Welcome to Episode 63 of "Peter and Omar's Arts and Culture Show". This week, Peter and Omar welcome Chris Mammarelli to the show. This is the first double (2x) (2) (two!) Bonus material episode in the history of the show. Just when you think it's wrapping up, absurd brilliance springs anew. Regarding Mr. Mammarelli.... Chris is a charismatic actor, director, filmmaker, director of photography, tech savant with a throbbing, hyper-intensity that takes the Peter and Omar lair by storm. As a proud college dropout, Chris mastered the tech world, excelling in the roles of a webmaster for a corporate undertaker (auction liquidation for bankrupt companies), to operations for a prominent national conference call company, to web marketing manager for a cochlear implant company, and finally to his own phone sex programming company.

Welcome to Episode 51 of "Peter and Omar's Arts and Culture Show". This week, Peter and Omar welcome the fabulous songstress, Jilann O'Neill to the show. The discussion is of her music, inspiration, life, and loves, as well as her latest CD, "All These Things" and her upcoming show "Songs with View" at the Cavern Club in Silverlake, CA (8pm Saturday, May 16 and 8pm Sunday, May 17). For Jilann, in music, the idea has always been to have no skin at all. A place where the goal is to evoke emotion. The edge, though not always comfortable, is where you’ll most often find her. There is a certain truth in her music, her record conveys not only heartache but hope, passion, desire, obsession and courage. A powerful live performer, she brings to the stage her often used mantra, “even heartache can be a beautiful thing if you let it.” For her newest show, Songs with a View, Jilann takes her audience through a labyrinth of music and memory, blurring the lines between live musical performance and cabaret theater.
