The Cutting Room Floor

In this bonus episode, Christian goes off-script to talk about the firing of Stephen Colbert and the abrupt cancellation of The Late Show. But this isn’t just about TV and whether it's any good; this is about free speech, cowardly corporations, and what every working artist needs to understand about where their money comes from.

Christian connects the dots between media mergers, Trump’s never-ending fight against his enemies, and the quiet corporate censorship threatening artists today.
Warning: If you’ve ever dreamed of working with CBS, Paramount, or a soulless multinational conglomerate, this episode might burn a few bridges. And maybe it should...

Through honest solo reflections and candid conversations with fellow creatives, each episode explores the stories, struggles, and hard-earned lessons that don’t always make the final cut.
