Author Rob Simone goes way back with Dean Haglund. He’s a great guy and a good friend to both Dean and Phil. He makes an indelible contribution to their film The Truth Is Out There. He is an author, the host of The Rob Simone Talk Show and frequent guest host of Coast to Coast AM.
On this week’s show, the tables are turned and Rob becomes the interview subject.
Hear all about how we was turned onto the magic of radio at an early age and how he was inspired by the legendary Art Bell.
Hear about his involvement in the UFO disclosure movement.
Hear about the adventures in broadcasting that took Rob from Sedona, Arizona, to rural Australia to London, England and now, to YOU.
And hear about a wide range of mysterious subjects from asteroids to the hollow Earth theory to Black Eyed Children …
Hilarious, intriguing, irreverent and inspiring, it’s another top-notch installment of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour!

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #222
What do “Star Trek” and “The X-Files” have in common this week? Dean Haglund! He just got back from performing at the big TREK convention in Las Vegas and he shares stories of the event. And as soon as he got back to Los Angeles, it was time to report to the set this week for a television series called “The X-Files”! WHAT?!? Dean gives details.
And if all that wasn’t enough, Dean appeared on “Coast to Coast AM” this week and he shares his thoughts about that appearance.
Of course, Dean’s co-host, your friend in podcasting, Phil Leirness, has much to share as well … He holds court on a variety of topics, including a stage show about Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick “Watson”, the reality competition show “The Glee Project”, the blockbuster film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and the classic of 1930′s cinema, The Women.
All that, plus discussions of Kickstarter, the UK riots, the US economic meltdown … And you won’t want to miss Phil’s report about the Beverly Hills Police Department.
It’s YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour … With a vengeance!

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #208
A week ago, your friends in podcasting, Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness, were in the United Kingdom, visiting their friends at Sci-Fi-London, celebrating the Royal Wedding, attending the World Premiere of their documentary The Truth Is Out There and discussing the death of Osama Bin Laden. This week, they’re back in Los Angeles, where Dean is preparing his brand new gallery for this Thursday’s Downtown Art Walk and where Phil is directing an incredibly ambitious short film. Most important of all, they’re celebrating their 4th anniversary of changing the way YOU listen to the internet!
That’s right, this is our 4th anniversary show. And if such a thing as a wish accompanies such a milestone, Dean and Phil’s wish is that no matter where in the world you are, you help spread the word about the U.S. Premiere of The Truth Is Out There, which takes place at the Retro Dome in San Jose on Saturday 21 May. The screening will be followed by a live recording of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour. Tickets should be purchased in advance, right here!
Thanks!

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #183
Your friends in podcasting compare notes on their recent respective adventures in acting before launching into a diatribe on the bizarre way Hollywood casts ladies relative to their real ages. From there, it’s fond remembrances of two entertainment giants, actress Jill Clayburgh and international producer Dino De Laurentiis. Then, it’s onto questions from listeners Lejon Johnson and Monika Leopold, the former about producing, the latter about shooting and editing documentaries. Then, Phil quizzes Dean on his thoughts about some recent developments that might just help indie filmmakers in particular. Finally, there’s time for a heads-up on a GREAT animated film from last year before Dean and Phil close the show by debating the merits (or lack thereof) of AMC’s smash hit “The Walking Dead”. It’s YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour, so keep those questions and comments coming!
