  • Potential, but lacking structure

    With a little more background introduction of guests at the top and some grounding touch point questions or topics to cover, I would enjoy this much more. It’s fine for conversations to spin off in different directions, but there should be some structure so a listener can follow along.

    Taking the time to make sure you spell out certain acronyms or explain names of things that not everyone is aware of would help the listener follow along too (if you mention the Addy’s for example, if you're not... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

In the Den with SIMBA / Anna Marie Martin of SpokeAnna on Grants, Nonprofits, and Why Relationships Win
Q: How is AI versus you? Do people think they can just get AI to write this grant and they're good?
Martin says AI can help with research, prospecting, and first drafts, but it cannot develop relationships, evaluate an idea's fit with a community, or supply the contextual knowledge a grant writer gains from working with funders.
In the Den with SIMBA / Anna Marie Martin of SpokeAnna on Grants, Nonprofits, and Why Relationships Win
Q: What are the biggest challenges you're seeing right now for nonprofits, especially the smaller organizations, trying to get grants?
Martin describes federal funding reductions and increased reliance on nonprofits, while private funders face far more applications. She says organizations need multiple revenue sources and should build relationships with funders rather than apply indiscriminately.
Jeremy Urann & Sherri Bylenga, Creators of HOTSHOTS
Q: What role does the Seed&Spark campaign play, and how does donor matching influence fundraising?
Seed&Spark serves as the crowdfunding hub, with a matching donor that doubles contributions, which helps reach funding goals and demonstrates community faith in the project while acknowledging external events like local fires that affect giving.
Jeremy Urann & Sherri Bylenga, Creators of HOTSHOTS
Q: How did the pivot from a feature-length plan to a 17-minute proof of concept come about, and what does that mean for funding and audiences?
The pivot was driven by the need to prove concept viability and to quickly show audiences and potential funders what Hotshots could become, using a concise, high-impact proof of concept to attract support for a future feature.
On The Streets with Spokast! / I Discovered Panic! at the Disco / January 27, 2026
Q: Who is your artist or band that you discovered before anybody else heard them?
Brennan encourages listeners to share their own music discovery stories.
