Chica & the Man – Farewell Episode

Chica & The Man Farewell EpisodeIt’s the end of a journey for Chica & the Man. Our farewell episode. We’ve been working together for two years and talking about our separate creative projects on each other’s podcasts. First, Sonia Iris Lozada from Poetic Resurrection and Overheard at Chica’s Café was an invited guest on Alex Greenwood’s Mysterious Goings On podcast to discuss her book Follow: Akashic Dreaming Through Time. Then, Alex came on The Poetic Resurrection Podcast to talk about his writing journey and John Pilate Mystery Series.

Now, it’s time to say farewell. Sonia is devoting more attention to her acting and writing along with her pods, while Alex is creating another podcast focused on true crime in Kansas City as well as continuing to write. We’ll remember our meaningful conversations over the past two years fondly as we take the next steps in our respective careers. Goodbye, friends! Best wishes.

Writing & the WGA Strike

WGA SAG-AFTRA Strike 2023Here’s this month’s update for Chica & the Man while we’re on hiatus. I’d like to direct you towards our February 2023 episode about Writing and encourage you to give it a listen. In that episode, we discuss various aspects of writing. We address AI, which is one of the WGA Strike negotiations topics.

I’m an actor with SAG-AFTRA and we are currently on strike, along with the Writers Guild. So, in this month’s update, I’d like to express my admiration for the Writer’s Guild and their strength.

SAG-AFTRA is now on strike, and many of the Hollywood unions have reached unparalleled levels of unity. In this video, Negotiating Committee Co-Chair Chris Keyser discusses what this means and how we should proceed.

The Writers Guild of America negotiation includes several important components: episodic television, streaming channels, artificial intelligence, pension benefits and health. See the link to learn more about the WGA negotiations.

Chica & the Man – AI, Hiatus & Vacations

Chica & the Man - AI, Hiatus & VacationsIn this episode, we give our two-cents worth on AI – how we use it as writers. We touch on the concerns of AI regarding the Writers Guild strike. How we, as writers use it. Yes, it is a suitable tool for grammar checks and getting a story idea when stuck, but we both find it lacking for story and plot.

We are going on hiatus for the summer. But we’re not forgetting about you and plan on doing the best of during the summer and for fun we talked about doing some live episodes. We are going on hiatus because we both need time to write and Sonia will work on some of her skits.

Vacations – YES. Sonia went to Mexico and Alex will be off to an island by Savannah for his vacation.

Stay tuned, have an amazing summer and enjoy the best of Chica and the Man podcast.

Alex is Back! – Catching Up

Alex & Sonia Catch UpAlex is back! We’re catching up. As many of you know, Alex has been on hiatus during the summer. Last time we recorded an episode was in July, which I released during the summer. We discuss our summer, life, careers and, as always, have a few laughs and, of course, we banter.

We discuss our other podcast. Alex has his Mysteries Goings On and PR After Hours. My other two podcasts are Poetic Resurrection and Overheard at Chica’s Café. Both have been fun and exciting. It’s great to catch up with Alex. We’ve missed talking to each other.

Alex has had book signings and has had a great summer with his family. Now he’s back to work in his PR firm and enjoying life.

I’ve been busy with auditions and I booked a Bosch Legacy episode to be released in the Spring of 2023. I’ve done several print ads which I can’t disclose until they’re publicized. But one was Walmart because that one has already passed.

 

Life Happens

Life Happens Chica & the ManWell, this episode is a month late. Life happened and Sonia was in Chicago for a while. In this episode, Sonia and Alex talk and laugh about life experiences.

  2. My mom’s health condition.
  3. Self-taping for commercials and TV/film.
  4. How siblings treat (sometimes mis-treat) each other.
  5. Alex discusses his current job and at the release of this episode, he is back to being his own boss.

Tune in and laugh with us.

Many blessings!
