destroy, she knew The Avengers, The Nuns, Blondie AND she was at Winterland the night The Sex Pistols played their last show AND she had her arm around Sid! So much to talk about!

Noetic Pause - Young, bright rockers are ready for it all!

Noetic Pause, runner ups at 2024 Battle Of The Bands. Nora talks to the band ahead of the 2025 Battle in Napa, CA where they will have competed against 20 other bands. Even high schoolers have an origin story! Young and talented - the future looks bright!
