1526_DLG_Artists Eric Doeringer and Sean Fader talk about their Richard Prince experiences and studio moving experiences.

Joseph Arthur's has worked hard, evolved and shares the value he's found in forgiveness. Joseph Arthur is a well known and respected musician. Joseph grew up in Dayton, Ohio, the son of a lawyer father and insurance salesman mother. It seems as if Joseph had a lot of conflict with his parents, but has some thoughtful things to say about forgiveness. He is someone who works hard on himself, physically, emotionally and spiritually. His creative work is instinctual whether it's songwriting, music,, poetry or visual art. Joseph Arthur started working in high school with a band of guys all older than him, 5 nights a week making  a good living so he never went to college or even needing to look for a side job. An outspoken voice about his opinions about vaccines during the pandemic, along with the birth of his daughter around the same time, affected his career and recharged it. His opportunity to revisit his career and opened a lot of new doors and he's now enjoying life now more than ever. https://josepharthur.com/ #josepharthur @joseph_arthur Song/Video RISE Current Tour

About 12 years ago Gabe Panchero and Sameer Naseem launched their own comedy show, Funhouse Comedy. After a two year run at Passenger Bar, the bar closed and for the past 10 years, it's been running at Pete's Candy Store. At the time of this session, Funhouse has about 2 weeks left at Pete's. Gabe talks about the ideas that formed Funhouse, the prized life experience it's been, and what's in mind next for the show. Stay tuned! I learned a lot from Gabe and how his childhood made him who he is today, a hilarious, thought provoking comedian and a proud bi-lingual Chicano. His father is a social worker, the child of Mexican Migrant workers, his mother a lawyer, working with MALDEF, the Mexican-American Legal Defense Fund. Gabe was taught by monks, which Dr. Lisa feels had a profound affect on his view of life—he's unusually level-headed. He's never been to therapy though he seems to possess robust coping skills. We also explore Gabe's ideas about relationships which is well considered and thought-provoking. Website: https://www.gabepacheco.com/ Bio: Gabe Pacheco, originally from Washington, DC, is an actor, comedian, host, friend, and roving academic. He’s an entertainer who inspires you to think, moments after you’ve already laughed. A bilingual performer with progressive leanings, watching 10 minutes of Gabe on stage  can feel like you’ve smoked a joint of Ghost Train Haze sativa and mockingly laughed at headlines from the Sunday Times. Animated, literate, and with a touch of sly post-Millennium wit, Gabe shimmies and flickers his way through a set. No one gyrates their hips better to the notion of the world crumbling around us, and no one better evokes the spirit of norteño music with the message of early-80’s DC hardcore. It’s comedy that is steeped in the present, while hoping for a less ridiculous future. With a decade of experience on the NYC scene under his belt, Gabe has appeared on stages as big as Caroline’s, as experimental as The Creek & The Cave, and as buzzed about as the Knitting Factory. He’s been accepted into the Asheville Comedy Festival and the Accidental Comedy Festival. He’s shared insights on Sirius XM’s “Tell Me Everything with John Fugelsang” and “Affirmative Reaction with Xorje Olivares”, while also sitting in as the permanent guest host of the widely popular, left-wing humor and journalism podcast, “The Katie Halper Show”. Gabe has trained at the UCB Theater in NYC and is a veteran in the Story Pirates Acting Company, preparing him for his starring role in the short film “Leaves in Autumn”, which was screened at the Anthology Film Archives (NYC) as part of the New Filmmakers Festival in 2018. Gabe Pacheco is a performer. And a storyteller. And an informed bystander of the seemingly never-ending spectacle of current world affairs and humanity that demand our attention...moments after we’ve already laughed.

