Pete has been a broadcaster for the last 30 years, falling in love with the edit bay in the back of a newsroom in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He studied journalism at the University of Colorado with a focus on long-form documentary production, turning that early experience into a career helping businesses shape the stories of their brands through image and sound. Pete earned an M.S. in Organizational Design and spent fifteen years teaching graduate marketing students the power of human-centered communications. From public relations teams on global multi-million dollar brand projects to marketing for independent business owners, Pete has helped shape communications that build brands. In 2006, he launched Fifth & Main, LLC., a media consultancy focused on brand-building through the nascent field of podcasting. In 2020, nearly 3,000 individual podcast episodes behind them, the company rebranded as TruStory FM with an ear toward the next decade of podcast education and entertainment.
Pete has hosted as well as been a panelist on a number of episodes.

Our long national nightmare is finally over as we bid a not-so-fond farewell to Thor: The Dark World, dragging ourselves across the finish line to discuss Benicio del Toro’s questionable wig choices and that time The Collector kidnapped the Wasp for… reasons. Join us as we sweep up the plot holes, apologize for the lack of Howard the Duck, and look desperately toward the political thriller sanctuary of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
We are joined by cinematographer Mattias Nyberg to talk about both his work as a cinematographer—particularly his latest project “The Girlfriend” with Robin Wright—and one of his favorite films, David Lynch’s “Mulholland Drive.”
We continue our Cinema Centennial: 1925’s Pioneering Visions series with a fantastic dose of comedy following a man who has to marry by 7pm in order to get his inheritance. It’s Buster Keaton’s Seven Chances.
What does it mean to truly let go as a parent?
Thor lays his heart bare to his father… only to discover he’s been pouring his soul out to Loki in disguise the entire time. Then we vault into the cosmic chaos of James Gunn’s universe, where the Collector, the Reality Stone, and one very questionable assistant open the door to the MCU’s Infinity future.
For our Season 31 finale, DiscordMom Melissa takes over hosting duties and puts us through a no-stakes quiz show filled with nostalgia, chaos, and confessions we absolutely can’t take back. It’s the most fun way possible to close out the season—and maybe the most honest we’ve ever been on-mic.
We continue our Cinema Centennial: 1925’s Pioneering Visions series with the movie with possibly the most confusing history of releases, Rupert Julian’s adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s classic novel “The Phantom of the Opera.”
