Description
When I pitched my web series, Anxiety Boys, to a bunch of networks, I was super psyched to get some sexy responses from the executives we were pitching to. But after sending to 11 different folks, we got zero follow-up meetings. It was mainly chalked up to the show having 'no star power', which means that it doesn't have any celebrities in it. So we just threw it up on YouTube for free instead. After telling this story to a close friend's mother, she suggested my next project use that term as its title and that made me laugh. So this is that project. And so and yeah!

So that's the name of this podcast now. But in February of 2022, the show was actually given new life through a web series festival in NYC. And they actually managed to get the show licensed by Roku. So this story isn't over yet! Stay tuned to see what happens with that and more on NO STAR POWER!
