The True Meaning of BSing

Sean K = me, Sean Kneese. I originally started this podcast as simply a space for traditional interviews with artists and other creative types. As I started bringing on increasing numbers of diverse guests, the show organically developed its own theme: I converse with people who think and live outside the box and are pursuing their creative and intellectual passions. They are non-conformists: people who go against the grain and follow their own path. I also like to provide a platform for opinions that aren't often heard in the mainstream media, and prefer to keep a conversational feel to my interviews. I enjoy talking to all different kinds of people from all walks of life and I hope that my podcast can show that we all have more in common than we think, even if it might not always seem that way on the surface.

Episode 87: Sean K is the one interviewed in THIS episode for a change!!



\

(Note- this episode was originally episode 100, before I took down some of the older episodes that didn't have good sound quality, weren't up to par with the other episode or didn't fit with the direction i'm taking BS'ing in now.) In  this special 100th episode of BS’ing with Sean K: BS'ing host and producer Sean Kneese is interviewed by musician, youtuber, podcaster, yogi and former BS'ing guest Gabrielle Angel Lily.  Sean talks about his inspiration behind the show, what connects his various guests together, how he's grown and developed as a person through his podcast and as an actor/musician/writer, what it means to “live outside the box” and other interesting topics. This interview has also been used for the first episode of Gabrielle's "Angel's Authentic Action Now Podcast" .
