By Common Kyser Show

Every face has a story, even the "common" ones. These stories possess many different viewpoints and attributes that tend to get blotted out by popular controversies.

The mission of this show is to go behind the scenes of "common" people to explore their stories, viewpoints, and/or worldviews. Each episode will feature a "guest star" who I will interview individually or a group of "guest stars" who I'll interview together.
