Dean Delray's LET THERE BE TALK – Details, episodes & analysis

My guest Scoot McNairy has been in the acting game for years.

He's had an incredible career so far but it wasn't always smooth sailing.

Today he returns to the show after 12 years and we catch up on his life.

Scoot is known for his roles in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Monsters, Argo, Killing Them Softly, 12 Years a Slave, Gone Girl, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In television, he starred in the AMC period drama Halt and Catch Fire, True Detective, Narcos: Mexico, and the Netflix western miniseries Godless.

This man is not only a working actor he is also a friend and a motorcycle enthusiast which is really how we hit it off years and years ago.

Tune in and enjoy this one on this Labor Day weekend.

Kaya Stewart has been writing and recording songs since she was 13 years old. Sure Dave Stewart of Eurythmics is her Dad but that doesn't guarantee talent or success and she knows that.

After a song she wrote and recorded blew up on Soundcloud, records labels started knocking on her door. 

Soon she found herself on Warner Brothers Records and out on the Vans Warped Tour but it wasn't all dreamy.

Kaya decided to start over and do things her way. During the Pandemic she was diagnosed with OCD which was the catalyst to write the collection of songs that make up her new album IF THINGS GO SOUTH which was co-written and co-produced by Dave Stewart.

The record comes out Sept 30th and will be available on all streaming platforms.

Kaya has an incredible voice and is a great songwriter and I really dig some of the songs on her new album.

I think you guys are really gonna dig this episode.

Today we go to another level on the show with my ultimate dream guest Mr Gene Simmons of KISS.

11 years ago when I started this show I made a list of Dream Guest and Gene was at the top.

This man completely changed my life in 1977 and is 100 percent the reason I pursued a life in the Arts.

Over 660 episodes of Let There Be Talk and 80 percent of them all said Kiss is the reason they started playing music.

To quote my good friend Cedric Bixler-Zavala of The Mars Volta KISS is The Gateway into Rock n Roll and he could not be more correct.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it.

Keep the candles lit my friends
