About

The Show

Will’s Word started, like so many other good ideas, after a few drinks. Will had built a studio and acquired audio equipment for his Voiceover and music endeavors. He had been spending time listening to talk radio and thought that creating a podcast would be a way add his voice to the discussions happening everywhere while making more use of his audio equipment. Will previously had a blog of the same name and decided to take several of the themes and elements of the blog and incorporate them into a podcast. The main idea was to take one word (or sometimes phrase) to center a discussion on what we as people experience in pop culture and everyday happenings, and why those things matter. Knowing damn well nobody would want to listen to him ramble on for 20-30 minutes, he reached out to his longtime close friend Ryan to co-host the show.

Ryan and Will have been friends since 2004, where they quickly developed a genuine dynamic in holding insightful and interesting conversation that would often engage others at social functions. They figured that would be a good trait to have in a podcast. So here we are.

The Hosts

Will is an Arts Management professional, musician, freelance Travel Director, and aspiring Voiceover artist. He has also worked in the local theme parks and hotels (so he has some stories). Although a Ft. Lauderdale native, Will grew up in and currently resides in Orlando. While his roots are in Florida, he credits his six-year stint in Chicago for deepening his love of arts and culture. He’s had “real” jobs in both cities and between the two cities has been a member of a jazz band, ska/punk band, and brass band. Will travels a lot for work, but when he is in town (and not recording) he can be found with his wife exploring local restaurants and bars, at an Orlando Magic game, or home watching Formula One.

Ryan is an Actor, Magician, Toastmaster, Freemason, LEGO Maniac, and author of The Adventures of Ryan & Molly. He is a loving husband and self proclaimed “World’s Best Dog-Dad”. HIs previous stage performances include Detective Blore in “And Then There Were None”, Mortimer Brewster in “Arsenic and Old Lace”, and Mitchell Lovell in “Murder at the Howard Johnson’s”. When Ryan is not performing on stage or locked inside Will’s studio recording hours of podcast audio, he can be found at the local comic book shop debating the plural form of “Spider-Man” with fellow patrons.
