The prolonged isolation of COVID has taught me that I really have some incredible friends: novelists, memoirists, poets, musicians, songwriters, comedians, painters and so on. Also, I am terrible at keeping in touch with them. These conversations will be part catch-up with my friends (some of whom I haven’t spoken to in years) about our addictions and/or sobriety, our mental health struggles, and the challenges of the creative life. And these will be in-depth explorations of their work, how they work, what inspires them, and what’s coming next. Yes, I’m a writer and musician, but I’m a fan first. These are artists and people I love, and it’s my honor to share them with you.

Chad Riden currently lives on the Taos County, New Mexico high desert mesa where he is building a sustainable, off the grid compound with some awesome friends while producing comedy shows for the TaosComedy 501c3 non-profit.
Riden has appeared on “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, the Late Show with David Letterman’s “Tony Mendez Show,” ABC/CMT’s “Nashville,” “CBS This Morning,” HBO/Max “Love Off The Grid,” “Chrisley Knows Best,” “Still The King,” “TRUMP OCH KOMIKERNA – HUMORKRIGET” (TV4 Sweden, C-MORE’s “Trump Vs Comedy”), CMT-Canada’s “Mississippi Snake Grabbers,” and once ate lunch at The Magic Castle in Los Angeles whose newsletter called him “the most famous un-famous person.”
Chad produced and hosted the annual Guinness world record breaking 184+ hour long #BrokenRecordShow (longest stand-up comedy show, multiple comedians) every year from 2015-2018 as part of the Nashville Comedy Festival. “Broken Records,” a documentary shot during the 2016 show, is available to stream on ShortFilmsMatter.com Riden ran for Mayor of Nashville in 2015, which was hilarious and everybody loved it even though he lost miserably. Undaunted, in 2018 he ran for Governor of Tennessee and garnered 1,096 votes statewide, finishing 14th out of 28 candidates on the ballot – a mere 1,335,011 votes short of winning the whole damn thing.
