Let's Talk Ten

Dan Fisher and his guests come up with Top Ten lists relating to pop culture --Movies/TV/Music/Etc. -- and then they compare notes. "Winning" arguments over what's the "best" is never the point. It's just people talking about the stuff they love and why they love it. Sometimes the conversation is silly, sometimes it's deeply personal -- as long as it's entertaining, it goes where it goes. Each "Let's Talk Ten" will cover a fresh topic (horror movies, debut albums, TV kids' shows) with a different guest. There are no scripts and lists are not shared beforehand. Episodes will drop every two weeks, on Mondays.

Let's Talk Ten is a arts podcast hosted by DAN FISHER, with 102 episodes on record and a Required Pod Score of 80. PitchCentric scores this show on Booking Probability, Listen Score, and live audience signals refreshed every 24 hours.

  EP. #83 -- DRUMMERS with Gang of Four's HUGO BURNHAM

  Aug 10, 202657 min

  HUGO BURNHAM -- drummer and founding member of GANG OF FOUR – is on the show to talk about some of his all-time favorite DRUMMERS and how they’ve inspired him -- as well as his own history behind the kit for one of most critically-hailed and influential post-punk bands of the late 70’s/early 80’s. Though he’s made much of his living by bashing the living hell out of snares, toms, and high-hats, Hugo also happens to be a charming and knowledgeable raconteur – in his “other” life, he’s been a university professor for the past two decades. On this occasion, Dan was more than happy to have been the eager student, as Hugo shared his thoughts on seeing Keith Moon for the first time on television, touring with the Buzzcocks, performing for the late Clem Burke’s memorial...and the only drummer that Hugo was ever genuinely frightened of. With over twenty astonishing clips, this is a podcast worth listening to. For maximum enjoyment, crank it up to Eleven. Support the show

  EP. #82 -- (MORE) DESERT ISLAND EVERYTHING with Michele Mantynen and Josh Chambers

  Jul 28, 20261h 2m

  We’ve all been asked this question at least a few times in our lives: “If you were stranded on a desert island and could bring only one thing – what would you bring?” Now -- narrow that selection down to just one movie, one album, or a boxed set of the entire run of a television series. If that were the case, what would you bring? LT10 returning favorites MICHELE MANTYNEN and JOSH CHAMBERS play along with Dan, as he forces them to make tough pop-cultural choices in such categories like So-Bad-It’s-Good Movie, TV Comedy or Variety Series, and the complete works of just one Musical Artist or Band. Like the castaways on Gilligan’s Island, these two made the best of their unusual situation, and a fun time was had by all. Listeners can join in the fun, by playing along with their own desert island pop-culture picks. Support the show

  EP. #80 – I’M COMING OUT with Andy Skurow

  Jun 29, 202659 min

  As Pride Month 2026 comes to a close, music executive and events producer ANDY SKUROW confides with Dan about the importance of music in his life and how it helped him to overcome his shame and fear of coming out to the world as gay – during a not-long-ago era when that still carried an enormous amount of personal risk and societal stigma. He also talks about how artists as diverse as Ashford and Simpson, Barry Manilow, RuPaul, Whitney Houston, Madonna, The Village People, Diana Ross, and many, many more – helped Andy to not only accept himself and his place in the LGBTQ+ community — but to embrace his own joy, stay out on the dance floor all night long, and live his life with honesty and pride.

  MINI-EPISODE #5 (REMIX) – THE TWILIGHT ZONE with Michele Mantynen & Josh Chambers

  Jun 23, 202649 min

  A remix/re-edit of an early “mini-episode” from 2023. MICHELE MANTYNEN and JOSH CHAMBERS, social media caretakers for "Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast" and “Fun for All Ages with Frank Santopadre”, are both certified "Twilight Zone" fanatics. Dan, on the other hand, is more of a casual fan. For this “round table” discussion, each had the tricky task of choosing just three of their favorite TZ episodes to talk about. As usual, the discussion is not as much about "which one was better than that one" (nobody chose "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet"?) as it is a mutual appreciation of one of the greatest television series of all time -- and why "The Twilight Zone" still matters to us.
