  • Summary

  • Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you to think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school, or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.

    Scott Talks to Maestro Claudio
    May 23 2024
    Claudio "Maestro" Bergamin is an Italian pornographic actor, cinematographer, director, and producer. He is also the owner of the adult boutique website and production label PervCity, DPdiva.com, and co-owner of BAM Visions label. He has appeared in over 200 titles and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2019.

    Laura opens the show by asking Claudio about his life in Italy as a mining engineering before getting into the porn industry. It wasn’t he went to go see his first pornographic film in a movie theater that he realized what he really wanted to do.

    Claudio then talks about moving to the United States with his wife and entering into adult entertainment. He explains his relationship with his wife, how they feel about each other being in the adult film industry, and how they are even able to work together during the production process. Claudio explains what it’s like to not only be a male actor in adult entertainment, but also a director, producer, cinematographer and more. He reveals some of the differences between older male actors vs younger male actors, all natural actresses vs ones with plastic surgery, and what kind of enhancements he takes to maintain his energy both on and off set.

    He then wraps up the show by wondering what’s next for his career, and some of things he’d like to pursue as he gets older.

  • Scott Talks to Dr. Michael Caparrelli

    Scott Talks to Dr. Michael Caparrelli
    May 16 2024
    Dr. Michael Caparrelli graduated from Zion Bible College, and thereafter, pastored an inner city church for 16 years. In 2021, he finished his PhD in Advanced Studies in Behavioral Science. Currently, he’s a keynote speaker in churches, prisons, schools & other venues across the U.S. on a wide variety of mental health subjects. He’s authored five books that help the psychologically troubled overcome life adversities. His most recent book, Monster Mirror, features his 100 Hour Case Study on David Berkowitz, the ‘Son of Sam’, a convicted serial killer who held New York City hostage with fear from 1976 – 1977 and gave his life to Christ in prison in 1988.

    Dr. Caparrelli starts off by giving a bit of his background as a pastor for 16 years, before deciding to get his PhD after suffering 2 heart attacks. He goes on to explain his troubled childhood with a father in prison and being sent to juvenile prison as a teenager.

    He then dives into the case of David Berkowitz, from first hearing about “the Son of Sam” as a kid to eventually meeting with him in prison. Laura asks Michael about jailhouse conversions, and how he deals with the emotional exhaustion that comes with being a pastor who visits violent criminals in prison.

    After that they get more in-depth about the life of David Berkowitz, the crimes he committed, and various family members who were affected by his murders. Michael gives his opinions on David’s mental health issues, and goes to explore some of the things that could turn someone into a serial killer.

    Before they wrap, Dr. Caparrelli explains the title of his book: Monster Mirror: 100 Hours with David Berkowitz, Once Known As Son of Sam, On Mental Health, & Evil Phenomena
