Sparkle Up Podcast

Pop & Smash are treated to an exploratory experience of life from their friend Jonathan. Kick back and open up for this one as we journey together.

The fellas chat through some summertime libations, some horrible, some sublime. Crack your summery fave for this one.

The fellas connect with a pure gem of a person, Meredith. A true PRO level human and industry leader. Prepare for all of the groovy feels.

Be polite. Seriously. The boys continue the dialogue. Did you know that busy people are assholes when on phones or AirPods? Listen and we will prove it.

Smash and Pop welcome in long-standing friend, Jennifer, to discuss past wins and woes, healthcare in the industry (or lack thereof), and her new multi-faceted event coordinating gig. Her sparkle shines brightly in this one!

The fellas begin the dialogue about why there is less interaction between staff and guests. Any guesses? Maybe it's the computer in your pocket. Put the phone down. Order. Enjoy!

Smash and Pop reconnect and welcome in their long-time friend Drew from the heyday of Sparkles. Unofficially titled "the cry episode," this one elicits some great memories.

Smash and Pop tell a hardly remembered story of happenstance, willing silliness, and doing things just because. Take a hearty swig and tip your cap to the randomness of friendship. Bully!

We have Chef on to cover what it takes to perform and excel in the back of the house. Chef gives his take on his world experience, great and terrible. Learn the menu before you settle in for this one.

Smash & Pop saddle up and reminiscence of the time they told Nashville how to Sparkle Up! Guitar pools and paper bag dreams. Keep 'em holstered until the end of this one.

Clare comes on to smarten us all up, professional style. Sit back with a glass, relax and enjoy learning a thing or two, or twenty. And Sparkle Up to PRO level!

Frank rejoins us to reminisce about our visit to Pinehurst. In 2019 Smash and Pop went to visit Frank in the first leg of his retirement to bring the Sparkles to the old town. Golf, Amaro Montenegro, and the prequel to the Hot Quiets! As always... Sparkle Up!

We introduce The Fear and she discusses the female perspective in a hyper-sexualized part of the industry. Wonderful and insightful! As always, Sparkle Up!
