On today's episode of On the Mic Podcast I sat down with comedian, Spencer King!
It was great to finally have Spencer make it on the show. The last time I had a chance to talk with Spencer was when he was a guest on My House on The Moon in early 2013.
It was great to be able to sit down and talk with comedy with Spencer and learn more about his writing process, learning from the comics he performs with and what has helped him craft his sets. Since the last time I talked with Spencer he became a father. It was great to talk with him about fatherhood and balancing his comedy career and family life.
Huge Thank You to Spencer King for joining me on this episode. It was great to catch up with Spencer and talk comedy. It's been great continually watching Spencer's comedy career and I can't wait to see what's next for him.
Spencer has two shows this weekend! You can see Spencer headline at WiseGuys Comedy in Ogden, Utah on Friday September 18th, and then he hosts for Todd Barry the following night, September 19th at WiseGuys Ogden. Go check them out!

On this weeks episode of On the Mic I at down with Austin Grant and recapped our time and live show at San Diego Comic Con!
As many of you know we hosted a LIVE show at San Diego Comic Con. Unfortunately, the show somehow only recorded 8 minutes. We didn't want to lose out on sharing our San Diego Comic Con experience, so Austin and I recorded this episode to share our stories from San Diego.

In this episode Austin and I go through each day of Comic Con starting with Preview Night where we screened the new CBS Pilot for "Supergirl". We also talked about our time on the convention floor, the amazing panels we got to see, going to see The Meltdown, Nerdist Conival, Conan Bingo and so much more!
Huge Thank you to everybody at San Diego Comic Con for making us feel so welcome and making us feel like family. We had such an amazing time and can't wait to come back next year.

We also talked about how he would like to take I Am Salt Lake to new levels, marketing podcasts and engaging with fan on social media, Chris' experience with online dating, eating vegan/vegetarian and so much more.
