Real Conversations, with Real People, about Real Life.
irRegular People is a podcast exploring the stories, ideas, problems, and projects of “regular people.”
On irRegular People, my goal is to highlight the everyday wisdom of the lesser-known. You, me, that person across the street you’ve never met: we all have experiences that just might be valuable to someone else.
By listening to the voices of people both similar to and different than ourselves, we can become more compassionate, enlightened individuals.
Together, with the magic of real conversation, perhaps we can inspire, learn, grow, and change.
Calvin Marty
Creator, producer, editor, host, music composer.
Right now, irRegular People is a one-man production. But I am getting some much-needed help, consulting, and advice from my friends and family. I hope that the podcast grows and changes, allowing for partnerships and employment.
I’m an actor, voice-over artist, musician, songwriter, bartender, bar-owner, and now, podcaster. I’m endlessly curious, love to learn, and crave sharing with others. I truly enjoy hearing what it’s like to be somebody else.
Wilam Tarris
Pro Bono Communications Consultant, Story Adviser.
A brilliant mind and a stellar friend, Wilam recently received his master’s degree from the School of Communication at Northwestern University.
Wilam pushes me forward when I’m filled with self-doubt and gives frank, well-thought-out opinions and advice. A true lover of podcasts, Wilam has been essential throughout the process. He’s spent hours listening, encouraging, and pushing me to distill my ideas into a clearer, more effective form.
I keep trying to convince Wilam to join the company, full-time, and project-manage the shit out of it.