Personally, I’m a HUGE FAN of the Brooklyn Comedy Collective in Williamsburg, so when, Philip Markel, the Founder and Artistic Director agreed to come in for a Dr. Lisa session, I was thrilled.  Philip is the chilliest version of a Type A personality that I have met. He’s warm, welcoming, exuding a contagious sort of joy. The most obvious question in my mind was “How does he do it all?”, but our session went far past that simple question. Philip is a multitalented, (improv, singing, dancing, writing, teaching) creative person who is running a collective with 3 linked locations and a staff of 20 people, since 2018, all while doing his own work! My take is Philip is that he is an unusual combo of talent, drive and business smarts. You don’t often meet people like him with this much talent and drive, establishing collectives for creative people, I think because most people that have that combo of skills go for the money. Comedy is not a get rich quick pursuit. I read this autobiographical story that Philip had written for Medium before our interview and it lent some insight on Philip. It's helps illuminate where some of that leadership and fearlessness in his nature may led him to give us The Brooklyn Comedy Collective. Here’s just the very beginning of that story: “Can I change? I’ve been trapped by that question, in a loop I can’t break, most of my life. I broke the loop once — my Senior Year of Catholic high-school, when I stood up during Mass and told a crowd of my classmates — and assorted nuns, deacon, and priest — that Jesus would want me to “Tell you all right now I’m gay.” It was the most authentic moment of my life.”                        BIO: Philip Markle has performed and produced in hundreds of shows and taught students internationally, from Berlin to Bali. Philip graduated from Northwestern University and trained in improv in Chicago at The Annoyance, iO, and Second City before moving to NYC in 2013 to launch The Annoyance Theater NY, where he acted as its Director for four years. He is the Founder and Artistic Director of The Brooklyn Comedy Collective in Williamsburg. Performance highlights include musically improvising with Baby Wants Candy in Chicago and BLANK: The Musical Off-Broadway. As a storyteller, he has performed at The Moth and The Paper Machete - and is a writer on Medium.com with 400k+ reads. He executive produced, wrote, and acted in the digital shorts series "The Annoyance Presents" on IFC's Comedy Crib. Philip first performed his show SPARKLE HOUR to rave reviews in the 2013 NY International Fringe Festival and has regularly produced it since, including multiple runs at Joe's Pub and as part of the 2021 and 2022 NY Comedy Festival. You can listen to his album of queer comedy songs “AT THE GAY BATHHOUSE” on your favorite streaming music platform.

Will is an incredible artist, writer, comedian, cartoonist, etc. I've gotten to know him a little bit from curating his show, Rooftopolopis at the Dog House Gallery, and seeing him perform comedy. Two things that struck me about Will —to me, he presents as a heteronormative male, albeit, an unusually multifaceted one. I found out that he had an only fans account and that he was queer. One thing I did not know about Will Kiley until I did research on him was that he had an older brother that died. Will Kiley takes us on his journey which includes parents that are folklore  professors, an inability to do math and being popular in high school. He generously shares his story and how the tragic experience he went through has affected and shaped him. More proof that art is healing and that Will Kiley is one helluva driven MoFo. Instagram: @will_kiley_santino @rooftopopolis Website: https://www.willsantino.com/ (including his New Yorker cartoon! BIO: Will Kiley Santino is best known for his New Yorker cartoons, but has been drawing, writing, and making up new worlds and stories for his entire life. The cartoons emerged out of a particularly difficult time. In 2017, as a caregiver to a terminally ill older brother, the humorous sketches became a way to find light and levity in the darkness. They also honored the bond of silliness he shared with his brother. Will sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker in 2020, after drawing and submitting over 400. He left his job as an animator at an art studio in 2021, supporting himself with freelance work, cartoon sales, and, most importantly, the amazing enthusiasm of his Patreon supporters.   Will’s creative practice is multifaceted. In addition to the cartoons, he also writes whimsical rhyming poetry under the nom de plume J. K. Ellomenope. His illustrations are magical and mythical. In various media, including acrylic paint, watercolor, collage, and digital, he depicts worlds of his own creation. These include metaphorical realms, such as Sunset City and the Outer Oops, and creatures like the Sobaloopsians. These characters and geographies are enriched with histories and backstories that recall the world-building of Tolkien. While the visuals are meant to delight, beguile, and inspire wonder, the themes tackle more adult topics, such as grief and love, shame and confusion, sexuality, self-acceptance, and self-discovery.

"My new life is my old life minus the doubts." — Olive Hui About six months ago, Olive was seriously injured in a hit-and-run car accident. You might not guess it if you met her in person, but as she says, she is still very much in recovery. In this session, we reflect on Olive’s experience, the outpouring of love and support she received, and the remarkable benefit organized and held for her at by Kevin McDonald of Kids in the Hall at The Bell House, a week before this conversation. Look at this lineup — David Cross and more! Olive is charismatic and multi-talented, moving effortlessly between music and visual art. LINKS: www.olivehui.com/⁠ ⁠@latecambrian ⁠⁠@pineappleo BIO: Olive Hui (許上思), aka Pineapple O, is a Brooklyn-based actor and artist fusing watercolor, sound, film, TV, video, and site-reactive performances. Featured with Beyoncé in Levi’s iconic launderette ad, on Worst Cooks in America S29 (Food Network), and in Brooklyn’s best rock band Late Cambrian, they created the movement piece Pineapple O’s Bedtime Ritual and founded HotelO.K.ByeBye psychedelic variety art night. Their work explores water, memory, and transformation.

