My guest today is Laura, although she’s better known on TikTok as @thebpspouse, short for bipolar spouse. As someone who has bipolar 1 disorder like her husband does, I have to say she’s given me huge insights into what my partners have gone through while I’ve suffered from mania and depression, because it affects the whole family.

I’ve enjoyed watching her on TikTok for a while now not only because she makes learning about bipolar entertaining, but also because her account is full of so many great tips and is just overall very educational.

My guest today is Matt Gibson, aka San Salinas, and he’s a crazy talented rocker and fellow Ohioan from way up north in Cleveland. I’ve been friends with him for a while on TikTok and I’ve been wanting to talk to him forever because he has some incredible original songs both lyrically and musically, so join me for my conversation with him about his work.

Hello and welcome to the Killing Time With Arch podcast, the show where you get to learn more about your favorite, and future favorite TikTok creators.

My guest on the show today is a TikTok friend who goes by the handle @marycliftonMD. Dr. Clifton is a board-certified, licensed, internal medicine doctor and a best-selling author, consultant, expert, and speaker on the impacts and applications of CBD and Cannabis.

On the show today is an interview I managed to do in Sarajevo this past summer with Turbofolk musical sensation, Fazlija, who is from Bosnia and  Herzegovina and happened to be doing a show in Sarajevo during my trip there this summer, which I also attended. Many thanks to him for sitting down to talk with me,  and to my friend, Midhat Efendira, for translating the conversation!

As I write this I am at the Podcast Movement's annual conference in Dallas, TX for the first time ever and so I felt this would be a good interview to publish after my (more than) two-month hiatus... which I apologize for. But, I’m excited to get to talk to someone with a ton of podcasting experience and expertise, Arrielle Nissenblatt, who is the founder of the EarBuds Podcast Collective, which is a newsletter that goes out weekly and gives you recommendations on podcasts to check out, so I’m sure that she will have some good ones for us as well today. She also co-hosts two podcasts (that I know of) and is just an all-around interesting person, so join me as we talk about everything from podcast marketing to the migration and assimilation patterns of the Kaifeng Jews!

You can find her on Twitter @arithisandthat

She's also on TikTok @earbudspodcasting

On today’s episode I’m excited to talk to my good friend Bridget Flaherty, a local Dayton entrepreneur, coach, storyteller, writer, and more. She’s the other half of the podcast Tears, Tides, and Transformation, which she co-hosts with KeAnna Daniels, who I also interviewed on my other podcast in episode 29 (see discoverdaytonpodcast.com). She also founded and runs LORE, a storytelling business that I’ve taken classes from, so I look forward to talking with her about that, as well as some of her more recent ventures and, of course, her stories.

My guest on Killing Time With Arch today is Asher, AKA “Badger’s Bargain Bites” on TikTok. His bio explains that he is a home cook, broke, mostly vegetarian, and great at cooking but bad at filming. I, however, would take issue with that last part, as I really enjoy his videos. He’s not only entertaining but educational as well, and it was a lot of fun sitting down to talk with him. Oh, and did I mention he’s from the UK? So join us as we talk about that, his recipes, podcast recommendations, and more. So tune in now!

You can find Asher on TikTok and Instagram @badgersbargainbites, so go give him a follow now!

Welcome to the Killing Time With Arch podcast, the show where I talk to your favorite TikTok creators. On today’s episode, I’m excited to get to talk to Sam Barsky. Sam is well-known on TikTok for his amazing knitting skills, which he showcases by knitting many sweaters of things like famous landmarks, holiday themes, animals, and more. He also does workshops and gives talks about knitting as well, so I’m excited to have the opportunity to talk with him today about his craft.

Welcome to the Killing Time With Arch podcast! On today’s episode, I am talking with Nick Brown, AKA @Chain….smoker on TikTok. He is pretty much the only person I follow on TikTok who represents the “pipetok” community, as in tobacco pipe smoking. I’ve actually had the privilege of meeting him at a pipe show down in Tennessee and then we set up a time to do an interview, so I hope you enjoy it!

To find Nick on TikTok, you can find him @Chain….smoker.

He’s on Instagram as @cha1n_smoker.

On today’s episode of Killing Time I’m excited to get to talk to  Chicago’s Ms. Dive Diva, whose goal it is to find the “diviest dive bar”  in all of Chicago. She’s on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram as  @chicagodivediva and she has a blog as well that we’ll also talk about,  so join me as we talk about everything from Mallort to the bar in the  Chicago Art Museum in this episode. Also, as a fun aside, I happened to  be visiting Chicago recently and got to meet up and hang out and have  some Mallory and Old Styles at Rossi’s, a downtown dive bar, so if you  follow me on TikTok you’ll see a video collaboration of the two of us!

If you’d like to learn more and find her blog or check out her cool merch, visit https://chicagodivediva.company.site/.
