017: Ethan Wilder - Shows and Side Hustles

🎙️ What’s Goin’ On Podcast | Ethan Wilder – Shows and Side Hustles In this episode, I sit down with comedian and show producer Ethan Wilder (@ethan_wilder16) to talk about everything he’s got going on — from producing his own events to the random jobs and experiences that somehow turn into comedy material. We get into the shows Ethan is running through Wyld Eperiences LLC (@wyld.eperiencesllc), what it’s like working at a hookah lounge, hosting speed dating events, and, of course, tattoos and the stories behind them. It’s a mix of comedy talk and real-life chaos that ends up being way more relatable than it should be. If you’re into the behind-the-scenes side of comedy or just like hearing how people juggle a bunch of different hustles, this one’s a fun listen. 📲 Follow Ethan: Instagram: @ethan_wilder16 📲 Check out Wyld Eperiences LLC: Instagram: @wyld.eperiencesllc 📲 Follow the podcast: @whatsgoinonpodcast 🎧 Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes with comedians, first responders, and people who somehow keep all these side quests going at once.

016: Ryan Anderson and Mel Bradshaw - Cloud City Comedy

🎙️ What’s Goin’ On Podcast | Ryan Anderson & Mel Bradshaw – Cloud City Comedy In this episode, I’m joined by comedians Ryan Anderson and Mel Bradshaw , the people behind Cloud City Comedy in the Capital District. We talk about what goes into producing shows, building a local comedy scene, and everything that comes with it — the good, the stressful, and the stuff you don’t see from the audience. From there, the conversation goes in a few different directions — including mental health, religious experiences, and somehow even hiking injuries. It’s one of those episodes that feels more like a real hang than an interview, but there’s a lot of insight mixed in with the chaos. If you’re into comedy or curious about what it actually takes to run shows and grow a scene, definitely check this one out. 📲 Follow Cloud City Comedy: Instagram: @cloudcitycomedy Email: cloudcitycomedy@gmail.com (for shows, questions, or booking info) 📲 Follow the comics: Ryan Anderson (Facebook): Ryan Andersons Mel Bradshaw: @melbradshawcomedy 📲 Follow the podcast: @whatsgoinonpodcast 🎧 Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes with comedians, first responders, and people doing interesting things in their communities.

015: Joel Dorian - From Page to Stage

🎙️ What’s Goin’ On Podcast | Joel Dorian – From Page to Stage In this episode, I sit down with author and comedian Joel Dorian to talk about the overlap between writing and stand-up, finding your voice creatively, and why some stories only work when you’re honest enough to make people uncomfortable. We get into Joel’s journey as both a writer and a comic, how storytelling changes depending on the medium, and what it’s like turning personal experiences into something people actually want to read — or laugh at. It’s thoughtful, funny, and the kind of conversation that slowly sneaks up on deeper topics without feeling forced. If you like comedy with substance, writers who aren’t afraid to be vulnerable, and conversations that feel more like a late-night hang than an interview, this one’s worth your time. 📲 Follow Joel Dorian: * Main page: @joeliepolieravioli * Comedy: @j_dorian_comedy * Writing/Author page: @j_dorian_writes 📚 Find all of Joel’s links — including where to buy his books — here: 👉 https://beacons.ai/j_dorian_writes [https://beacons.ai/j_dorian_writes] 📲 Follow the podcast on Instagram: @whatsgoinonpodcast 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes with comedians, writers, and people who know how to turn real life into something worth listening to.
