Aunty Sochelle Hour-ish Show

 
Last year we were introduced to a smart, funny, and downright innovative feminist filmmaker, Craig Ouellette, during his festival run of his feature film Straight On Till Morning.  A love story wrapped in a horror story, this film has sparked a lot of award wins in those festivals. Two reasons for his good fortune? The stars, Kelsey Christian and Bonnie Jean Tyer join Craig in this visit with Aunty as she discusses the powerful acting, the positive affect of horror on people and oh- a new bride to be!Trailer at the end of this interview at the expressed permission of the Director and Producers.

When the Aunty Sochelle Hour-ish show first began recording, about March, 2025., no one heard of us, and no one knew what we were up to. Our team, (Dolly, Fred, Tanya, Mila, Harley, Jen and Muhammad) didn't really exist. It was two people, trying to get a show others might like seeing. Our very first guest for that show was Baldur's Gate 3 voice actor Dave Jones, (Halsin, the Druid man-bear). He was BRILLIANT and it's still one of our favorite guests on any of our 80 episodes. WHY are we talking about Dave? During his visit, we surprised him with his game vox co-stars, Neil Newbon, Samantha Béart and this week's guest, Mr. Tim Downie. 
Now, in 2026, we start a new season of the show, and who better to help launch us than the guy who had us laughing from the get-go, Tim Downie. He is sharply funny and knows more about more things than just about anyone. In fact, if it weren't for a liquor ad making the claim to someone else, Tim would be the most interesting man in the world.  Join Aunty as she chats with Tim about his upcoming book release, Rituals- A Folk Journey Through the British Isles, (October 26, 2026). He chats on Gale, his companion character that truly changed his life, from Baldurs Gate 3. We talk about his career on tv and film in such things as Good Omens, Outlander, Geek Girl,  Paddington,  and even his work with Matt Berry in Toast of London, and David Mitchell in Upstart Crow.  He also is a shining example of great parenting- showing his daughters how to live a life in service to others, and how to make a great birthday cake. Aunty adores Tim and she hopes you do, too!

Detroit has been the launching ground of musical artists and poets for decades. In my post-divorce years, I was fortunate enough to live in the area for a couple of years, finding incredible performers, writers, and artists along the way. One of these extraordinary humans is Ms. Rosemarie Wilson. She is an author, artist, playwright, poetess, songwriter, and OH what a voice! She's written and produced plays, and her Fly-Ku's are Chef's kiss brilliant. This actor can bring tears to your eyes in laughter or sadness with just a few simple words. Visit with Aunty and Rosemarie in this lively music heavy interview.

He could have been an engineer in the lucrative world of dot coms. He might have been a Broadway dancer, had he tapped into it, (pun intended).  He may still become a professional poker player full time. Instead, one of the brightest minds in Northern California ended up as a juggler. Not just a juggler, but a juggler's juggler. Meet Scotty Meltzer- a corporate juggler. A corporate juggler comedian in a Primus video, (Mr Kringle). Aunty goes back and forth with her longtime friend and former housemate, Scotty Meltzer.

You might have heard the old tale. Girl meets guy. Girl and guy fall in love. Guy proposes. Girl brings dogs. Guy says, "me or dogs". Girl keeps dogs, dumps guy. It happens every day. THIS time, the girl is April Brucker, and the dogs turn out to be her collection of co-workers- her puppets. Let's meet April, a talented ventriloquist comedian, musician and all-around showbiz zeitgeist who has a story like no other.  May joins in the interview because she was there.

If you ask any working veteran American stand-up which manager, or coach helped shape their career the most, the names Steve and Barb North will grace their lips with a smile. We spoke earlier with Barb North, but now Steve is up at bat. Mr. North, easily recognizable in his captain's cap looks like everyone's favorite uncle, or a member of a Captain and Tenille cover act. This guy has worked as a writer on legendary television from the 1980s until this very day. If it made you laugh on Networks, there is a very big chance Steve was the reason why. And, if there is a comedian who has blown you away, there is a big chance Steve was part of the comedian's growth. Aunty loves Steve North, and she bets you will, too.
