This week, Been Trying to Meet You goes straight to the heart of Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, with artist April Childers. We dive into deep topics like roadkill art, haunted houses, and the definitive ranking of horror movies—because why not? Sure, it sounds like we’re auditioning to replace a true crime podcast, but we promise there’s more here than goth vibes (though we’re not mad about it).

Oh, and we’re totally sponsored by pickleball. (JK, we’ve never even played—unlike certain other podcasts that claim to be relatable but are probably too busy being sponsored by overpriced mattresses or meal kits.)

This episode is packed with laughs, weirdly specific tangents, and the kind of energy that only small-town Tennessee and a podcast with no rules can deliver. Tune in, because Spotify isn’t gonna give us a multimillion-dollar deal for this, but you will have fun.

This week on Been Trying to Meet You, we hang out with the incredibly talented and totally chill filmmaker Domonic Smith, straight out of Tampa, Florida. Dom dishes on his unique bond with Freddy Krueger (yep, you read that right), navigating the wild world of YouTube comments, and what it’s like to handle social media fame.

He shares wisdom about never letting your passions sit on the sidelines and spills behind-the-scenes stories of working on commercials with Taraji P. Henson—including how he kept his cool while totally starstruck. It’s a fun, lighthearted episode packed with laughs, stories, and a reminder to always chase your dreams.

This week on Been Trying to Meet You, we’re going international with our first guest from across the globe! Peter Banigo joins us from Nigeria to drop wisdom on everything from starting businesses and podcasts to growing veggies like a boss. Peter schools Robb, Toby, and Jim on harnessing solar power (literally), surviving as an introvert, and navigating life in the UK and Istanbul—because why stop at one continent?

Oh, and we couldn’t skip roasting the U.S. weather because apparently, it’s trash everywhere. This episode is all about leveling up, one laugh at a time. Don’t miss it—Peter’s brilliance might just inspire you to plant a garden and power it with the sun (or at least complain more efficiently about the rain).
