Today's episode is our annual Oscar episode of the podcast!


Austin Grant and I sat down and made our picks for who we think will take home this year's Academy Award. There are so many great contenders in every category this year. If we had it our way, there would be multiple winners.

We are getting ready to head down to Los Angeles right now and we will have plenty of Oscar coverage. Make sure you're following us on social media for all of our insight, including live tweeting the Oscars.


We can't wait to see what Jimmy Kimmel brings to the show this year as the host, but we know it will be fantastic! And if you're in Los Angeles right now, don't miss our 100th episode, LIVE from the Nerdist Showroom at Meltdown on Tuesday Feb. 28th with special guests, Lady to Lady Podcast!

On today's episode I have musician, John Allred!


John just released his brand new album 'Brave New World', which debuted at #4 on iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts, and #6 on Billboards Heatseekrs - Mountain chart!

John and I have been friends for several years, first meeting when one of my terrible bands played with Allred over 10 years ago on Fox 13. John and I haven't had a chance to catch up in a little over three years, so this episode was a great opportunity to sit down and talk.
