  • Imaginary Luxury Travels with Lulu & Alison
    Sep 17 2020

    Robin has the pleasure to have 2 guests in this episode! The two sunshine and laughs girls: Lulu & Alison from the 10K Dollar Day podcast. They discuss imaginary luxury traveling, more traveling and...their upcoming mega - project of course!

     

    About Lulu and Alison:

    From the moment Alison Burns and Lulu Picart met in a theater rehearsal in 2011, they knew they wanted to work together forever. The next few years granted that wish often, and the pair performed in several regional productions, created their own duo cabaret, toured the country singing with Disney composer David Friedman, and were even roommates during their off-Broadway run in 2014.

     

    While both Alison and Lulu are accomplished actors, directors, and writers, Alison is also an award-winning choreographer, and Lulu works a creative consultant, often in music supervision. All of this performance and production experience have helped make the 10K Dollar Day podcasts and YouTube channel a success.

     

    Outside of this venture, Alison continues to direct and perform, plus run a full-time performance coaching business. Lulu will be seen on Broadway in 2021 in the revival of 1776.

  • Cultures, Relationships, Writing and Travelling with Rachanee Lumayno
    Sep 15 2020
    In this episode Robin talks about multi-cultural relationships, funny travel stories and being a creative with Rachanee. She is a writer, podcaster, musician and so much more! About Rachanee: 

     

    I was born on a snowy day in Michigan (I'm just guessing, but since it was winter, it's a pretty good guess). I loved playing let's pretend and creating things; at my 4th grade birthday party I wrote a play and made all my friends participate in it. (No performance = no cake.) I pursued a degree in photojournalism but detoured  into a music career. Four albums, over 1000 shows, many car miles and a few awards later, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in... acting and writing. (You thought I was going to say music, weren't you?)

     

    While comedy is my main thing, I also do voice-overs, TV and film. Some of my favorite projects include playing a harried employee on Stevie TV; being a delusional girlfriend in a Matthew Hussey video; helping people navigate their Google Pixel 4 in an explained video series; and voicing the character of Yu Yan in Swan Princess 10: A Royal Wedding.

     

    My journalism roots run deep though - I still write, mostly romantic comedy films, comedy TV shows, and sketches. My scripted comedy podcast, Ex Pat, debuted in March 2020 on all major podcast platforms. My comedy sketch, Happy Divorce-aversary, was featured in the 2018 National Hispanic Media Coalition’s industry showcase.

     

    When I’m not creating, you can find me playing in a dodge ball league or geeking out over tabletop and video games.

     

    About the podcast: A comedy about an interracial and international romance between a Filipina American gal and an Irish guy and the culture clash that happens as a result.*** Links *** Ex Pat:website - www.ExPatTheShow.comTwitter - www.twitter.com/ExPatTheShowInstagram - www.instagram.com/ExPatTheShow  Rachanee's info:website - www.rachanee.netTwitter - www.twitter.com/rachaneelumaynoInstagram - www.instagram.com/moonlilymusic  Writers Group Therapy:website - www.writersgrouptherapy.comTwitter - www.twitter.com/wgtherapyInstagram - www.instagram.com/wgtherapy
