Summary

15 Years in LA - A storytelling podcast chronicling my journey through 15 unforgettable years in Los Angeles—from my move in August 2010 to today, 2025. I’ll be sitting down with friends, family, colleagues, and fellow dreamers who were there with me through the highs, lows, chaos, and magic of life in LA. Together, we’ll revisit the moments that shaped us, the city that changed us, and the stories that deserve to be told.

  • i almost didn’t share this | a solo episode - a walk through my neighborhood with my dogs
    Apr 21 2026

    in this second installment of i almost didn't share this - i took my voice notes on a walk at night with my dogs and just… talked. no outline, no plan: just where i’m at right now.

    i took the podcast outside of the studio and into my actual everyday life no setup, no edits, no polish.

    this was recorded entirely while walking my dogs through my neighborhood in Los Angeles, this episode captures the unfiltered rhythm of a real day in motion. from spontaneous interactions with neighbors to unexpected moments with other dogs on the block. i bring you directly into my world as it naturally unfolds.

    this is a raw, unedited walk-and-talk experience. less “episode,” more “life happening in real time.” you’ll hear the background noise of LA streets, candid conversations, and the kinds of moments that can’t be planned or produced.

    if you’ve ever wondered what it actually feels like to live in LA, juggle dogs, community, and constant movement: this is the inside version. no filter, just me being me in the wild.

    welcome to bite size minisodes: a new series from 15 years in la.

    short, under-10-minute episodes where you step inside my world for a moment: what i’m thinking, where i am, and how life feels in real time.

    these minisodes are a little in-between moment… a reset… a quick drop of honesty and perspective.

    think of it as a mini check-in. unfiltered, in real time.

    a fun little breather between guest episodes and full-length solos.

    so let’s get into it.

    this is the first bite size minisode: surf’s up.

  • From Boca to the LA Stage: A Conversation with Lexie Skye (Part 2)
    Apr 15 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In Part 2 of our conversation with Lexie Skye, we dive deeper into her improv journey and the spaces that helped shape her as a performer.

    Lexie shares her experience training at WGIS (World’s Greatest Improv School), the Los Angeles-based improv school founded by Will Hines, Sarah Claspell, and Jim Woods, and how its unique philosophy challenged her to grow both on and off stage.

    She also talks about The Shared Experience, another LA-based improv school, founded by James Mastraieni and how different approaches to their theatre helped expand her range, instincts, and confidence as a performer.

    Lexie goes into how the indie improv scene focuses on ensemble connection and emotional truth, which influenced the way Lexie shows up on stage.

    Lexie has performed across some of LA’s most beloved comedy spaces, including Upright Citizens Brigade, WE Improv, WGIS, Shared Experience and The Pack Theater, along with various indie stages throughout the city, giving her a well-rounded perspective on the improv scene.

    A special moment in this episode: Lexie’s partner Marco Torres also joins us and makes an appearance on the show, where we interview him and get to hear his perspective as well.

    Shout out to The Sauce improv team and Sahil Desai from WGIS + The Sauce for giving Lexie and her team Nepo Mommy their first big encouragement to begin their journey into the indie improv scene!

    This episode is all about trust, growth, and finding your voice in LA’s ever-evolving comedy scene. Whether you’re an improviser or just love hearing about the creative grind, Part 2 is full of insight, heart, and behind-the-scenes perspective.

    Plus, a fun note: Jim Woods can be seen in Season 2 of Jury Duty on Amazon Prime Video, bringing his improv sensibility to the screen.