Tom has been on this show several times. In this session we examine Tom's personal transition from being a workaholic radio station director, living in Bushwick to a more balanced, "emotionally healthy" (Dr. Lisa's judgement!!) adult with a job and a partner living in Washington Heights. Tom was station director from 2015—2021 when he transferred the main responsibilities and Station Director Title to Shane Gasteyer. Shane (check out the episode before this one #396!) has also done a fabulous job of growing the station and keeping the community thriving. If you want to understand Tom's background and how he came to start RFB, please listen to my first ever Dr. Lisa Gives A Shit from with Tom. We do a deep dive into his background in the very first days of RFB in our first and brand new studio in the basement of a bike shop - May 2015. If you'd like to hear Tom reflect on the radio station journey, you can listen to our Dr. Lisa session from last year, May 2025, on the milestone of the stations 10th year anniversary, something back in 2015 would have seemed like a wild pipe dream. And here we are YASSSS! May 15, 2015—⁠ Dr. Lisa psychoanalyzes RFB co-founder Tom Tenney⁠ May 14, 2020—⁠ Tom Tenney, Radio Free Brooklyn’s Executive Director return’s to Dr. Lisa’s couch in honor of RFB’s 5th anniversary and it’s on his birthday too!⁠ Nov, 2020—⁠Breaking down the WALL OF LIES experience with creators Tom Tenney and Phil Buehler. May, 2025—Tom Tenney, RFB Co-Founder talks about living thru 10 years of RFB. 10 year Anniversary Episode!!!

Shane has been part of the station since 2016, so I've known him a long time now. This is the first time Shane agreed to come on my show—we talk about that. We also discuss his childhood with his single mom, boarding school and in my Dr. Lisa opinion, the POSITIVE changes being a father of a 5 year old girl and 10 month old boy, along with his RFB experience and becoming the station director have had on him. Shane has a great radio show "Everybody Plays the Fool" Hosted by Shane LIVE every Monday at 9:00pm … Everybody Plays the Fool showcases a wide variety of music, with a different theme each week! Previous topics include: cats, baked goods, Dolly Parton, Muppets, baseball, and beer. It may be factual, may be cruel.

"I find it comforting that, if anything else, what this city gives you is a sense that you're a person apable of making your way in this city, it's really tough and it can be a very tough place to live and work". - David Rogers This was a really interesting talk I had with one of our newish hosts, David Rogers of the Down in Albion Show. Turns out he moved to NYC from the UK with his wife and 10 year old son about 18 months ago. David has had the wonderful opportunity to reinvent himself from a UK economist to a liaison between great bands in the UK and NYC.) He's also getting to spend more time with his son, who has a spot every week on David's radio show. This is clearly a great time in his life and his families life for growth. David is using this time to great results. Join host David Rogers LIVE every Monday, 11am on his show, Down In Albion on an exploration of the best new and emerging music from the UK and Ireland.

To really appreciate the impressive amount of progress Calvin Williams has made in the last six years, I encourage you to listen to one of our previous episodes from April 2020 + July 2020. To enjoy Calvin now—I urge you to listen to his weekly 11pm Tuesday show—Lush Vibes or follow him on Twitch @Mejisticlv or on Instagram sounds.by.calvin Calvin is one of our most popular hosts. He joined RFB in 2018 with his how Lush Vibes Radio close to his 400th episode. Calvin did two Dr. Lisa episodes at a very low point in his life—he'd experiences a lot of loss—both grandmothers, 2 uncles and he had been recently diagnosed with Type ONE diabetes, a chronic illness that has to be managed throughout the day, day in, day out which turned his life upside down.Cut to today, April 2026, six years later and it is obvious Calvin is thriving. He is integral to RFB now in so many ways as tech director, besides his weekly show he is doing all the RFB live shows at numerous venues around the city, blowing up on Twitch, getting paying dj gigs, PLUS he now has a healthy relationship with an awesome partner that he has lives with — in my opinion as a fake therapist, they are magic together!
