On this episode of So, What Do You Really Do? host Deadair Dennis talks to comedian, writer, and filmmaker Ron Placone.

While traveling in Los Angeles, Dennis sat down in his AirBnB to talk with Ron about working the road as a early comic, working in the music industry, podcasting with interesting people, performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest, early days of online streaming news shows, making his first feature film, and more.
