  • Summary

  • Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you to think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school, or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.

  • Jodi Miller - The Only “Single” Single Mother in The Room

    Jodi Miller - The Only “Single” Single Mother in The Room
    May 28 2024
    Jodi Miller is a comedian, writer, and actress who’s been performing stand up for over 20 years and has also done 4 military tours including going overseas to entertain troops in Afghanistan. She currently works as the head writer for the syndicated comic game show Funny You Should Ask, and she hosts the show The World’s Funniest Weather. Her new comedy special Decades in the Making, is available now on Youtube.

    Laura opens the show by talking about where her and Scott met Jodi, as well as asking her about her thoughts on being a mom growing up and when she finally decided to try to conceive. After being unable to conceive naturally, that was when Jodi decided to adopt.

    Jodi then tells the story behind adopting her daughter, which included a last minute and unexpected phone call from her lawyer instructing her to fly out to Kentucky the following day, during COVID, to pick up her daughter. This leads to a realization of just how hard it is to be a single parent to a young child.

    After that, Laura asks Jodi about her current dating life as a single mother in Los Angeles, as well as her old podcast Don’t Call Me Ma’am. Jodi then tells a popular story from her life about nailing the audition for America’s Got Talent, only to be excused by producers for no reason. This leads to some praise from Laura over Jodi’s work on the comic TV game show Funny You Should Ask.

    Scott Talks to Maestro Claudio
    May 23 2024
    Claudio "Maestro" Bergamin is an Italian pornographic actor, cinematographer, director, and producer. He is also the owner of the adult boutique website and production label PervCity, DPdiva.com, and co-owner of BAM Visions label. He has appeared in over 200 titles and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2019.

    Laura opens the show by asking Claudio about his life in Italy as a mining engineering before getting into the porn industry. It wasn’t he went to go see his first pornographic film in a movie theater that he realized what he really wanted to do.

    Claudio then talks about moving to the United States with his wife and entering into adult entertainment. He explains his relationship with his wife, how they feel about each other being in the adult film industry, and how they are even able to work together during the production process. Claudio explains what it’s like to not only be a male actor in adult entertainment, but also a director, producer, cinematographer and more. He reveals some of the differences between older male actors vs younger male actors, all natural actresses vs ones with plastic surgery, and what kind of enhancements he takes to maintain his energy both on and off set.

    He then wraps up the show by wondering what’s next for his career, and some of things he’d like to pursue as he gets older.
