@Hill Kane is a producer, editor, and performer with the BIT Improv Comedy Network, and if there’s a moving part in comedy podcasting, chances are Hill is already running it (and making it better). She produces, hosts, and edits a stack of comedy podcasts including Shut Up Gail, rabbitHOLE, Podcast Town, Dinner Party, Movie!Movie!, Podclass, and Billy Merritt’s SPOTLIGHT. 😎 Hill also oversees branding and artwork across the network—handling everything from editing to design to glorious, unscripted chaos. She wears many hats… and occasionally wigs. 🎩🎭 Beyond the network, Hill runs a boutique podcast concierge service, guiding shows from concept to launch, with collaborations including Hope Mississippi and Stories from Cold Springs. And just when you think that’s enough brilliance, off-mic she’s a secondee attorney with Meta’s Reality Labs Sales, Marketing & Analytics team—because yes, she is proudly nerdy like that. 🤓🚀 Hill, we’re thrilled to have your talent, brains, and chaos energy in the familia. Welcome to Vato’s Locos! 💀🔥

@Bryan Briggs & Kristine are full-on digital nomads living the dream, literally, in a school bus converted into a tiny home. He and his wife Kristine are currently hunkered down in Minnesota for the winter, and yes, it was -25° outside this morning while they were chilling in the low 70s inside the bus. That, my friends, is what we call a WIN! 🚌❄️🔥 Bryan and Kristine have been working with me off and on for years, and I’ll say this publicly: they are incredible humans. The love is mutual, and I’m grateful to call them friends and collaborators. ❤️ They’re still deep in the content production game—audio, video, socials—the whole creative ecosystem. But more than anything, they value connecting with good people and good humans, because anything beyond that is just bonus territory. 🙏✨ Thrilled to have you here, Bryan & Kristine. Welcome to the familia—Vato’s Locos just got even better! ❄️ 🚍 🔥 🚌 ❄️

Thanks Paul for creating this discussion! I’ve been taking care of my mom for about a year now. She is in a facility, but the staffing there is basically there to earn a paycheck and do as little as possible. So, I visit her daily or at the very least six days per week. I’m there for about an hour or so, and I bring her something that she can eat. She is on a mechanical, soft diet, and their answer to that was putting all of her food in a blender. How awful! So I bring her soft foods, like putting, single serve pieces of carrot, cake, and similar, and of course every Friday is “hot fudge Friday“ where I bring her a hot fudge sundae from Dairy Queen. I also provide her snacks to hold her over until the next day. Soft snacks, like Hostess Cakes and bags of mini donuts. Another thing we (Kristine and I) do is her laundry. She was starting to get other peoples’ clothes in her laundry, and her clothes were disappearing. Plus, she loves Downy fabric softener, so we load her wash up with that! I will straighten up her room and make her bed each day, and set out some clothes for the next day. I’ll take her for a walk (or 7🤣) around the memory care unit to get her out of her room and moving. With the travel time and the time that I spent there, it’s upwards of a three hour daily chunk. I have to manage which part of the day that’s going to be in so that I can still work, and keep up with some of the demands of bus life. That’s just my little story. I hope to hear from the rest of you!
